Sidharth Shukla started participating in modeling contests during his college days and fared extremely well in the glamour world. He was announced as the runner-up.

He then stepped into showbiz with daily soap, 'Babul Ka Aangann Chootey Na,' became a household name as Shiv in 'Balika Vadhu' and then there was no looking back for him. In 2017, he appeared as Parth Bhanushali in Dil Se Dil Tak with co-stars Rashami Desai and Jasmin Bhasin. The show was a major hit owing to crackling on-screen chemistry.

Sidharth Shukla was a part of Karan Johar’s Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, which starred Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan. Sidharth played Alia’s fiancé in the film. The film got him debut actor award as well.

Sidharth Shukla was born to win. He participated in the adventure reality show, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 6 (2016), hosted by Arjun Kapoor and won the game. Later, he hosted the reality show, India's Got Talent with Bharti Singh, and then Bigg Boss 13 happened to him.

Despite being a renowned face in the entertainment industry, it was the reality show, Bigg Boss 13 that changed the graph of his career. It sky-rocketed and is still aiming beyond the skies despite his non-physical presence. Sidharth was as real as he could be inside the house and played fair with everyone as a one-man army.

Sidharth Shukla became the producers' favourite post his BB13 win and first choice for music videos. He started to be called on reality shows as guests to impart his wisdom and give his Midas touch. He also topped the list of Times Most Desirable Men on TV 2020 and was declared as Times Of India’s Charismatic TV Personality.

Sidharth made his OTT debut as Agastya Rao in the third season of Ekta Kapoor’s romance web series Broken But Beautiful opposite Sonia Rathee. His broken and jilted lover’s act was loved and appreciated by critics and fans alike.

Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill’s names were and still are inseparable. The couple did several music videos together like ‘Bhula Dunga’, ‘Habit’ and ‘Shona Shona’.
