Actor Sidharth Shukla’s shocking demise stunned everybody. The 40-year-old actor reportedly suffered a massive heart attack on Thursday morning. Since the news broke on social media, fans, friends and colleagues have been sharing heartfelt condolences for the actor. Sidharth, who won Bigg Boss 13 was a loved name. His bond with co-contestant Shehnaaz Gill became one of the major highlights of the reality show and fans couldn’t have more of them. They were lovingly called, ‘SidNaaz’. Following Sidharth’s demise, while Shehnaaz is yet to speak to the media, her father, Santosh Singh Sukh informed the actress is not doing well.

“I spoke to her. She is not fine. My son Shehbaaz has left for Mumbai to be with her and I will be going later,” he told SpotboyE.

Sidharth was last seen on television as a guest on reality shows Bigg Boss OTT and Dance Deewane. He was accompanied by Shehnaaz Gill. Before making an appearance on Shehnaaz, Sidharth said he is quite excited about entering the ‘Bigg Boss OTT’ house with “my best friend” Shehnaaz Gill. The two actors made quite a loving pair during their time as contestants in ‘Bigg Boss 13’.

Recently their film ‘Silsila SidNaaz Ka’ with Shehnaaz, who’s rumoured to be his girlfriend was also released on a streaming app. Talking about it he added, “Well, ‘Bigg Boss’ holds a special place in my heart,” he said. “It has given me back my identity and the audiences got to know the real Siddharth through this show. My ‘Bigg Boss’ journey wouldn’t have been the way it was without Shehnaaz and everyone who has supported me wholeheartedly.”

Sidharth Shukla was a multi-talented personality who not only did daily soaps but also hosted reality shows besides Bollywood projects.

He was best known for his role of ‘Shivraj Shekhar’ in ‘Balika Vadhu’. Even after his demise, he is being remembered for the way he showed his acting skills in the serial. Besides this, he also did ‘Dil Se Dil Tak’, ‘Bigg Boss 13’, ‘Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 7’ and hosted shows like ‘Savdhaan India’ and also did projects with Karan Johar like ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’.

Life resuming back in Gaza with the opening of cafes and shops. The fishermen are now moving towards the sea for fishing. The lives of the people are now coming back to normal after a deadly 11-day conflict between Hamas and Israel.

The Gaza strip is now focussing on rebuilding the territory a day after the hold of the airstrike. Rescue workers are searching for the bodies or the survivors after the “war”. Dozens of city fishermen are preparing nets before moving toward the sea, on Gaza ports.

One of the fishermen, Rami  Abu Amira said,”We need to eat. We, fishermen, are scared the Israeli navy will shoot at us. It’s up to everyone to decide whether to go or not”.

The attack on Gaza killed 248 people including 66 children, and 1,900 wounded since May 10. The United Nation says that half of the people killed, are civilians.

The ‘Black Fungus’ also known as Mucormycosis has taken several lives in the country. The fungus is on a major surge since the coronavirus outbreak. As many as 90 people died due to this virus in Maharashtra, reported Rajesh Tope on Wednesday. Along with the news he also notified about the indiscriminate use of steroids to treat the Covid-19 patients.

He told the reporters,”So far, 90 people have died due to mucormycosis in Maharashtra. It is serious… It should not  be taken lightly. Indiscrimate use of steroids to treat COVID patients should be avoided”.

Mr. Tope said that the factors like severe diabetes and suppression of the immune system also leads to catching the virus. The medical experts say that steroids are also a major factor in spreading of the virus.

Mr. Tope added,”The Maharashtra government is prepared to tackle it and has prepared nine-page guidelines for doctors who treat mucormycosis patients. The guidelines also suggest preventive measures such as use of sterilised and distilled water in humidifiers of oxygen  supplying machines (in Covid-19 wards)”.

As compared to the first wave, the cases of Black Fungus has rapidly increased in the second wave.
