Hi All, I am a new fan of SidNaaz. I just needed a place where I could share my feelings with people who are likely to be experiencing the same grief, sorrow and loss.
I didn't even know Siddharth Shukla by his name when I read of his untimely demise - had only watched parts of Balika Vadhu and Dil Se Dil Tak and recognized him from there. But the news struck to me so personally and deeply that I wasn't able to shake it off (maybe coz I am about to turn 40 too or what...).
I have never followed any actors even the big legends nor ever had any fan craze for any actors in my entire life. So, this connection I felt for someone whom I hadn't even followed seemed very strange. It seemed so very personal and I just wanted to read more about him. There were so many actors who have passed away recently like Sushant which was also very tragic and so young but I didn't even follow the uproar that followed his death. So, why this strange connection with Siddharth has got established I am unable to fathom nor express in words...
News articles lead me to Big Boss 13 & BBB3. Initially I didn't want to watch and invest my time in that, so tried to read about BB13 updates to know him better but before I knew it, I have been sucked into the rabbit hole of SidNaaz and it has turned into quite an obsession now. I couldn't stop myself from binging on BB13 and numerous USUD. I wanted to know more about his journey in BB13, how he won, the strategies he followed, people's opinions and trends which led me to this page. I have read quite a few pages of Sidnaaz thread and it was reassuring for me to read that there were many more who are so emotionally invested in Siddharth and Shehnaaz. And all of you have followed them for more than 2 years so I hope some of you can relate to my feelings here... Its amazing how they both were able to make such a strong connection with the audience in BB13 - us being able to experience all their emotions personally and more. I doubt anyone else has been able to make such a connection on reality TV.
After watching him BBB3, I felt he had just arrived and was at his all time peak. He was just mind blowing in this series; his larger than life screen presence owning every scene in it - how some of his actions were intertwined with his personality and journey from BB13 was truly amazing. Its such a tragic loss.
I find myself worrying for Shehnaaz like I do any of my family members. Worry what this tragedy would be doing to her mentally - bringing up her childhood insecurities and abandonment issues. Sid was perhaps her first anchor and solid rock and to have that so tragically snatched away... She has always yearned for love and her greatest fear of losing love....her vulnerability and trusting nature in this glitzy industry... I doubt any of her family members can provide her the right guidance in this sphere...
I needed a place to share my feelings and also to know how you all have coped to deal with this tragedy.. I want to understand why this strange connection has been formed.. Please do share your coping techniques and how you have overcome their "addiction" with this couple..
