Sidharth Shukla’s death left his fans and colleagues under shocked. Model-rapper Asim Riaz, who was with the late actor in Bigg Boss 13, was among the first few who reached the Cooper Hospital in Mumbai, where Sidharth’s body was taken for postmortem. Bigg Boss 13 was one of the most successful seasons and we all have witnessed the rivalry between the two. While Sidharth took the trophy home, Azim was the first runner-up of the show.
Ever since the death of Sidharth, Azim has always put a leg forward to talk about their bond. Though they had a frosty relationship on the show, later both became good friends. In a recent interview, the model and singer said that he saw Sidharth in his dreams. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Asim said, “He came in my
dream bro, I swear. I knew it before (it happened). I had a call from one of my cousins, Ruhaan called me up, usne mujhe bola bhai news on karna (He asked me to switch on the news), he didn’t tell me because he knows how emotional and how sensitive I am.”
“I have spent 140 days with him in that house and I was really connected because I had no friend outside and aisa connection kisi se hua hi nahi kabhi bhai, matlab ladna toh 4-4 din, hasna toh 4-4 din (I have never had such a connection where we fought for 4 days continuously and then laughed continuously for 4 days),” he added. On the work front, the 29-year-old has made his debut as a musical artiste releasing a rap single. He is rumoured to be one of the contestants of the second season of reality show Lock Upp.
