Today’s song is from the film Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania-2014.
In the morning of 2nd September 2021, all the newspapers had the Front page news about the death of Bollywood’s young actor Sidharth Shukla, by Heart attack. They also flashed his photo. Looking at his photo, I thought he was quite a good looking macho fellow. Unlike my daily habit of reading only the headings of news ( rarely any news is worth reading these days), I read the complete news of Sidharth’s death- in Times of India and Maharashtra Times. I was surprised that such a healthy, athletic looking young man should get a Heart Attack and die of it !
Out of curiosity, I looked for his Bio-Data on the Internet and frankly, I was more than impressed. A boy from a middle class family in Bombay had achieved so much in so short a period-2005 to 2021, that it was just short of a Miracle. I seriously wanted to know more about him, his achievements, his desires, family, his career and his death.
Yesterday, the whole day, I was looking for information about him on the Internet and after learning enough about him, I thought he deserved a special post on our Blog. In the normal routine, I would not write a post on any recent film ( only because I am not in tune with modern cinema), but then this was an unusual event which I thought called for going deep into why such successful artistes die so early.
I came across an interview of Dr. Ashwini Mehta, Cardiologist in Sir Gangaram Hospital, Delhi, on this issue. He is of the opinion that even if the person is perfect in physical health, goes to Gym regularly etc, work stress and an unnatural desire to always remain fit can lead to Heart attack. The methods that artistes adopt to remain ever young are harmful. In case of Sidharth, he was brought dead to the Hospital. His Post Mortem report coming today has not revealed the exact cause. It expresses a doubt that perhaps excess Protein Diet could be one reason. More test reports are awaited.
The show business world is a killing one. On one hand it gives you name, fame and Money and on the other hand it kills you if you attempt to maintain these things beyond a limit by adopting wrong methods. There are many examples. I recollect reading somewhere that even Sri Devi did everything possible to remain beautiful always, till she succumbed to these very attempts.
In the last few years, there have been several unnatural deaths of young and upcoming artistes who adopted too much effort to remain happy and in public eyes all the time. This in turn gave them mental stress. few such examples of recent times are Sushant Rajput, Arathi Agarwal, Jiah Khan, Divya Bharati, Taruni Sachdev, Pratyusha Banerjee, Nafisa Joseph, Kuljit Randhava etc etc.
I gathered the life story of Sidharth Shukla from various sources on the internet. It is simply an outstanding career. However, now we know what attempts he used to adopt and at what cost…His Life !

The film Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania-2014 was having everything in it which the younger generation wanted. The lead pair of Varun Dhawan (son of director David Dhawan) and Alia Bhatt(Daughter of director Mahesh Bhatt) came with filmi background. It does help. The film was released on 11-7-2014. It grossed 120 crores on a budget of 33 crores. The seven songs were written byKumaar, Irshad Kaamil and Shashank Khaitan who also wrote the story as well as directed the film. One song was sung by Alia Bhatt also. The cast of the film was Varun Dhawaqn, Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Shukla, Ashutosh rana, Gaurav Pandey, Shivani Mahajan and many more. The music was by Sachin-Jigar and Shaarib-Toshi. The film story was…..
Kavya Pratap Singh (Alia Bhatt), a beautiful, educated and stylish Punjabi girl from Ambala who is set to be engaged to an NRI American doctor, decides to go to Delhi to buy an expensive designer bridal dress for her wedding, after her father, Kamaljeet (Ashutosh Rana), refuses to get her the pricey dress. While staying at her maternal uncle’s house, she comes across one of his students, Rakesh “Humpty” Kumar Sharma (Varun Dhawan), a young and flirtatious Punjabi boy in Delhi, whose father, Vinod Kumar Sharma, runs a stationery shop. Humpty, with the help of his friends, Shonty (Gaurav Pandey) and Poplu, chases Kavya, but she’s not interested. He, however, manages to befriend her. Kavya confides in Humpty, that her friend in Delhi, Gurpreet Sodhi, was blackmailed by her ex-boyfriend, who had secretly filmed a sex sequence of the two.
Humpty stumbles upon an idea for victimizing Gurpreet’s ex-boyfriend that would also avenge Gurpreet, and also gather the money for the wedding dress for Kavya. They manage to get some money but Kavya isn’t happy about the way that money is obtained. However, these ensuing adventures make Kavya fall for Humpty, and the night before she is to leave for Ambala, they Have Sex and end up sleeping together. When Humpty asks her if she loves him, she says she won’t go against Kamaljeet’s wishes. In order to help Humpty get the money for Kavya’s dress, Vinod, Poplu and Shonty chip in their savings. Kavya reluctantly accepts the money and leaves Delhi.
Kavya is a changed person when she arrives home. She tells her family that she has decided not to buy that expensive dress. In the meantime, she gifts a fancy car to Humpty using that money, as she had known from him about Vinod’s dream for a car. Overwhelmed, Humpty and his friends go to Ambala, where he tries to win over Kavya. Kamaljeet believes firmly in arranged marriages against love marriages, as his elder daughter, Swati, married against his wishes and the marriage turned out to be a disaster ending in divorce. Kamaljeet instantly disapproves of Humpty, and gets the three friends beaten up. Upon repeated persuasion, he gives Humpty a chance to find at least one reason why Kavya shouldn’t marry Angad (Sidharth Shukla). He sets him a five-day deadline to give him the reason. Humpty and his friends try their best to find flaws in Angad but fail to do so.
At the end of the deadline and on her wedding day, Kavya runs away from home and calls Humpty to join her on a train to leave town, but he refuses and convinces Kavya to get off the train. Meanwhile, Kamaljeet and the rest of the family reach the train station, where Kavya and Humpty are embracing each other. Kamaljeet, wrongly assuming the pair was eloping, is enraged and hits Humpty, who gives a powerful and touching explanation saying that he may not be as rich, successful or good-looking as Angad, but he loves Kavya from the core of his heart. He leaves Ambala and heads back to Delhi after that incident. When Kavya is dressed up as a bride, Kamaljeet asks her if she still fancies that expensive wedding dress. She replies she’s not fit for an expensive classy dress, but is suitable for local dresses. As it dawns on Kamaljeet that her relationship would be fuller with Humpty and not Angad, he brings everyone to Delhi where he approaches Humpty and gives his consent to marry his daughter.
With this song, film Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania-2014 makes its debut on this Blog.

