Pavitra
Punia
remembered
her
friend
and
late
co-star,
Sidharth
Shukla,
in
a
recent
interview
with
HT.
The
actress,
who
made
her
acting
debut
opposite
Shukla,
said
she
is
unable
to
come
to
terms
with
the
demise
of
her
good
friend.
Pavitra
had
spent
time
with
Sidharth
in
the
Bigg
Boss
14
house
last
year
as
well.
She
said
that
her
heart
goes
out
to
his
family
and
friend
Shehnaaz
Gill.
Speaking
about
Sidharth
and
Shehnaaz’s
bond,
Pavitra
told
the
daily,
“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.”
The
actress
also
opened
up
about
her
rapport
with
Sidharth
and
added,
“We
had
a
Tom
and
Jerry
like
bond!
I
worked
with
him
in
Love
U
Zindagi
in
2011
my
first
show
as
a
lead.
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
me
realize
to
bring
the
original
Pavitra,
I
wouldn’t
have
lasted
for
a
week
in
the
house.”
Pavitra
shared
that
Sidharth
was
proud
of
his
achievements
whilst
being
ambitious
and
that
he
wanted
to
make
a
mark
in
the
industry.
She
added
that
in
the
next
two
years,
he
would
have
reached
greater
heights
in
his
career
and
that
she
really
misses
him.
