"Whenever it strikes my mind that he is not with us anymore, I feel extremely sorry and upset," Devoleena said and added, "He was a gentleman. In the show, we fought but also remained cordial. Outside of the show, we had been really good friends. I smile at times, thinking about how he used to pull my leg, flirt with me, and sing for me in that house. He took care of me when I got injured in the show.”

Talking about Sidharth's sprawling fan base which continues to shower love on the actor, Devoleena added, "I feel that is the real success. Not everyone gets this success. I hope Sidharth is at peace, wherever he is.”

Meanwhile, the late star's family including his mother Rita Shukla and sisters got together for a prayer meeting with the Brahma Kumaris. The viral pictures from the meet show the family distributing Prasad, bhog to the attendees while praying for the late star.
