Amidst the controversy over the behavior of late actor Siddharth Shukla, an old story of his generosity is in the news. Shankar Banerjee, father of late actress Pratyusha Banerjee, told that Siddharth treated him like his parents. Due to the rumors spread after Pratyusha’s death, Siddharth had reduced his visits to her house, but he always remained in touch. Siddharth not only inquired about his well-being during the lockdown, but also forcefully sent him a help of Rs 20,000 despite his refusal.

Actress Vaishnavi MacDonald has started a new debate by raising questions on Siddharth’s behaviour.
New Delhi: Late actor Siddharth Shukla is once again in the headlines. Recently, his ‘Dil Se Dil Tak’ co-star Vaishnavi McDonald made some allegations regarding his behavior on the set, which has sparked a debate on social media. While on one hand questions are being raised about his temperament, on the other hand old stories of his generosity are also going viral. Meanwhile, an old interview of late actress Pratyusha Banerjee’s father Shankar Banerjee has come into discussion. He had told that he considered Siddharth exactly like his son. Siddharth and Pratyusha’s bonding was very strong since the time of ‘Balika Vadhu’, but after Pratyusha’s sudden death in 2016, many rumors started floating about her name with Siddharth, which also affected their relationship.
Heart attack at the age of 40
Siddharth Shukla’s career started from modeling and reached the victory of ‘Bigg Boss 13’, where he became famous in every household. He won shows like ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ and also made his mark in films. His sudden demise due to a heart attack on 2 September 2021 at the age of just 40 had stunned the entire industry. Even today, after years, two different opinions are seen regarding Siddharth’s personality. One is those who talk about his anger and the other are those who, like Pratyusha’s father, give examples of his selfless service and loyalty. Even after his death, all the memories related to him show how complex and interesting his life was.
