Rahul had also met Sidharth's mother and revealed that she had tears in her eyes but held herself up bravely. He said, " “Sidharth was a different kind of person, he would not even like us mourning for him and I met his mother today who is also such a strong woman. She had tears in her eyes but she was strong and told me ‘death is obvious and but said itna jaldi nahi hona chahiye tha.’ She is a mother and how can any mother see her son go away in her lifetime."

Rahul Mahajan and Sidharth Shukla had a shared interest in spirituality and would often talk about the subject.
