Shehnaaz Gill shares message from Sidharth Shukla’s family: ‘Reach out to us before using his name’
Sidharth Shukla’s family has asked individuals to respect the decisions that he made. The family has asked people to reach out to them, prior to releasing any project that he was engaged with, that stays unreleased. Shehnaaz Gill shared the message from Sidharth’s family late on Tuesday night. Sidharth passed on after a heart attack in September last year, leaving his fans shocked.
Addressed to all Sidharth’s well-wishers, the message read, “We, as a family, come with a request, which we hope everyone will respect. Sidharth has moved on and no longer can he make decisions for himself, but he’s still an integral part of our lives and our memories and we are there to protect his wishes. We request everyone who wants to use Sidharth’s name and/or face in any project, please reach out to us. Please take a moment to ask us.”

The family statement also added, “We knew Sidharth’s choices, we knew what he would have wanted and our decisions for him would be keeping all this in mind. And if there were projects that he wasn’t happy with, we are sure he wouldn’t want them released. Anything that did not release when he was with us, did not have his consent or intent for release. So please let’s keep his wishes in mind and let’s remember him with love, with respect, with fond memories, the ones he left us with.” It was signed off as ‘The Shukla Family’. Shehnaaz simply posted the message on social media, without any caption.
