Beyond Shocked: Siddharth Shukla’s Industry Friends Express Disbelief At His Sudden Demise

September 2, this day will haunt us for years to come. Sidharth Shukla is no more and just writing about this feels so unreal. Earlier today, the Balika Vadhu actor was taken to senior Cooper Hospital after suffering from a cardiac arrest, where he was later declared dead. “He was brought dead to the hospital some time ago,” shared a senior Cooper Hospital official. It feels like a personal loss. It was just a couple of weeks ago that we saw him on Bigg Boss OTT. There is just so much that all of us are going through at the moment and there are just so many emotions to process.

Is it actually happening? Are we all in a really bad dream? We aren’t sure. The only thing we can say with absolute certainty is that it’s true and this will take forever to sink in. The ever-so-young and charming Sidharth has passed away at 40. He is survived by his mom and two sisters and our heart goes out to the family. The entertainment industry is equally shocked and his friends and acquaintances have been expressing their disbelief, sharing their condolences on social media. Here’s what they have written:
