Actress Rashami Desai, a prominent figure in Indian television for two decades, recently reflected on her past, including her relationship with the late Sidharth Shukla.

Rashmi Desai reflects on her relationship with Sidharth Shukla

In Bharti Singh’s podcast, Rashmi Desai candidly discussed her complex relationship with Sidharth Shukla, acknowledging that they didn’t always get along while working on Dil Se Dil Tak. “People saw us in a very different light on Bigg Boss,” she explained. “We used to fight because I have a history with Sidharth Shukla. In the 1.5 to 2 years that we worked together, there had been so many differences that we would not speak to each other for nine months. Our differences were so strong that we could not see each other’s faces. But when we worked, both of us were very professional.”

She then reflected on their time on Bigg Boss 13, emphasizing how Shukla supported her during a challenging period. “Sidharth was a wonderful and very knowledgeable co-actor,” she recalled. “He had a good heart too. Unfortunately, 2018 was not a very good phase that I had gone through. I saw a lot of ups and downs, and he knew about it. So when on Bigg Boss we had a family week and he came to give me water, only he knew what I was going through. We would communicate through our eyes, it was a very unsaid equation between us which I also respected.” She added that her niece was fond of Shukla, and despite their differences, she never prevented them from interacting.

Desai emphasized that their disagreements were both professional and personal. “I respect that, and now that he isn’t around, it also doesn’t make sense” to discuss them further, she said. She concluded, “Just because we didn’t get along does not mean he was a bad person, there was a phase in my life where I couldn’t do anything.” Both Rashami Desai and Sidharth Shukla were contestants on Bigg Boss 13, hosted by Salman Khan.
