Ex-Bigg Boss contestant Pavitra Punia opens up on Sidharth Shukla’s relationship with Shehnaaz Gill

Bigg Boss 14 contestant and actress Pavitra Punia recently talked about her bond with the late actor Sidharth Shukla and also opened up on on Shehnaaz Gill’s relationship with Sidharth Shukla.

According to Pavitra Punia, the relationship between Shehnaaz and Sidharth was no less than that of a husband and wife. She decsribed the couple’s relation as ‘pure’ and siad that the fans will continue to remember Sidharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill.

Talking to Hindustan Times, Shehnaaz said, “Aaj main jab Shehnaaz ko dekthi hoon, toh rooh kaanp jaati hai. People dream of having a pure bond like they had. I wouldn’t say it was dosti or boyfriend-girlfriend. Yeh rishta pati patni se kam nahin tha. After Soni-Mahiwal, Romeo-Juliet, people will remember Sidharth-Shehnaaz. Their fans are crazy about them. I was madly in love with the Shehnaaz and Sid jodi. I hope she manages, stays strong to cope with the loss.”

Recalling her bond with Sidharth Shukla, Pavitra said, “I worked with him in Love U Zindagi in 2011 my first show as a lead. Back then, I didn’t know the ways of the industry yet I had an attitude. I was called a youth icon and a reality star due to Spilsvilla. Sidharth was reserved, composed and kaam se kaam rakhnewale. He was my senior yet we had issues. I would think hoga hero apne ghar ka and we wouldn’t give shots together.”

“The show lasted for 6 months. We bonded well when we went to Macau for an awards show. That’s where we broke the ice. He was so protective and such a gentleman. After the show ended, our bond became better. Later, when we met on Bigg Boss, he asked me, ‘Dus saal pehle wali Pavtira kahan hai?’. He wanted the rowdy Pavitra. Had he not asked me to bring the original Pavitra, I wouldn’t have lasted for a week in the house,” she added.
