Exclusive - Arti Singh: Sidharth Shukla's sudden demise taught me to live in the present and not worry about marriage or kids

Arti Singh shared a close bond with Sidharth Shukla during Bigg Boss 13. She is also one of those, who are deeply affected by his death. Recently, while interacting with ETimes TV at the launch of Bigg Boss 15, the actress shared that Sidharth's sudden demise has taught her to live in the present and not worry about marriage and kids which she earlier did.

"I was a person who has never lived in the present. I always think of the future. I have feared about the future - of marriage and kids. I now feel it's better to live in the present. You don't know about God's plans for you. Maybe he wants me to live in the moment. I have stopped living for the future. Now, I wake up everyday and think main aisa kya karoon ki main khush ho sakoon. Like the other day, I wore a saree for Ganpati. I visited only one house for Ganpati, my closest friend. I am not thinking about work. I want to work, I want to make money, because I want to travel. I love travelling and want to see the world. I don't want a bungalow ...ban gaya toh bhagwan ki kripa. I just want to be happy and healthy," said the actress.

Arti further shared that she is still in denial and that it is a huge loss for the family. "It's a big loss for the family and it's unfortunate. We all still live in denial. It's still hard to believe. It's the biggest loss for the industry, fans but definitely not more than the family. Now, I feel it's best not to hold a grudge against anyone," said the Waaris actress.

Sidharth Shukla passed away on September 2 due to heart attack at his Mumbai residence. His last rites were attended by his family, close friends, many television celebrities and Bigg Boss 13 contestants.
