Actor Sharad Malhotra commented: "I was at work at that time and there was a message that had came on my friends' WhatsApp group about his death. For a minute, I could not understand what had happened. The first thing that came to my mind was that it must have been a rumour, but then my phone started ringing constantly and the news turned out to be true. Sidharth's passing has left me, like most of us, numb and shocked, although I did not know him personally."

Ronit Roy, too, did not know Sidharth that well, but the actor's death did not leave him unaffected. "I am really heartbroken. He had a great career ahead of him. The unconditional love that his fans showered upon him in the last few years was truly phenomenal. He was in a great position to build on the goodwill he enjoyed and it would have been so lovely to see him scale greater heights."

He continued: "I didn't know him well personally, but even then it breaks my heart to see such a lovely, hard-working and talented young man going so soon. He had a really bright future. God bless his soul and may his family and loved ones get the strength to bear the loss."

Returning from Sidharth's funeral on Friday, Aly Goni said: "I can't still believe that such a happy and hearty person is no more among us. He was so full of life. I have known him socially and he always came across as a warm person. I can't even imagine the pain his family and Shehnaaz are going through."

The funeral had taught him life's big secret. Aly said: "Life is so unpredictable and very unfair at times. I attended the funeral and I am still so numb. You will be missed, Sidharth."
