Bigg Boss 13's Tehseen Poonawala remembers Sidharth Shukla, will reach Mumbai to attend the funeral tomorrow

Bigg Boss 13's contestant Tehseen Poonwala, who was inside the house with Sidharth Shukla, remembered his late friend from the show and said the two were in touch during the lockdown too.
Tehseen Poonawala spoke exclusively to ETimes TV and said: "When I entered Bigg Boss, Siddharth Shukla was the second person I met in the Bigg Boss house. He told me that he had seen me on a news channel and that his mother was my big fan and we shared the same bed in the house in the week that I was in the house.Generally people from the film industry are not well versed with current affairs but he was very well versed in fact Bigg Boss warned both of us as all we talked about was current affairs which was not allowed in the house."
Tehseen, who resides in Delhi and is currently in Pune for work, will be reaching Mumbai to attend the funeral tomorrow.
"After I came out of the house I was rooting for him to win the trophy and we were in touch after the show also especially during the lockdown. It feels sad that I have lost a friend. I have flown down from Delhi and am in Pune at the moment and will be coming for the funeral tomorrow," said Tehseen.
"A lot of people are talking about he was overdoing the fitness bit to which he said we tend to relate heart attack to fitness while fitness is an important part, major cause of heart attack is your genes and second cause could be build up of calcium chlorostroel and a fit person could get a cardiac arrest or heart attack. Cardiac arrest is separate from a heart attack, there are many underlying causes for a heart attack. One advice that people take from Siddharth's demise is get a cardiac test done and scans done that is the only precaution. I have also spoken to officials in Mumbai and any help the family requires which has to be given to me through his friends has been looked into," he further added.
Sidharth Shukla died of a heart attack at the age of 40. Sidharth gained fame after playing the role of Shiv in Balika Vadhu and then in 2020 he went on to win the biggest reality TV show Bigg Boss 13.
