Rashami Desai opens up about her bond with the late Sidharth Shukla; says, 'Usne mujhe bohot kareeb se jaana hai aur...'

Sidharth Shukla's untimely demise left everyone shocked. It is still difficult to believe that he is no more. He passed away on September 2 last year. Sidharth has given some really amazing performances on-screen. Be it Balika Vadhu, Dil Se Dil Tak or Bigg Boss13, he has been the best.

His chemistry with Rashami Desai in Dil Se Dil Tak became the talk of the twon. With that, there were rumours that they were dating and also had some ugly fights. When the two entered Bigg Boss 13, we did see them fighting and eventually ended their fights.

However, Sidharth's demise left all the Bigg Boss 13 participants heartbroken. Rashami too, was shocked and hurt. While she visited his house when he passed away, many trolled her and called it fake. Now, Rashami has spoken about Sidharth.

In an interview with BBC Hindi, she said that by the time people trolled her, she had made herself very strong and heartless. She said a lot of happening in her personal life back then and when she worked with Sidharth, he had known her closely and even she knew him well.

"Tab tak maine apne aapko bohot strong bana chuki thi or maybe heartless bana chuki thi, I will be very honest kyuki meri neeji zindanı mein bhi bohot kuch chal raha tha aur Sidharth ke saath jab maine show kiya tha, usne mujhe bohot kareeb se jaana hai aur main usse kareeb se jaanti thi toh hame ek dusre ko kaafi sari cheezein pata thi. Hamari ladai alag wajah se hoti thi. Maine usse hamesha ek baat bolti thi ki badi body ek 10 saal ka baccha hai aur wo aisa hi tha aur apni terms and condition pe wo jeeya hai. (Till that time I had made myself very strong and heartless. A lot of things were going on in my life and when I did the show with Sidharth, he knew about my life very closely and I knew about him. We used to fight because of something else. I used to always tell him that in his large body there’s a 10-year-old child. He was like that only, he used to live on his own terms and conditions.), "she said.

She also said that they did speak after Bigg Boss 13 and she was happy to see him doing good. "Work wise bhi uska acha tha and mera alag tarikese chal raha tha, toh ek daariye hum apne liye set kar chuke mature level pe. Logon ne bohot pyaar diya and utna hi hate bhi kiya hai kyuki jo hamari beech ki journey thi wo hamare tak hi seemit thi jo hamne baat hi nahi ki aur mujhe bhi nahi chahiye tha aur usse bhi nahi tha. (We had set a limit with each other on a mature level. People loved me a lot, and also hated me. Our journey was only known to us.), "she added.
