Earlier, when the news of Sidharth Shukla's demise has broken, Anushka Sharma had consoled the actor's death in an Instagram post.
Actor-producer Anushka Sharma on Friday took to her Instagram stories to amplify stand-up comedian Zakir Khan's post talking about celebrity deaths becoming a 'tamasha'. Zakir's post comes at a time when the media has been covering actor Sidharth Shukla's death and giving live updates about the 'Bigg Boss 13' winner's last rites, reporting about his distraught family including writing about and sharing photos of the late star's rumoured girlfriend Shehnaaz Gill.
Zakir Khan had shared the post with the caption, "Mann bada waisa sa ho raha hai aaj…..(The heart doesn't feel right today.....)."
Zakir's verse in Hindi, which was amplified by Anushka Sharma, roughly translates to - "They don't think of you as a human being. Not because there aren't any lines or boundaries. Your corpse is not a body without soul, but an opportunity to click pictures. As many as they can click. It's similar to how people try to steal crockery from houses burning in a riot. Because after that, what use will you be? At most, 10 pictures, five news pieces, three videos, two stories, one post. That's it."
The verse further reads, "That's why your death will only be a 'show' for them. Your crying mother is a show, your heartbroken father who is in deep pain, is a show, your depressed sister, your brother who has lost all hope, anyone who loves you, is a mere spectacle. It would have been another thing had you been alive. After you, your crying loved ones are who will quench their thirst. I'm just saying that this is the life you and I have chosen. Maybe you will regret it a little less if you accept this fact while you're alive. That's why you should stay happy with your friends, love your people, learn new things, make new relationships. Just don't live for them. Whatever time you have left, live for yourself. Because for them, you aren't even human."
Earlier, when the news of Sidharth Shukla's demise has broken, Anushka had consoled the actor's death in an Instagram post. "Rest in peace Sidharth Shukla. My heartfelt deepest condolences to his family and friends," she had written.

For the unversed, this is not the first time Anushka Sharma has taken a dig at the paps for allegedly invading the privacy of celebrities. Back when she was pregnant, she has called out a media outlet for clicking pictures of her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli and her unwinding on their Mumbai's home's balcony.
