Before watching BB13 I used to think that people should confess their love if it’s what they feel. Agar pyaar karte Ho kisi se, to bolne me kya harj he? I love you bol ke b dikha na chahiye na? But when I watched BB13, my thinking completely changed. /1
Sidharth was the one who changed this. We didn’t see/weren’t shown bold confessions, massive proposals or cliche speeches from Sidharth. But you know what? I’m glad we didn’t. What we saw was a lot deeper and beautiful than all that. We saw his love in his actions. /2
We saw it in his holding her hand, his forehead kisses, his tight squeezes, in him being unable to sleep peacefully without her, pampering her, massaging her feet, complimenting her to make her feel special like every girl wishes to be, being able to stand everything; - /3
- her anger, her endless chatter, having to manao her; but never her tears - they made him crumble. We saw it in his being there for her whenever she was down or when people were against her, his hating seeing her sit in the company of wrong people, his protectiveness, /4
- his roothna and then maanjaana. He would say he couldn’t do the things she expected of him, but he did do it. He did everything how she wanted, and she had said this as well.He was naraz when he thought she was being used or would only end up hurt, it was always her wellbeing/5
- that made him concerned. He made his verbal confessions a few times too, which always gave us a little insight, be it his “I like you, that’s the problem”, his “I like nothing but everything (about her). That’s the beauty of it”, his “I love you too”, his “ese nahi bol sakta/6
-mein”, in every “baby, sweetheart, darling, meri jaan, moti baby, moti, gadhi, Sana, Shehnaaz”. We saw his care and his love and protection in everything he did with her. Putting his leg on hers like he was protecting her from danger, playing with her fingers, fixing her hair/7
,fixing her bindhi on finale day, wiping her tears, taking her to SK when everyone else was busy celebrating, taking her to HK when she was most vulnerable, his watery eyes when she broke down at her arrival, his looking pained when she was in pain. How can you overlook that? /8
And this was something Shehnaaz noticed. She always knew he felt for her too due to all these things. He would ask her questions, interview her, play, run around with her, let her do whatever she wanted to. She gave him the haq to do it all: be it scold her or hold her close. /9
And she did all this because she trusted him. He didn’t have to do bare bol or tell her he loved her 500 times a day for her to know it. He showed it. There was no way someone would do those things if they didn’t love the other person. He made sure all the contestants on MSK /10
- were okay for her to be around, he helped her adjust to living in Mumbai, he took days off and organised her birthday with her family and made sure she had the best time ever, he was the first to wish her for 2 years, he got her the most caring and loving team and /11
- everything he did was so well thought and planned. Today, she is in safe hands and his family are still supporting her, he gave her the haq to be a member of the shukla family and they accepted her wholeheartedly. Even in his physical absence, he left her a support system /12
- so strong that she is doing so well right now, Mashallah. He wanted her to grow as a person and she did. Today she finds sukoon in the things he used to. What is better than that? After all that, so you really think he need to say the three words? /13
And he was the sweetest to her. He talked to her gently and kindly and was so patient. This thread is for all those who maybe don’t find it easy to say how they feel, and instead resort to actions to show it. Perhaps it was because I was younger and childish before /14
- watching BB13, but I seriously used to think if you can’t say it, there’s no point of thinking you love someone. But when I watched the show, and I fell in love with the man that Sidharth Shukla is and SidNaaz, I realised that the weight of actions is much larger than /15
- the weight of words. Anyone can say “I love you” but not everyone can live up to it. And our Naaz, I will talk about her in the next thread, because this is not long enough for me to discuss both halves of our world, and there is a lot to be appreciated on both sides. /16
The main message of this is to say that Sidharth Shukla, you proved me wrong. I lost to you. I’d like to think the part of the young woman that I feel proud to grow up and be is inspired by you, and I hope you’re proud of that. Thank you for showing me that actions are much /17
- weightier than words. That all men don’t suck at love. That a real man will bring the world and more to you without complaining. Thank you for showing me what a man in love looks like. Thank you for showing me that my standard should be much higher than it once was. /18
For showing me that if you love someone, you should make sure they know it, that they’re confident and secure in their knowledge even without having to say it. For showing me that it’s so easy to say “I love you” but so hard to actually do it. Thank you. Sidharth. /18
Because of you, I won’t be a dilphenk who falls for a namoona who cheaply flirts with her and says silly pickup lines and I love you’s 50 times a day but can’t even be there for me in my hard times. I’ll look for a respectful man who loves his mother more than anyone /19
- else, who values his parents and does everything to keep their heads high, who might playfully fight with his sisters but will always know the importance of women and stand up for them, who will always care for me and protect me, who will be the most hospitable to my own /20
- parents, who will treat me like I’m the most precious girl on the earth, who won’t tell me to mature or be someone I’m not but encourage me to be myself and accept me and my inner bacha just the way I am. Thank you, Sidharth. I wish more men learnt from you and I’ll make /21
- sure I teach my brother to be just like you one day❤️
Also, his being happy whenever Naaz achieved something, when she was praised by guests, when her MV got 10M views, when she returned from her drive so giddy after receiving so much love, when SK spoke to her. Laughing the loudest at her jokes, cheering the loudest when she -
- was doing a task, believing in her and her popularity and never taking advantage of it, wanting to be top 2 with her. These were so so pure. I think Sidharth and Shehnaaz both have matching all white hearts. Pure souls. We really witnessed the purest love in this day and age.
- And his making her chai exactly how she liked it. It’s the little things that count because they’re a part of the bigger picture. Without these things, there is no foundation or substance to love. Pyaar karne aur bolne me boht farak Hota he.

Just a few minutes ago, the world was overwhelmed with joy and now tremendous grief. Heartbroken. I’m so sorry, Rayan. May Allah grant you the highest rank in Jannat ul Firdaus and grant your parents sabr. Ameen.
Subha se Rita Aunty ke baare me soch ri hu. Ek maa ke liye apne bachon ko apni life me jaate dekhna, that’s unimaginable. They go through so much to keep their child alive for 9 months, then raise them to mature and eventually be capable of living without their parents. It’s -
- never supposed to be the child going so soon for a mother. A mother’s worst nightmare is losing her child. Sidharth is her entire world. They’d never been away from each other for longer than 4.5 months in BiggBoss and now it’s been 5. At least then she could see him, hear -
- him, and know how he was doing. I haven’t watched Sidharth’s family round since he went. I can’t. I can’t think of Rita Aunty’s pain, neither do I have a remedy for it. This will be her first birthday without her son. Her son who people idolise as a role model son. Her son -
