5. Tantrums on sets:
Except for being famous for his aggressive behavior, he is also known as the ‘tantrum king’ in the telly world. According to his co-star Sheetal Kandal, ‘I am not surprised by Sidharth Shukla’s behavior. I have personally seen and I know what kind of person he is. People who have worked with him are aware of how he throws his weight around. When I worked with him on Balika Vadhu, he was known for throwing tantrums. He used to arrive on sets late, make us wait for him to begin the shoot. The production house had a difficult time working with him’ she said.
6. Abusive behavior with co-star Kunal Verma:
Shukla’s co-star Kunal Verma criticized his behavior on the sets of ‘Dil Se Dil Tak.’ Talking to The Times of India, he said “The Times of India, Kunal even said the actor needs psychiatric help. He said, “He is an unprofessional maniac and a psycho. I think he needs psychiatric treatment again. I heard he had gone to rehab once and I think he needs to visit it again.”
7. Inappropriate behavior with co-star Sheetal Kandal:
Shukla’s co-star Sheetal Kandal who was also a part of Balika Vadhu said in an interview with the Times of India, “I was laughing recently when I saw him taking a stand for Arti Singh on Bigg Boss 13 as in real life the kind of language he has used with me and comments that he has made for me is nothing compared to what Siddhartha Dey has said for Arti. He used to pass vulgar and double meaning jokes on me. He also passed comments which I can’t even share with you. I had complained about him to one of the creative producers of the show after which he created a huge ruckus on the sets. When he arrived the next day on the sets he was yelling at the top of his voice against me. From body-shaming to passing derogatory comments he has done everything and on Bigg Boss 13 he is trying to project himself as one ‘mahaan’ (great) person.”
