Siddharth Shukla who is popularly known as Shiv Of
Sunjoy Wadhwa's Sphere Origins Productions popular daily soap
Balika Vadhuon
Colors, was reported to be missing on Monday in one of the daily newspaper.
The report also questioned whether it was a Publicity stunt for the show
Balika Vadhuwhere his character as Shiv is supposed to be shown as cutting off ties with his family. We spoke to a source from the channel about the same and this is what our source had to say, "It is absolutely not a publicity stunt. Siddharth had taken couple of days off from the shoot of
Balika Vadhu and that is when these rumors seem to have started. However he had not gone missing as everyone related to the show knew about that his absence was due to the fact that he was not required for shooting during that time." Talking about how a mountain is made out of a molehill, the source further adds, "We would really appreciate reporters get news confirmed with us too before writing something like this. We agree that everyone has sources on the sets who leak out news but they may not always be telling the truth!"
There is also good news for fans of
Siddharth Shukla who is very much shooting for his show. In fact just on last Friday he was seen making a public appearance at the 'We Wish you Peace event' held at Welingker College in Mumbai. He spoke to TellyBuzz and when asked about his reaction towards the news article he quipped, "I am unaffected by such attention grabbing headlines and articles as such things are written about every actor and clarifications can't be given for every single news so it's fine."
Further he elaborated saying that his fans are well updated about him since he is very much active on the social networking site Twitter, "People who love me will keep loving me as I will never let them down as far as my acting is concerned. Also off late, I have started using twitter and my Twitter handle is Sidharth Shukla and people can see my updates there... the kind of response I get over there is completely overwhelming. So I totally remain unharmed with such kind of news."
Well,
Siddharth Shukla says that he is unharmed with negative news, but is his fan following too unharmed with such news? Well, we wonder.
