He often used to chat with me through messages on WhatsApp."
Shankar further revealed that Sidharth Shukla used to keep asking about their well-being. He added, "During this lockdown, he used constantly message me. I got his last message a couple of months ago. He used to ask in the message Uncle, aunty do you need help?' 'Are you guys fine?' 'Can I help in any way?' He had forcibly sent Rs 20,000."