Many Thanks for touching on the topic of fitness and being obsessed with fitness.
If I remember, this was discussed even last year when cricket heroes Kapil Dev and Saurav Ganguly were unwell and hospitalised.
Lately I have also seen people bringing up varied diets in an attempt to remain fit and equating fitness with obesity. People are heard saying “see that person is so fit (meaning slim) and look at urself” etc. Another fad desire for girls is a size ‘0’ meaning being super slim when the need to get into one of those red carpet outfits and international looks
As for the song with this post, it is one of those melodies which is not a flash in the pan and heard often on FM channels and still staying in the minds of the public. The lyricist Kumaar has penned a few popular songs in recent times with basic Punjabi flavor. And Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal have it in them to go for a long innings.
Personally, I liked Siddharth Shukla in Balika Vadhu, that is the only work of his that I have seen. I have not seen any of the other shows u ve mentioned or this movie as a whole. Only seen this song on satellite TV
Rest in Peace Siddharth

Peevesie’s Mom ji,
Thanks for your candid views on the current state of artistes’ mental set up about retaining success and fitness at any cost.
I feel bad about this senseless effort to remain in public eyes same as always and readiness to pay for it-knowingly or unknowingly.
You have very succinctly put this mad run about in words, better than what I could have. Thanks for that.
I used to see the serial ‘ Balika Vadhu’ along with my wife, but after her demise, I had given up seeing it. Hence never saw Sidharth in that TV serial. In fact I have never ever seen him in any show , serial or any film.
But still, knowing about his sad passing away drew my attention to this Rat Race and it prompted me to write this post.
Thanks again for joining me in condemning these senseless acts of retaining figure, fame and finance in show business, at any cost !

Arun Ji,
A thoughtful post. Sorry to see how in pursuit of ” Sucess ” and fame, people abuse/punish the body throwing caution to winds.
‘Humpty Sharma…’ was a watchable film. Song of the post has a nice appeal.

Satish ji,
In case of Sidharth Shukla, it was probably not the ” pursuit of ‘ success’ “, but his unnatural desire to remain attractive, young and popular all the time that took him to the doom. Excess of anything is bad is a very simple lesson, but people in show business forget this and then pay for their actions.
In a short period he achieved so much, what more he wanted, God alone knows !

Arunji,
The family in such cases wishes to be left alone, and grieve in privacy. We understand the sentiment. But if there is some reason, it does a public good if they come out with it. There was some hint about his smoking, and it was mentioned that even one or two cigarettes can be hazardous. There was no need for this unless he was a smoker. Sushant’s case also led to speculations. Some media channels went out of the way to prove he was not bipolar, and he was not into drugs. That did not prevent people from putting two and two together.
Reckless driving leading to death is a public occurrence. A VIPs son and daughter in law with five others dying recently for the thrill of reckless driving is painful, but sensitivity should not prevent us from highlighting the lesson.
Unfortunately, people refuse to learn. I don’t understand the psychology of challenging the death.
It is possible that without any particular reason a person may die young. Public disclosure is the best way to scotch unhealthy rumours.

AK ji,
Thanks for your views.
I agree with most of your opinions.
However, once a person is in social circle and at a certain stature, his private life is always a curiosity for the public. So, discussions on Shukla’s untimely death, on the social platforms is natural. Right or wrong is a different point.
Science says, nothing happens without a reason. Some one dying without an apparent reason is certainly a mystery. In this case, we do not know the reason and that is why discussions and guessing goes on.
The truth may come out some day, hopefully. Till then it is a sad story, without a reason, giving scope for wild guesswork.

It is really very sad to go away at such young age with all the glory. Death is an excuse.The destiny is preordained. Otherwise in every walk of life – some deaths confounds. There are umpteen instances. Ultimately we have to accept the reality. Your write up is really thought provoking.
Many thanks for touching the topic.

Manohar Lal Dave ji,
Thanks for your views and appreciation.
I was disturbed and felt sorry for poor Sidharth, who was a victim of an obsession for being successful all the time and remain fit all along.
The show business is a costly business, where the cost of your success is many times peace of mind and physical torture.
