Everyone who loved Sidharth Shukla misses him dearly. On September 2, 2022 it will be his first death anniversary. The actor is not with us but his fond memories will live forever in our hearts. Sidharth gained huge popularity with his stint in Bigg Boss 13 and his season was the most volatile, intense and gripping one ever. His season is still the highest rated and no other season has crossed that mark. Sidharth Shukla’ friend and Designer Ken Ferns remembers him and makes some surprising revelation about him.
In a chat with Bollywood Life, Ken Ferns reveals that Sidharth Shukla was never keen to do Bigg Boss in the first place. He said, “Bigg Boss 13 was also offered to me. As we know, he was in talks to do the show. Initially, he was very hesitant but when he came to know that I was also approached, Sid called me everyday, he was like, you sign up, let us do this together. We will go the finals together. Of course, I did not do it but there was not a single day when he did not persuade me. He would call and constantly ask, ‘Are you doing it?’ and give me the chichhori gaalis when I said no (laughs out loud).”

Ken Ferns recalls the days before the finale when he was allowed to enter the controversial house as he has to make costumes for the grand finale. He said, “You won’t believe it. I went inside the house three days before the finale. He dragged me towards the bathroom area the moment I went in and said, “You should have done it, we would have been in the top three together. I would have ensured that you made it to the finale. I do not know how to describe this. We had met after so many days and this was the only thing that was on his mind. Sidharth was like this. He made sure all his friends inside the house had a great run on the show.”
Speaking about the finale, Ken Ferns quoted saying, “We were so nervous, all his friends. The moments before the announcement was made, we were literally dying inside. It was momentous. I was outside and rarely have I seen general public crowding in such numbers to see a Bigg Boss winner.”
