Gauahar Khan criticises those who ‘give interviews’ about Sidharth Shukla’s family after the funeral

On Saturday, hours after the funeral of Sidharth Shukla, Gauahar Khan slammed individuals for ‘doing interviews’ after seeing his ‘grieving’ family members. Sidharth’s funeral took place on Friday at Mumbai’s Oshiwara crematorium. He passed away at the age of 40 on Thursday morning. Sidharth’s mother, Rita Shukla, as well as his sisters and Shehnaaz Gill, were all present at the cremation. Members of the television business and Sidharth’s friends attended the funeral, including Aly Goni, Asim Riaz, Rahul Mahajan, Sambhavna Seth, Vikas Gupta, Abhinav Shukla, Karanvir Bohra, and Shefali Jariwala.

Taking to Twitter, Gauahar wrote, “Anyone who has met a grieving family, should not give out details. Really sad to see people giving interviews about family members and sharing details. Stop! Please stop! If you have gone to pay your respect don’t come out and become a khabri (informer) and add to the low standard of journalism.”

Apart from that, Gauahar Khan had also blasted the media for its coverage of Sidharth Shukla’s death on Instagram Stories on Friday. “This is shameful! The media houses all alike should be ashamed of this kind of coverage! Hang your heads if this is what you do to someone who has lost a loved one! Be ashamed, very ashamed. All media houses, you are only about sensationalising even tragedy” she wrote.

She also made a snide remark about celebrities, “And actors/known personalities who are taking off their mask right near the media to be clicked, hang your head in shame too! Disgusted with everything that is going on. If you really wanna pay respect say a lil prayer for the departed soul, rather than making this an opportunity to be clicked! #Youknowwhoyouare #Sad.” She further said, “I am sorry Sid! rest in peace super star.”

According to a hospital official, Sidharth had already passed away when he was brought to Mumbai’s Cooper hospital on Thursday morning. Several celebrities, including Varun Dhawan, Rajkummar Rao, and Maniesh Paul, among others visited Sidharth’s home to offer their respects.
