August 6, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Siddharth Shukla was suffering from Typhoid and hence, had to take a break from the shoot. To his utter amazement, some media report says that he fooled the production members by saying that he was not feeling well but he attended a function in Hyderabad. Be it reality or rumor, it has put Siddharth at a loss.

In an attempt to clear off the cobweb, created by the media report, Siddharth says, “Despite being under medication, I had been on the sets and shooting almost for one week. And after that, I went to Hyderabad to attend an event which I had signed a month before I fell ill. Our production people know everything about the event and the contract. And as I couldn’t break the contract which I had made before, I attended the function despite my illness.”

He refused to go with the report that accused him of having deceived the members of the show’s production unit. “The report has really hurt me as each of the production members is in the know of my illness, the contract and my trip to Hyderabad. I could not stay back as far as my sense of professionalism is concerned. Thus, there is not an iota of doubt that I had not acted to be ill and planned to tell lie to the production. It is as clear as crystal to all,” adds Siddharth confidently.

On being enquired after his health, he replies “It’s better than before. Now I am on my feet. Hope it be healthy always”.

Well, all we can say is ‘Take Care Siddharth’.
