Umar said that after Asim got to know about Sidharth’s death he was shocked. He also said that though on the show Asim and Sidharth ended up as rivals, the two shared a great bond together. He was quoted by Bollywood Hungama, “It was like a shock when I heard and called up Asim. He was very low, about to cry. He actually cried a lot. Whatever happened on the show, they had a close bond. Somehow they couldn’t connect outside. However, I am sure both wanted to connect back given the bond they had. It was really devastating news for us. And soon as Asim heard about it, he rushed to the hospital to be with his family and show his affection.” Also Read - Rakhi Sawant gets a new boyfriend; gives him a kiss on a video call at the red carpet; fans say, 'Kadam kadam par pyar mil jata hai' [Watch Video]
In an interview with Indianexpress.com, Umar spoke about Sidharth just before entering the house. He said he lost a friend in Sidharth and will miss him inside the house. “His death came as such a shocker. Asim lost a brother and we all lost a wonderful soul. I pray and hope that his family gets the strength. Entering this show where I met and interacted with him is going to be emotional. He will be remembered inside, and I wish he was around to see me enter the show,” Umar said.
