MUMBAI :On Friday, the television industry woke up to the shocking news of television actor Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi, who passed away while working out in the gym.
The news came as a shock to his family, friends, well-wishers and fans.
Reports suggest that the actor, while working out in the gym, suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away on the spot.
His last rites were held on the same day, with his daughter carrying out the last rituals.
The late actor was married to supermodel Alesia Raut, who has been in shock since the actor passed away.
Post his passing away, many colleagues and actors poured out messages of condolences on social media and stood by his family during these tough times.
But it seems like the family is upset with Bollywood director Vivek Agnihotri’s message on social media, in which he gave the wrong information about the death of the late actor.
He had said, “This is so tragic & sad. The mad rush to build an aggressive body, without any medical advice is so dangerous. Hyper-Gymming is a relatively new phenomenon that got mad impetus due to Instagram. It needs to be regulated for sure. Society needs to rethink. Oh, Siddhant.”
The late actor’s daughter, Diza took to social media and slammed the director for the incorrect message being passed.
She said, “This is so incorrect. My father never had the issue of over-exerting himself while gymming. With all due respect, if this man knew even half of who he was, he would’ve known that my dad knew health and fitness inside-out, and followed a carefully planned out fitness regime to maintain and sustain his health and body.”
She further said, “I hate seeing incorrect speculations all over the internet about him recklessly chasing a gym bod. I didn’t want to post anything but I felt the need to just confirm that all these allegations were not true. It is unfair, but maybe it was his time. Don’t believe the internet; it has become ridiculous and is completely breaching our privacy.”
Well, Diza has said it rightly that during such times, neither media nor social media gives the grieving family any space.
