We all have mourned the untimely demise of TV superstar Siddharth Shukla. He has been on our minds and becomes the center point of conversations very often by fan clubs and media houses but this time, something unfortunate has happened. Fans of Sidharth Shukla are upset with producers of the song ‘Jeena Zaroori Hai’ which features the late actor with Bigg Boss contestant Vishal Kotian and actress Deepika Tripathy. They took to Twitter to share that the song has been released without the consent of Sidharth’s family and the makers are using his name to garner more views.
Sharing the family’s official statement released on the matter earlier, a fan wrote, “That was a clear indication n special req. related to this song..who can know @sidharth_shukla choices better than his loveliest family n closest ones..still if u r going against him , I’m against u..RESPECT SIDHARTH’S CHOICES…STOP USING SIDHARTH SHUKLA #SidharthShukla.”

For the unversed, the music video was the last piece of work that Sidharth had shot before he passed away in September last year. Vishal Kotian had informed media about it in his interview before Bigg Boss 15.
He had said, “Nobody knows that Sidharth Shukla’s last project was with me in Odisha, a Hindi music video. Shadab Shabri is the singer. The irony of the song is titled ‘Jeena Zaruri Hai Kya’. In the song Sidharth and I are brothers. If Sidharth had been alive, we would have probably launched this song on Bigg Boss 15.”
He had added, “The song is about two brothers in love with the same girl just like the film Saajan.” However, a source had later told ETimes that Sidharth had left the project unfinished as he wasn’t happy with the shoot and had requested the makers not to release it.
Sidharth’s family had specially issued a formal statement wherein they had specifically mentioned, “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.”
It further read, “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 content or intent for release.”
