Aarti Singh who has also been a part of the show Bigg Boss 13, speaks on how she regrets not being in touch with the Bigg Boss 13 winner, Siddharth Shukla, who died of a severe cardiac arrest this year, at the age of 40. She said that because she used to get blamed for coming between Shehnaaz and Siddharth’s friendship, she decided to just ‘let them be’ move on with her life.

She said, revealing why she wasn’t in touch with Shukla, “I wasn’t in touch with Sidharth for almost two years. The last time we spoke was on February 15, 2019. Hamaari baat hi nahi hui. I was quite affected by what was being said about my friendship with Sidharth. I was blamed for coming in between Sidharth and Shehnaaz and their friendship. That deeply affected me. After that, I decided to let them be. I didn’t want to come in between their friendship. I am not someone who would want to become a cause of stress in anyone’s life.”

However, not she regrets, she said, “I regret the fact that I didn’t stay in touch with him. Though I thought of calling him on a couple of occasions, I didn’t because I felt that he was happy aur maine socha ki usse apni zindagi jeene do. I was just happy to see him happy and wanted to let him be. But no one expected something like this to happen. It’s unfortunate and devastating. My heart goes out to Shehnaaz. The incident has taught me to follow my heart. Saamne wale ka reaction mat socho, tum apne mann ka karo. Tum at least uski awaaz toh sunn loge aur mujhe ye sukoon rehta ki maine koshish ki.” As stated in ETimes.
