In an unnatural turn of events, Bigg Boss 13 winner Sidharth Shukla passed away aged 40 this morning. He was last seen as a guest in Bigg Boss OTT and has been ruling the TV industry since his days of ‘Balika Vadhu’.
Born on 12 December 1980 in Mumbai to Ashok Shukla and Rita Shukla, Sidharth’s family has roots in Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad), Uttar Pradesh. He completed his schooling at St. Xavier’s High School, Fort and later graduated in Interior designing from Rachana Sansad School of Interior Design. Where some netizens are in grief, the others are trying to decode the reason for his sudden demise.
People who have followed Bigg Boss 13 know that Sidharth had multiple health issues. From heavy smoking to even being admitted for a week while the show was on the air, Sidharth never seemed fit. It is said that nowadays many actors go to a huge length to maintain their physique and look all pumped up all the time due to which they also make their bodies the hotbed of toxins. Their bodies surely look dreamy from the exterior but from within it just gets corroded.
To survive and sustain in the world of glamour, it turns tough for some to continue being corroded with non-ageing pills and battling serious issues such as smiling depression. We even saw how Sidharth’s anger issues led him to breathe difficulties and anxiety issues; this sudden demise seems a result of all such issues. He was also allegedly suffering from Typhoid in his last days.
Sidharth was also known for his strong friendship with his Bigg Boss co-contestant Shehnaaz Gill, which was often thought to be a romantic relationship. The rumoured couple appeared in several popular music videos together and were fondly known as ‘Sidnaaz’ by their legions of fans. He has also hosted Savdhaan India and India’s Got Talent.
