Sidharth was very close to his mother Rita. We could see a glimpse of their beautiful bond when Rita Maa entered the Bigg Boss house during a family episode and they both were in tears seeing each other after months. In an old interview, the late actor had said that his mother was the most important person in his life. Sidharth said, “I was the youngest of 3 kids and too small to play with my sisters, so I was always around mom. Back when I was a toddler, I’d cry if I had to go a second without her–so even while making rotis, she’d hold me in one hand & the roller in another! As I grew older, she became my best friend.”

For the unversed, Sidharth, 40, died of a heart attack on September 2, 2021. He was rushed to Mumbai's Cooper Hospital where doctors declared him brought dead.
