Shehnaaz Gill on Sidharth Shukla's death

The actor, who has been busy promoting her release, Ikk Kudi, was present in the latest episode of Ranveer Allabhadia's podcast, where she discussed her Bigg Boss journey and how Sidharth Shukla's demise changed her.

When told that she was the ‘soul' of Bigg Boss 13, Shehnaaz said, "Many a times I get to see reels of Bigg Boss 13, and I think, what have I become! Was I really like this? Now I have changed, changed a lot, and I have learnt a lot from life. Earlier, I was just a bindaas (carefree) girl; I would say what came to my mind, and now I have started to think. I think how happy this girl was. She was so happy and would react just as it is. That was a different person altogether."

Talking about Sidharth, Shehnaaz said, "Mujhe maturity deke gaya he woh banda! Jab wo sab kuch hua, uske baad mein mature hui hoon. Nahi toh main wahi rehti Bigg Boss mein hi wahi hoon kisi duniya ki parvaah nahi kuch nahi (He taught me maturity. After all that happened, I became mature. Otherwise, I would have remained the same girl who was in Bigg Boss - one who did not care about anything else)."

For those unversed, Sidharth died on September 2, 2021, after suffering a cardiac arrest. He was 40. After Sidharth's death, Shehnaaz released a heartfelt music video tribute titled Tu Yaheen Hai.
