Sidharth Shukla’s sudden death has sent shockwaves in the entertainm­ent industry, Mourning the most are his friends and admirers, Vindu Dara Singh being one of them. “I was very close to him and I call myself a ‘SidHeart’ for life. And like many of his fans and admirers I also consider myself to be part of the ‘SidHearts’ Army. That is such a huge family and now it is like ‘SidHeart’ ke hearts are gone. And now he is gone and he has left behind this huge family which is in absolute shock,” Singh shares.

Both Singh and Shukla won different seasons of the reality TV show Bigg Boss. Singh has been an ardent supporter of Shukla during the latter’s stint on the show and the two became friends post it.

“This is not the age to go. He was only 40.

Woh itna achhaa kaam kar raha tha and he just started his second innings and he was loved so much now. He got to the pinnacle of success in these recent years and he was on top of the world, then this happens. When you are on top and this happens, aisa lagta hai ki waakai nazar lag jaati hai,” he laments.

Singh adds Shukla and he may not have been the best of friends but they were always there for each other. “There is a big, big void which won’t be filled in my life. Samajh hi nahi aa raha. He will forever be in my heart and he will forever be alive in the hearts of those that love him,” he says.

He wishes that the late actor’s family finds strength to cope with this situation, especially Shukla’s mother.

“This is a huge loss. Aaj kal sab ulta hi chal raha hai. Bachhe maa baap se pehle ja rahe hai. This is not fair for those who are left behind in his family. He was loved and will be missed by everybody,” he concludes.
