Our connection with departed souls has a disclaimer ‘to be continued’: Shehnaaz on coping up with Sid's demise

In a one-hour long conversation with spiritual guru Shivani Verma aka BK Shivani, actress Shehnaaz Gill opened up on how her life changed as she took the spiritual path. She also spoke at length about how she coped up with Sidharth Shukla’s death.

In the video posted on Gill's YouTube channel, Shehnaaz expressed gratitude towards Sidharth as he made her life inclined towards spirituality and also introduced her to this world and Shivani Verma. The actress said, “Sidharth has helped me in many ways and also changed my outlook towards life. I always wanted to meet you (Shivani), he used to tell me that we will surely meet and asked me to chill. And see, today we’re having a chat, maybe it’s because of the desire that I always had to speak with you”.

Talking about her condition post Sidharth’s death and how she coped up with the same, Gill said, “I was grieving and would often think that there’s no purpose of life. But later on, I realised that Sidharth’s journey for this life has ended but not mine. I didn’t want to do things that I would regret about later. I keep his fond memories close to my heart and feel his presence in whatever he has taught me. Now, when I’m about to react in a certain way, I held myself back and think about things that he has taught me and refrain myself from doing wrong things or reacting in certain ways. It’s his thoughts and the memories that we had that’s still helping me in even when he isn’t around”.

She further added, “Now, when I go on shoots, his thoughts cross my mind. I think that he would also have shot for several projects, if he was here. But then I brush off these thoughts and think about performing better. I feel like, I should perform and do work on his behalf also”.

“I feel like my journey with him, in this life has gotten a halt. It’s like when we watch movies, there’s a disclaimer which reads ‘to be continued’ and it continues until it gets the ‘happy ending’. I feel the same about us”, she quipped.

Sidharth Shukla breathed his last on 2nd September 2021 after suffering a stroke.
