“Jealous Salman Khan, helped by Shehnaz Gill killed Siddhart Shukla", claims WhatsApp messages
Shahrukh Khan, Taliban also blamed for actor's death; Here’s how people reacted
Mumbai: Popular actor and winner of the 13th season of the reality show Bigg Boss, Siddhart Shukla passed away on Thursday after suffering a massive heart attack. He passed away at Cooper hospital in Mumbai, aged 40.
Ever since his demise, Siddhart’s fans have been expressing their shock and grief across social media platforms over the actor’s sudden death. But much like the case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s case, conspiracy theorists began floating several of their theories believing foul play in the actor’s death.
One of the messages that were being forwarded mainly on WhatsApp, claimed Bollywood actor and host of Bigg Boss killed Sidharth Shukla out of jealousy due to Sidhart’s growing popularity. It also claimed that Salman Khan took the help of Sidhart’s rumored girlfriend, Shehnaz Gill.
The message also dragged another Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan into the matter linking him with the Taliban and Taliban to Sidhart’s murder.
Below is a screenshot of the message that is going viral on social media platforms, and the reaction of Twitter users when a journalist shared the image on her Twitter handle.

Screenwriter Salim Khan on ventilator support and stable, say doctors
Mumbai (PTI): Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan suffered a brain haemorrhage which has been tackled, is on ventilator support as a safeguard and stable, doctors treating him said on Wednesday, a day after he was admitted to the Lilavati Hospital here.
The 90-year-old, one half of the celebrated Salim-Javed duo which scripted films such as "Sholay", "Deewar" and "Don" with Javed Akhtar, is in the ICU and recovery might take some time given his age.
"His blood pressure was high for which we treated him and we had to put him on a ventilator because we wanted to do certain investigations. Now the ventilator was put as a safeguard so that his situation doesn't get worse. So it is not that he is critical," Dr Jalil Parkar told reporters.
"We did the investigations that were required and today we have done a small procedure on him, I will not go into the details. The procedure done is called DSA (digital subtraction angiography). The procedure has been accomplished, he is fine and stable and shifted back to ICU. By tomorrow, we hope to get him off the ventilator. All in all, he is doing quite well," he added.
Asked whether he suffered a brain haemorrhage, the doctor said, "Unko thoda haemorrhage hua tha, which we’ve tackled. No surgery is required.
As concern over Khan's health mounted, his children, including superstar Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan, daughter Alvira, and sons-in-law Atul Agnihotri and Aayush Sharma, have been seen outside the hospital along with other well-wishers. His long-time partner Akhtar was also seen coming out of the hospital.
Khan, a household name in the 70s and 80s, turned 90 on November 24 last year. It was the day Dharmendra, the star of many of his films, including "Sholay", "Seeta aur Geeta" and "Yaadon Ki Baraat", passed away.
Hailing from an affluent family in Indore, Khan arrived in Mumbai in his 20s with dreams of stardom. He was good looking and confident he would make a mark in the industry as an actor. But that did not happen. And then, after struggling for close to a decade and getting confined to small roles in films, he changed lanes.
He worked as an assistant to Abrar Alvi and soon met Akhtar to form one of Hindi cinema's most formidable writing partnerships. They worked together on two dozen movies with most of them achieving blockbuster status.
Other than "Sholay", "Deewar" and "Don", Khan and Akhtar also penned "Trishul", "Zanjeer", "Seeta Aur Geeta", "Haathi Mere Saathi", "Yaadon Ki Baarat" and "Mr India".
