Sidharth Shukla fans react to Jeena Zaroori Hai

A section of Twitter has lashed out at the makers of Jeena Zaroori Hai'for using the late actor's name for garnering views. It was in January 2022, when Sidharth Shukla's family released an official statement requesting makers to not release any project of the star without their consent.

The statement read, "We, as a family, come with a request, which we hope everyone will respect. Sidharth has moved on and no longer can he make decisions for himself, but he’s still an integral part of our lives and our memories and we are there to protect his wishes. We request everyone who wants to use Sidharth’s name and/or face in any project, please reach out to us"

It further added, "Please take a moment to ask us. We knew Sidharth’s choices, we knew what he would have wanted and our decisions for him would be keeping all this in mind. And if there are projects that he wasn’t happy with, we are sure he wouldn’t want them released. Anything that did not release when he was with us, did not have his consent or intent for release. So please let’s keep his wishes in mind and let’s remember him with love, with respect, with fond memories, the ones he left us with. From, The Shukla Family". The statement was shared by Shehnaaz Gill on her Instagram story as well.
