Paras Chhabra shared a video on Instagram from the virtual prayer meeting where Brahma Kumaris sister Shivani is seen talking about Sidharth’s mother, Rita Shukla, and how she showed strength after his demise. She is heard saying, “When I spoke to Rita aunty on September 2, she just said ‘Om Shanti’. There was so much strength in that ‘Om Shanti’. I kept thinking where did she get this strength from. When I asked her how she is doing, she told me ‘I just have one wish from the Almighty, he should stay happy wherever he is.’”
Sharing this video, Paras Chhabra wrote, “Rita aunty more power to you aur Ye sunne ke baad I got some power Thank you for this beautiful satsang #RIPsidharthshukla.”
