Actor Sidharth Shukla breathed his last on September 2. The actor who won Bigg Boss 13 suffered a massive cardiac arrest on Wednesday. The news comes as a shocker as it was only last month that the 40-year-old actor appeared on reality shows like Bigg Boss OTT and Dance Deewane. Going back to his social media accounts, Sidharth Shukla’s last posts are gratifying notes for doctors and Paralympic winners.
Sharing a picture of himself on Instagram, the actor thanked frontline workers along with a heartfelt note. “To all the frontline warriors, a thank you from the heart! You risk your lives, work for countless hours, and comfort patients who couldn’t be with their families. You truly are the bravest! Being on the frontline surely isn’t easy, but we really appreciate your efforts. #MumbaiDiariesOnPrime is an ode to these superheroes in white capes, the nursing staff and their countless sacrifices. Trailer out on 25th August. #TheHeroesWeOwe,” he wrote on Instagram.
Indians making us proud over and over again… a World Record in addition to the #Gold in #Paralympics … congratulations #SumitAntil and #AvaniLekhara
