Friends and colleagues of Sidharth Shukla remembered the popular TV actor and Bigg Boss 13 winner, who passed away last year on September 2 following a heart attack.
The actor had become a household name for his roles in Balika Vadhu, Broken But Beautiful 3 and Dil Se Dil Tak. Later, he worked in a number of Hindi films, debuting with Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania where he played Angad Bedi, Alia Bhatt’s fiance. Sidharth’s journey on Bigg Boss 13 became even more special with the entry of co-contestant Shehnaaz Gill, a Punjabi singer-actress. The two became so close during their stint at the Bigg Boss house that fans named them #SidNaaz.
Here’s how his friends went down the memory lane.
