On Thursday, Sidharth was rushed to the Cooper hospital in Mumbai at around 11 am but was declared dead on arrival. He is survived by his mother, Rita Shukla, and two sisters.

Jaan Kumar Sanu took to Twitter to remember Sidharth, whom he called his ‘elder brother and a role model’. He also revealed that they met last week.

“I can’t believe the news. I don’t want to believe it. I met you a week ago. Thank you for the memories Sid. You were an elder brother and a role model. RIP King #SiddharthShukla,” he tweeted.

Jaan was a contestant on Bigg Boss 14, on which Sidharth appeared as a ‘senior’ along with Hina Khan and Gauahar Khan. During a virtual press conference for the show, Sidharth had given Jaan some advice on how to survive: “You need to be yourself, be real, stand for anything you feel is right and you need to voice yourself.”
