Along with hype for the song from his fans, he also received considerable backlash for releasing a tribute song dedicated to the late actor. A few netizens were of the opinion that the singer was commercialising Sidharth Shukla's death and disrespecting him. 


One user wrote on Twitter, "Jaan! A tribute is something that comes straight from the heart. Tribute can't be commercialized, it doesn't come with a release date and promotions. Whatever you choose to make, don't dare to call it a tribute! Have guts to accept that you are doing business using his name."



 


The video shows Shehnaaz in a foreign location, leading a lonely life and grieving the loss of Sidharth Shukla. It also takes viewers to the good old times of their fights, noke-jhoks and cute moments in the Bigg Boss 13 house. The video has very emotional moments. It also has a clip of the duo making a joint appearance for a television show.



 


While most SidNaaz fans were thrilled to watch the tribute, another section accused Shehnaa Gill as well of commercialising Sidharth's untimely death.
