It’s been a month to our beloved Sidharth Shukla‘s untimely demise. The Bigg Boss 13 was passed away on September 2, 2021 due to heart attack. His untimely demise has left entire TV and film Industry shocked and saddened. Sidharth‘s family and close friend Shehnaaz Gill is still grieving with the pain of losing him. Meanwhile, actor Amit Tandon opened up about his equation with the late actor Sidharth Shukla.
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Amit Tandon was asked if he tends to follow late actor Sidharth Shukla‘s formula, ‘If you set the bar, I’ll raise it to be it whatever’. Replying to it, the actor spoke about his equation with Sidharth. Amit said, “I don”t think I’ll raise it, I’ll break the bar into several pieces. God bless his soul although I was not very close to him. We just met twice or thrice in the gym. There was always mutual respect between us because I also tend to lift weights a lot and he was also intimidating, tall and broad.”
Tandon further said, “When I saw him in the Bigg Boss house, frankly I didn’t really like him at that time. But the matter of the fact is that I saw a lot of myself in him because he was very real. That was the thing that used to knock my head. What I appreciate about Sidharth is that he was real. I never felt like he is doing anything deliberately for someone or the camera. He was always himself from day 1 till the time he left this world, he was always real. I really look up to a guy like that who never left his realness no matter what the situation is.”
The actor appreciated his realness and said, “He used to talk the same way with everybody. Even with Salman Khan, he didn’t lose his identity and kept his points with respect. With him, I felt if you would give him respect, he would give you respect and vice-versa if you disrespect him.”
Sidharth Shukla‘s last rites was done at the Oshiwara crematorium on September 3. The actor is survived by his mother and two sisters. His last public appearance was on Karan Johar hosted show Bigg Boss OTT & Colors’ dance reality show Dance Deewane 3 with close friend Shehnaaz Gill. Sid’s last project was the web series – Broken But Beautiful 3.
