SHOCKING! BIGG BOSS WINNER AND YOUNG ACTOR SIDHARTH SHUKLA PASSES AWAY! - DEETS

Shukla began his career in showbiz as a model and made his acting debut with a lead role in the television show 'Babul Ka Aangann Chootey Na'. He later appeared on shows such as 'Jaane Pehchaane Se… Ye Ajnabbi', 'Love U Zindagi' but became a household name with the long-running TV show 'Balika Vadhu'.

The show was a runaway success and dominated TV ratings for years. The serial was dubbed in many languages, it was called Mann Vasanai in Tamil and Chinnari Pellikuthuru in Telugu. It was only a few weeks back that another 'Balika Vadhu' actress Surekha Sikri passed away after a prolonged illness.

In 2014, Shukla made his Bollywood debut with the Karan Johar-produced 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania' where he had a supporting role.

Fans and celebrities who were devastated with his loss, took to social media to share their memories with him. They condoled the demise of the popular actor and noted that this was an "unbelievable news" and came as a "total shock".
