In a few days, it will be a month since the dynamic actor Sidharth Shukla died. The news of his untimely death on September 2, 2021, stunned everyone. In an interview with Pinkvilla, ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ participant Raqesh Bapat claimed that he was shocked, along with the rest of the contestants, when they learned about Sidharth's death. The actor learned of the tragic news on the final day of the reality show.
"We learned of Sidharth Shukla's untimely demise on the last day of our stay in the Bigg Boss house and we were in a state of disbelief," said the actor. He feels after this incident it made him think that life is unpredictable and people should stop emitting hatred; also he feels spreading kindness is of utmost importance.
He added, “We all in the house just recollected all the fights, unnecessary arguments and thought it over! Why were we all fighting?! Why was all the chaos about?! Life is so unpredictable and nobody knows what's kept in store for all of us.
He further added that it is apt to treat the current day as very important and be nice to one another. The actor said, “Today is so important and we would rather be nice instead of indulging in fights, mudslinging, etc."
All of their conflicts and disputes in trying to win the 'Bigg Boss OTT' trophy, he believes, were superfluous. He said, “We all somehow we're on the same page and felt that just to win a trophy, all the fights, arguments, the negativity that took place was so unnecessary, it all suddenly felt flat,”
He also said, “It's just important to be nice and live in the present, live in today. I felt bad, sad and was angry too for all the fights and arguments that happened in the house. Sidharth's demise made me realize that how we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow and hence all the chaos, hatred is not needed and rather we just need to spread happiness, for nobody knows what life has planned for them. It's time everybody stops being envious. Is all of the mess even worth it?!”
