The death of Sidharth Shukla on September 2 came as a big shock to all of us. Shehnaaz Gill's situation could not be imagined, and all of his admirers and friends were heartbroken. She was Sidharth's closest friend. When Sidharth died, all of his ‘Bigg Boss 13’ co-contestants were present at his home and at the Oshiwara crematorium. Devoleena Bhattacharjee recently spoke with ETimes about how distressed she was when she learned of the actor's unexpected death.
All of these events have shattered her, and she has lost faith in herself after hearing these news. She also believes that because life is brief, one should not hold grudges. Devoleena stated that she has grown as a person and that it was Sidharth's Brahmakumaris prayer meet that transformed her perspective on life. She stated that Sidharth's death hurt her heart, but she was moved when she heard the Brahmakumaris speak about Sidharth at the prayer meet organised for him.
She said, "They said that soul is always there and it's only the body that leaves us. And if you release it happily when he is born somewhere else, he will comeback happily. That's the reason I pray for Sidharth's soul. Main chahati hoon woh acche se wapas aaye. My deepest condolences to aunty."
Devoleena saw Sidharth's mother and Shehnaaz Gill after his death and said that his mother is strong, while Shehnaaz Gill would take time to come to terms with the loss, but that she hopes Shehnaaz now lives up to the dreams Sidharth had for her.
Devoleena added, "All my love to Shehnaaz. I am sure and I know it is not easy to come out of such a tragic incident and she will take some time to be normal. I just wish that she fulfills all those dreams that Sidharth saw for her. I really wish her luck and lots of love. When I went to meet her on the first day, I spoke to her. But it is not the right time to speak to her. It was a very difficult situation for Shehnaaz and how much ever someone talks to her nobody can take away her pain."
