The last few days have been quite difficult for the Indian entertainment industry ever since Sidharth Shukla passed away. He was only 40 when he breathed his last and media reports suggest that he passed away due to cardiac arrest. His funeral was a really heartbreaking sight for one and all and we are in tears to see the bereaved family.

A few days since the tragic death, the family have issued a statement and as per NDTV Movies, it reads,

“Heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of Sidharth’s journey and showered him with unconditional love. It definitely doesn’t end here as he now resides in our hearts forever. Sidharth valued his privacy, hence we request you to allow our family the privacy to grieve.

“A special Thank You to the Mumbai Police force for their sensitivity and compassion. They have been like a shield, protecting us and standing by us every minute of the day. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Om Shanti -The Shukla Family.”
