New Delhi: Sidharth Shukla's fans have still not got over their beloved actor's death. The actor died of a suspected heart attack at the age of 40. This unfortunate incident left his fans mourning for his death while his mother Rita Shukla maintained her composure. Sidharth's 'best friend' Vidyut Jammwal recently spoke about Sidharth's mother in an interaction.

Vidyut, currently promoting his upcoming release 'IB71' opened up about how Sidharth's mother's words upon her son's death have stayed with him and have left an impact on him for a lifetime. He shared that while everyone was crying over his demise, his mother was meeting everyone who came to console her son's death with love.

In a podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia, Vidyut shared, "Sidharth Shukla was my best friend. I met his mom after his death and she said a wonderful thing which has stayed with me. I told her, ‘Aunty aap kamaal kar rahi hain (Aunty, you are doing great). I love the way you are conducting yourself. You are meeting everyone with so much love, I am very happy’.”

"Vidyut, everyone is crying over Sidharth’s death, I don’t want to be a part of them. Sab ro rahe hain, kisi ko toh pyaar dena padega (Everyone is crying, someone has to give love), so I am giving that.” Her words “changed something” in Vidyut. Now, Vidyut Jammwal believes that we should not mourn the death of a dear one, people should not mourn as the person might be in a better place. 

Vidyut said, “Jo chala gaya usko bhi toh lag raha hai ki sab ro kyun rahe ho (The one who has died must be wondering why is everyone crying). I am in a good place, celebrate.”

Sidharth Shukla became a household name after playing the male lead in Colors TV's show 'Balika Vadhu'. In 2013, he also appeared on 'Bigg Boss 13' and became the winner of the show. It was during the show that he met Shehnaaz Gill and the two became popularly known as 'Sidnaaz'. 

Sidharth also acted in films like 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya', which featured Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles.
