Netizens are divided on Chandan’s videos. While some feel he is keeping the late actor’s memories alive through his videos, others are of the opinion that Chandan is using a tragedy for personal gains.

“You so remind me of him just keep making such videos of him.. miss u sid,” commented one Instagram user while another wrote, “Keep sid alive like this”.

People who found the videos a publicity stunt commented, “Sirf followers badhane ke liye sab kar raha hai ye” (he is doing all this just to gain followers), wrote a user. Another commented,  “O bhai katail ghatiya mazak ho gaya... Mtlb kuch bhi .. kisi ko bhi kisi s compare…” (Dude enough of the cheap joke...you are drawing a bizarre comparison).

Sidharth Shukla was last seen in Ekta Kapoor’s web series ‘Broken But Beautiful 3’. The actor first rose to fame in 2012 for playing Shivraj Shekhar in popular daily soap Balika Vadhu. He later participated in reality shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi 7 and Bigg Boss 14 - both of which he won. 

The actor is survived by his mother Rita Shukla and two sisters - Neetu and Preeti.

New Delhi: Actress Avika Gor rose to fame as a child artist with her stellar performance in TV drama ‘Balika Vadhu’. The actress, who grew up in front of the camera, says she had a really negative self-image and hated her body. Avika says the negative image made her further neglect her body but at the same time she would focus on acting, to improve her craft.

“I hated myself so much that I did not care. I did not bother how I look. I was just focussing on my acting. I didn’t care. I just did not want to look in the mirror. I hated myself so much. So, it was a very negative feeling that I used to get. I remember trying costumes for my shoot the next day I just felt like whatever,” Avika told Pinkvilla.

She further added, “I didn’t bother about all those things. I didn’t want to look the best. I didn’t feel like looking the best. At the end I spoke to my audience they always spoke the way I acted. So, my audience made me feel that I was doing a good job at acting and it didn’t made me feel focus on anything else.”
