He told ETimes, "She had gone completely pale as if a storm had just passed by and washed away everything."


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.
