The king of Bigg Boss

- Titas Chowdhury

Afan-favourite from the day he entered the Bigg Boss house, it won’t be wrong to say Sidharth carried the show on his shoulders.

First, it was his friendship with Asim Riaz that became a talking point. However, after a few weeks, the two got into a fight, and that, too, created big buzz. Then came his relationsh­ip with Shehnaaz Gill, which became a hit.

The fact that makers brought in Shukla’s co-star and rumoured ex Rashami Desai was yet another aspect that created major buzz. But his emotional side warmed many hearts, too.

Good looker, dapper, handsome — these were some ways Sidharth Shukla was described.

The hunky actor made heads turn whenever he stepped out. He maintained a simple, yet suave style quotient over his 13-year-long career. Winner of the Hindustan Times Most Stylish Award in 2017, Shukla was often seen flaunting his classy style – be it in casual clothes or formal attire. The Gladrags Manhunt and Megamodel Contest runner-up featured on almost every list of good looking TV stars. His sartorial choices were always lauded by this fans.

While many remained divided over his game, the actor became so popular that he emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss 13. Makers invited him again to stay in the Bigg Boss house for some days in season 14 to boost the ratings.

Vishal Aditya Singh, a former contestant, says, “I can’t talk about this, it is very painful.” Devoleena Bhattachar­jee, too, is unable to digest this developeme­nt. “I just cannot say anything at this moment,” she says.

Madhurima Tuli calls him an “amazing guy”. “We had this fun banter between us, I am going to cherish that forever.” RISHABH SURI
