Rajev rules out foul play in Siddhaanth’s death
RAJEV PAUL,
Actor Rajev Paul is yet to come to terms with the death of his best friend, actor Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi. “I’m still processing it. There are too many memories, I have lost a brother,” he says.
Surryavanshi collapsed in a gym in Mumbai on Friday. However, Paul is upset at the speculations doing the rounds on the cause of his death. He asserts, “There’s no foul play. Every time I surf the internet, I see people speculating. The same happened with Sidharth Shukla (actor), too. It’s unfair to the families. Anand (nickname of Surryavanshi) was my family. I knew him more than anybody else.”
Soon after the news of his death broke, director Vivek
Ranjan Agnihotri had tweeted, “This so tragic & sad. The mad rush to build aggressive body, without any medical advise is so dangerous. HyperGymming is a relatively new phenomenon which got mad impetus due to Instagram. It needs to be regulated for sure. Society needs to rethink...(sic)”
Is it excessive workout, then, that led to
Surryavanshi’s death? Paul says, “He was fitter than all of us put together. He has told half the industry what to eat and what not to eat. I saw Vivek’s tweet. I don’t know how well he knew him. Anand was genuinely very careful of his diet. There was no foul play in his death. I can speak officially on his behalf as I was close to everyone in his family. His daughter is my god child. Maybe, it was just his time.”
