Jasleen Matharu, who had earlier visited Sidharth's house to extend her condolences to the actor's family, told Pinkvilla that Shehnaaz is 'not in a good state'. "She was just sitting at a place, blank, nothing to say, lost in her world. I went up to her, tried talking but all she asked me to do was to sit next to her. I saw how disturbed she was and asked her to sleep. Exhausted, she fell off to sleep. I met her brother, Shehbaaz who is thankfully there for and with her in this grim hour. He will take good care of Shehnaaz, I am sure," Jasleen had said. 

Even Rahul Mahajan had said that Shehnaaz had gone completely pale as if a storm had passed by and washed everything away.
