Sidharth Shukla's Throwback Interview Talking About The One Woman, Who Meant Everything To Him

The morning of September 2, 2021, brought the biggest shock for Sidharth Shukla's fans as their favourite actor bid adieu to the world. From news portals to social media, everywhere the saddening news of Siddharth's untimely death made the rounds. His friends, colleagues and fans refuse to believe the news initially, calling it fake but reality struck quite hard on them.

Born in a Hindu family on December 12, 1980, Sidharth Shukla had lost his father during his modelling days. In 2005, he represented India at the World's Best Model contest and had become the first Indian and the first Asian to win the title. Although Sidharth had made his television debut in 2008, with the show, Babul Ka Aangann Chootey Na, his breakthrough performance came with the show, Balika Vadhu. He had also emerged as the winner of reality shows like Bigg Boss 13 and Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 7.

In a throwback interview with The Humans of Bombay, Sidharth Shukla had 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!"

Sidharth had further revealed that even after childhood, his mother always remained his best friend. Speaking about the same, he had continued, "As I grew older, she became my best friend! Every time I came back home after playing, we’d talk about everything under the sun–while other kids were hiding things from their parents, I wanted to tell her all about my life! She’s taught me so much too–I was a naughty kid who’d get away with trouble. But when mom told me to always be honest, I immediately owned up to my mistakes."

Praising how his mom sacrificed a lot when his father passed away, Sidharth had retorted, "When dad passed away 15 years ago, it felt like the umbrella over us had been taken away. But my mom was our rock–she never showed any signs of vulnerability. Despite our poor finances, she ran the house, looked after 3 kids & fulfilled all our demands! I know now that she must’ve had to sacrifice so much to give us what we wanted."

It was Sidharth's mother, who had helped him realise his passion for acting and modelling. Revealing how she had sent him to a modelling contest to put him in his place, Sidharth had added, "She even played a pivotal role in helping me find my passion. I used to act like the ‘cool guy’–so to ‘teach me a lesson’, she sent me for a modeling contest thinking I’d be put in my place! Funnily enough, I actually won! So, even on a subconscious level, she’s been a guiding force in my life."

The actor also revealed that staying away from his mother for three months during his stay in the Bigg Boss house was the toughest thing for him. In his words, "Recently, I was on Big Boss & for the first time, I didn’t speak to her for months. I know it doesn’t sound too cool to say it at 39–but being away from her was the toughest part of the show. So, when I received a letter from her on set, I sat & read it in her voice–it felt like she was right next to me & that letter was a piece of her. Every time she tells me she’s proud of me, I feel like the happiest man on earth, because I was able to put a smile on her face; a woman who means everything to me. Even today, she’s my anchor & never fails to give me her daily dose of advice–when I finally saw her on set after 3 long months, the first thing she told me was to stop wearing shorts all the time & to put on a pair of jeans!”
