Shehnaaz Gill, the rumoured girlfriend of Bigg Boss 13 winner and prominent TV actor Sidharth Shukla, was the one with the actor during his last moments on Thursday morning, September 2. Despite Shehnaaz hiding for the majority on Thursday to avoid the media spotlight following Sidharth's death, the police were able to record her statement. As per a PeepingMoon exclusive, she said that his head was on her lap and she tried to wake him. 

Sidharth Shukla was discovered in the morning by Shehnaaz Gill

Sidharth was like Shehnaaz's family in Mumbai for Shehnaaz, who is from Punjab. After competing in Bigg Boss 13 alongside Sidharth, the two became inseparable. Shehnaaz told the cops that she tried everything she could to wake Sidharth up. She said that his chin rested on her lap but his body, however, had turned frigid. Shehnaaz realised he was passed away by that point. This was before they reached Cooper Hospital.

Sidharth Shukla's funeral 

The actor's remains will soon be handed over to his family and transported to his Mumbai home in Oshiwara. His funeral is scheduled to take place around 1 pm on Friday. Rahul Mahajan visited Shehnaaz Gill, Sidharth's rumoured girlfriend, at the late actor's home, where she was giving a police testimony.
