His close friend Shehnaaz Gill, with whom he shared the small screen on Bigg Boss 13, also had something to express on his birth anniversary. Gill paid a special tribute to Sidharth Shukla on his birth anniversary by posting a picture of him, as an angel. She shared an edited picture of him with wings on Sunday afternoon. Fans of Sidnaaz who had been posting about Sidharth's birth anniversary since a week left heartfelt comments below her post. "More power to you girl," said a fan, while another posted, "Literally an angel."

Actress Tasneem Nerurkar left heart, hugs and angel emojis for the post. Shehnaaz and Sidharth met on Bigg Boss 13 and instantly became a fan favourite with their chemistry and unique bond on the show.
