This couldn’t be shown on Television as they can’t show much of religious or political conversations. That’s why people often feel that they don’t know how Shukla and I connected.”
The conversation shifted towards Shehnaaz Gill and her connection with Sidharth during their time on the reality show. Paras shared how the actress reminds him of the late actor. He stated that he wonders how she copes with the constant reminders of Sidharth in her daily life. Paras expressed, “I wonder how she’d deal with things as she would also get such comments from others and she’d be reminded of Sidharth Shukla daily.”
