It’s been three years since the sudden and tragic passing of Siddharth Shukla, a beloved actor who left an indelible mark on the hearts of his fans, friends, and family. Siddharth passed away on September 2, 2021, due to a heart attack, but his memories continue to live on.
Recently, comedian Bharti Singh, who shared a close bond with Siddharth, opened up about her last meeting with him. Bharti, known for her humor and vivacity, shared how deeply Siddharth’s death affected her, especially since she had met him just a week before the tragic event.
A Chance Meeting Before the Tragedy
Bharti recalled that she bumped into Siddharth and his mother in Lokhandwala just a week before he passed away. She fondly remembered how Siddharth introduced her to his mother, and they all chatted for a while. At that time, Bharti was in the early stages of her pregnancy but didn’t share the news with Siddharth. She later regretted not telling him, feeling that it wasn’t the right moment to bring it up.
The Shock and Regret
Reflecting on the news of Siddharth’s sudden demise, Bharti shared how she was left in a state of shock. The news hit her so hard that she felt a physical pain in her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe. Given her pregnancy, doctors advised her to avoid any stress and not to attend Siddharth’s funeral, adding to the emotional burden she was already carrying.
Memories from the Sets of “India’s Got Talent”
Bharti and Siddharth had worked together on the show “India’s Got Talent,” where they formed a strong friendship. She reminisced about the fun they had on the set, especially how Siddharth would tease her. Bharti shared that Siddharth had a mischievous side—he would often retreat to his vanity van and stay there, making her wait. Despite her initial annoyance, Siddharth’s infectious humor would always make her laugh, erasing any frustration she felt.
A Special Video Call Episode
Bharti and her husband Harsh Limbachiyaa had a special memory with Siddharth during the lockdown. They had launched a show called “Hum Tum Aur Quarantine” and shared it with Siddharth, who enjoyed it. They convinced him to shoot an episode with them over a video call. Since the video was too large to send online, Siddharth drove to their house, even amid the lockdown, to hand-deliver the video. This gesture showcased the kind of person Siddharth was—dedicated, thoughtful, and caring.
These memories of Siddharth Shukla, as shared by Bharti Singh, highlight the warmth and camaraderie they shared. Despite the passage of time, the impact of his loss continues to resonate with those who knew and loved him.
