Sidharth Shukla was known for his small-screen appearances, but his popularity wasn’t lost among his silver screen co-stars Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt who worked together in 2014’s Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania.
Sidharth Shukla died on Thursday morning after suffering a massive heart attack. He was rushed to Cooper Hospital of the city but was declared dead on arrival. In a statement, a senior doctor of the hospital told a leading daily, “Initial report indicates that he died of a heart attack. We, however, won’t be able to confirm the cause of his death until we complete the post mortem.
Taking to Instagram Stories, Alia Bhatt shared a monochrome photograph featuring herself along with Varun and Sidharth. The actress captioned it, “Sid. One of the warmest, kindest, and most genuine people I’ve worked with… always smiling and always positive! My heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and his fans who loved him so so deeply! Rest in peace!” Adding a folded hands emoji.
Varun took to Instagram post and shared a picture of him, Sidharth, and Alia. He wrote, “Rip brother u are loved by so many and u touched so many with ur kind heart and beautiful personality. Today heaven has gained a star and we have lost one. My deepest condolences to the family and loved ones.”
Previously, in a press meet ahead of their film’s release, Varun Dhawan had spoken about Sidharth’s popularity. He said in Hindi, at a press meet, “In Borivali, we were shooting… First, there were a couple of aunties, and I didn’t pay much attention thinking there was a kids’ market nearby. Then some school kids came calling Sidharth’s name, that’s when I realized there’s going to be a problem.”
