Bigg Boss 13 winner Sidharth Shukla was one of the most popular and loved actors in the television industry. His sudden demise last year left everyone heartbroken and numb. He breathed his last on September 2 of a massive heart attack at his Mumbai home. His fans, friends, and family members are still struggling to come to terms with his tragic death. On Tuesday evening, Sidharth’s family has released a statement where they have requested everyone to respect his consent and to consult with them before releasing any project.
The statement read, “To all of Sidharth’s well wishers. We, as a family, come with a request, which we hope everyone will respect. Sidharth has moved on and no longer can he make decisions for himself, but he's still an integral part of our lives and our memories and we are there to protect his wishes. We request everyone who wants to use Sidharth's name and/or face in any project, please reach out to us. Please take a moment to ask us.”
It added, “We knew Sidharth's choices, we knew what he would have wanted and our decisions for him would be keeping all this in mind. And if there were projects that he wasn't happy with, we are sure he wouldn't want them released. Anything that did not release when he was with us, did not have his consent or intent for release. So please let’s keep his wishes in mind and let's remember him with love, with respect, with fond memories, the ones he left us with.....”
Reportedly, the family's statement comes after Bigg Boss 15 contestant Vishal Kotian decides to release a song against the family's wishes. According to a report in Times of India, Sidharth had shot for this song before Bigg Boss 13, three years ago. But it was left incomplete apparently because Sidharth wasn't happy with the shoot and he never wanted it out. The family doesn't want the song to be released as it was Sidharth's wish too. But, Vishal and the music label have deiced to release the song. ALSO READ: Shehnaaz Gill REVEALS She Had 'Lost Her Desire To Live' After The Demise Of Sidharth Shukla
