SidNaaz wasn't just a moniker but an emotion that was experienced by fans of Bigg Boss 13's Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill. We all were waiting for that one announcement from them that made Sidharth and Shehnaaz's relationship official. Unfortunately, this wish will never be fulfilled. Sidharth, 40, succumbed to a massive cardiac arrest on Wednesday night when he was in his sleep. Shehnaaz, who was apparently with Sidharth last night, found him unconscious in his bedroom and raised an alarm.
Despite multiple attempts to revive him, Shehnaaz's efforts were futile as Sidharth had already breathed his last. He was immediately taken to the Cooper Hospital in Mumbai where the doctors pronounced him dead. This news has come across as a major shock to the entire entertainment industry. Majorly, SidNaazians, who idolised the couple, and crossed all boundaries of fandom for the sake of their beloved stars and to make them feel extra special.
This is because Sidharth and Shehnaaz's chemistry and equation with each other was nothing like what was seen before in reality shows. One was innocent, bubbly and child-like whereas the other one was mature, smart and understanding. Though Sidharth and Shehnaaz entered Bigg Boss 13 as strangers in 2019, they came out as 'best friends' after the show ended. Those 3-4 months inside the house were enough for Shehnaaz to realise that she can't get a better life partner than Sidharth. As they say-Opposites Attract- Cupid played its part at the right time for the bubbly actress.
Outside the Bigg Boss 13 house, Sidharth often maintained that Shehnaaz is his 'best friend'. In fact, thanks to SidNaaz's demand among fans, they teamed up for three music videos. Out of them, two were released. One of them was titled Bhula Dunga and the other one was Shona Shona. A song titled Habit is yet to be released. Rumours were afloat that Sidharth and Shehnaaz were teaming up for a web series. However, the buzz was unfortunately untrue.
Shehnaaz and Sidharth were single before Bigg Boss 13. After that, it seemed that they filled empty spaces in each other's lives with their presence. In fact, Shehnaaz shared a great equation with Sidharth's mother, Rita Shukla, and the actor bonded well with the actress's brother and parents. On Shehnaaz's 27th birthday in January this year, Sidharth hosted a party for her at a bungalow and was also seen pushing her into a pool. In a recent interview, Shehnaaz went on to address Sidharth as family and said, "The only secret behind why SidNaaz is still a thing is because it is genuine. We shared a pure relationship. I think people connect to that. The way he adored and showered love on me, I really felt nice about it. We both had same sort of feelings for each other. It was very cute. I myself will agree that my relationship with him is different."
Their first new year together was celebrated in Goa. Shehnaaz, who had expressed her feelings for Sidharth, had in fact kept a photoshopped picture with Sidharth as her phone's wallpaper. In the picture, Shehnaaz and Sidharth are twinning in black.
From doing Instagram live sessions to teaming up for ad films, SidNaaz did everything that made fans go 'aww'. Little did Sidharth know that his last TV appearance would be with Shehnaaz. The two graced Bigg Boss OTT on August 15, (first Sunday Ka Vaar) and interacted with host Karan Johar and the contestants. Pictures and videos from the set sent fans into a meltdown. A day later, they shot for a Love Special episode of Dance Deewane 3.
In a statement, Sidharth had opened up about going to Bigg Boss OTT with Shehnaaz and how his Bigg Boss 13 journey would have been incomplete with her. He had said, "It (Bigg Boss) has given me back my identity and the audiences got to know the real Siddharth through this show. My 'Bigg Boss' journey wouldn't have been the way it was without Shehnaaz and everyone who has supported me wholeheartedly."
