September 2, 2021, was when we lost one of the greatest TV actors and a fan favourite, Sidharth Shukla. It has been four long years since the actor left for his heavenly abode, and to date, fans eagerly share his pictures and videos, keeping him alive in spirit.
Fans can also never forget his bond with Shehnaaz Gill, fondly known together as SidNaaz. What began as a playful camaraderie on ‘Bigg Boss 13’ blossomed into one of the most heartfelt connections. Even today, the duo’s moments continue to trend across social media, keeping their story alive.
Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill hit it off instantly at the ‘BB’ house. While Shehnaaz was predominantly from the Punjabi film and music industry, Shukla was an established TV actor who had even done cameos in movies.
Their connection felt genuine, and soon Sidharth and Shehnaaz became #SidNaaz. While many of their moments from the show were aww-worthy, one of the most cherished was their intimate New Year’s dance in the 'Bigg Boss' house. While everyone was busy having fun, the alleged lovebirds were having an intimate and cosy dance. And of course, the camera caught it all!
Their playful fights, late-night conversations, and sheer honesty with each other made them relatable yet aspirational. Even filmmaker Rohit Shetty couldn’t resist their charm. During one of the ‘BB 13’ episodes, he requested them to dance together, proving how even he was impressed with #SidNaaz.
Though their journey began on Bigg Boss, SidNaaz didn’t end with the show’s finale. Fans saw glimpses of their continued bond in music videos, interviews, and public appearances. Their song ‘Bhula Dunga’ became an instant hit, and fans even loved Tony Kakkar’s ‘Shona Shona’ featuring the duo.
After Sidharth’s sudden passing in 2021, Shehnaaz Gill became the torchbearer of their memories. She paid tribute with the soulful music video Tu Yaheen Hai, which left fans teary-eyed.
According to a report by Bollywoodshaadis, Shehnaaz appointed Sidharth’s chauffeur after his untimely demise.
What made SidNaaz special was that their bond defied labels. Were they best friends, partners, or soulmates? The truth is, they were simply SidNaaz; two people who found solace in each other amidst the chaos of fame and reality TV.
Four years may have passed, but SidNaaz’s legacy is eternal. Fans keep their moments alive through edits, tributes, and celebrations of their love. You tell us, which SidNaaz moment is your favourite?
