The news of former Bigg Boss 13 winner, Sidharth Shukla, untimely demise has shaken the Indian entertainment industry to the core. The 40-year-old popular TV star passed away on Thursday morning after suffering from a heart attack. Mumbai's Cooper hospital confirmed the news.

On Friday, his last rites are underway as Sidharth's mother Rita Shukla and rumoured girlfriend Shehnaaz Gill arrive at the crematorium in the city.

Shehnaaz was stormed by flashing cameras and shocking questions by the awaiting paparazzi. As she tried to get to the crematorium, she was pushed and shoved around by the journalists, starved to capture her inconsolable state. Several pictures and videos of the same are now viral on social media. Shukla's mother wasn't treated any better. Rita, like Shehnaaz, wasn't given a chance to grieve the passing of her son as she struggled to break free from the wild crowd.

Many celebrities including Varun Dhawan, Gauahar Khan and Maniesh Paul reached the late actor’s residence on Thursday evening to pay their last respects. Others who were spotted by photographers at Sidharth’s residence were his Bigg Boss co-contestants Shefali Jariwala, Arti Singh, Sambhavana Seth and Rahul Mahajan.
