Bhasin added, "He was my best friend on the set. We would eat together; we would go out together after the pack-up. It was a beautiful time. It was a full circle of friendship as we had our own share of misunderstandings and some incidents. But I have always respected him for the man he was, especially to women."
Continuing the conversation, the Bigg Boss 14 fame referred to Sidharth as a 'gem of a person' and agreed how it breaks her heart to talk about him in the past tense. Jasmine asserted that she and the Bigg Boss 13 winner spent almost one and a half years together, making lots of cherished memories.
