Arshi Khan on Celebs Behaving Like ‘Wannabes’ Over Sidharth Shukla’s Death: It’s Overacting And Fake
Ex-Bigg Boss contestant Arshi Khan has reacted to celebrities who are trying to hog the limelight over actor Sidharth Shukla’s death. She called this behaviour disgusting. “It is disgusting that people look out for self-benefit whenever a popular celebrity dies. I’m disappointed with many people I know, who are coming out as ‘wannabes’ over Sidharth Shukla’s death. Their action and statements in media are sounding like overacting and fake. Later they themselves will feel sorry about it,” Arshi told IANS.Also Read – Sidharth Shukla’s Family Releases Official Statment After his Demise: ‘He Valued His Privacy’
The actress, who rose to popularity with Bigg Boss 14, suggested that such people should focus on themselves instead. “People claiming they are ‘numb’, and are ‘unable to come out of it’ need to be involved in prayers and meditation and pray for Sidharth’s soul. It will be more helpful than involving themselves in giving bytes. They can also do some good cause like feeding less fortunate people or doing charity in Sidharth’s name,” she said.
