Sidharth Shukla’s rise to fame was a testament to his unwavering hard work, dedication, and resilience. He became a household name with his memorable role in Balika Vadhu, particularly his iconic entrance on horseback. His appearance on Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 6 may have showcased average dancing skills, but he still caught the eye of Judge Karan Johar, who offered him a role in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, alongside Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan.
Sidharth’s sudden passing in 2021 left a void in the entertainment world, but his legacy continues to inspire aspiring actors. On his 43rd birthday, let’s reflect on how he stood up to trollers questioning his relationship with Shehnaaz Gill.
When Sidharth fought back with trollers
In 2021, Sidharth Shukla responded to online criticism with a tweet that read, “Life’s too short to worry about what others say or think about you… just enjoy life… have fun… and give them something to talk about.”

Both Sidharth and Shehnaaz Gill have countless fan pages dedicated to them across various platforms, often sparring over who is “better,” with some pages supporting both stars equally.
When a Twitter user criticised Sidharth’s positive outlook, saying, “This is the reason I don’t support this man, he always encourages negative people,” Sidharth replied, “Then plz (please) don’t, no one asked for your support… why even come here???”
Please don’t sound holier than thou as that goes both ways …. I wonder why you’ll do that …. as regardless of your fights me and @ishehnaaz_gill are cool we have no issues… so you’ll can go ahead and keep entertaining yourselves

When another fan suggested ignoring the negativity, Sidharth responded, “Who said I am not happy… Jawab dene ka tarika bahut matter karta hai.” He also addressed the rumours surrounding his bond with Shehnaaz, affirming that despite the online drama, “we are cool” and have no issues.
Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill
Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill first crossed paths during their time on Bigg Boss 13, where they quickly formed a strong bond that continued even after the show ended. The duo collaborated on several music videos, including Neha and Tony Kakkar’s Shona Shona, Darshan Rawal and Neha Kakkar’s Bhula Dena, and Dil Ko Karaar Aaya.
While Sidharth was working on his web series Broken But Beautiful 3 with ALTBalaji, Shehnaaz was set to star alongside Punjabi actor Diljit Dosanjh in Honsla Rakh. Their friendship on Bigg Boss 13 was one of the most beloved aspects of the show, winning over fans with their playful interactions and undeniable chemistry. Tragically, Sidharth’s sudden death in September 2021 deeply impacted both Shehnaaz and his fans.
