In a throwback interview with The Humans of Bombay, Sidharth Shukla talked about the one woman in his life, who meant the world to him, and it was none other than his mother, Rita Shukla. Revealing how people thought him to be a tough guy, but in reality, it was quite different, Sidharth had said:
"People know me as a man with a rough exterior. But I’ll always melt for my mom. Right from the time I was born, she’s been the most important person in my life. I was the youngest of 3 kids & 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!"
September 2 is definitely an emotional day for Sidharth’s fans, who have kept him alive in their hearts!
