"Sidharth Mujhe Bohot Maturity Deke Gaye Hai"

Speaking about her journey after Sidharth's demise, she said, "Sidharth mujhe bohot maturity deke gaye hai. Jab woh sab kuch hua, uske baad mein mature ho gayi hoon. Nahi toh mein wahi Bigg Boss wali hoti, kisi duniya ki parwah nahi, kuch nahi."

She shared that the girl the audiences saw on 'Bigg Boss 13' had gone through many struggles, but nothing compared to the kind of loss she experienced after Sidharth's passing. He said, "I was carefree, impulsive, and happy-go-lucky, that innocence changed after he left."

"Life Has Changed Me..."

Further in the podcast, Shehnaaz shared that she often comes across old Bigg Boss clips on social media and feels shocked at how much she has changed since then. “Sometimes I see those reels and think, ‘Main kya thi? Main aise thi?' Life has changed me. That girl was different, spontaneous and cheerful. Zindagi apne aap badal gayi, aur mere bhai ne bhi mujhe badal diya," she said.

After 'Bigg Boss 13', Shehnaaz carved a steady path for herself in the industry. Her professional graph has only gone upwards. From featuring in music albums, doing Bollywood film with 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan', and was recently seen in the 'Punjabi movie Ikk Kudi', she has tapped all the mediums.
