It has been more than a month since Bigg Boss 13 winner Sidharth Shukla passed away and we are still trying to process the tragedy. Amidst all the grief, the late actor’s last venture, a music video featuring Shehnaaz Gill has come as a ray of sunshine
Recently, their song Habit dropped online and it left us sobbing within the first 10 seconds. Even though we do spend hours revisiting #SidNaaz’s cute moments from Bigg Boss 13, this last track has hit us hard. The track opens with a heartbreaking dedication to the Balika Vadhu star.
The music video has Shehnaaz standing on a stage reciting a short poem. “Bichhda iss qadar ki rut hi badal gayi, Ek shaks sare shehar ko viraan kar gaya (He left in a way that the season changed, a man left and the entire city became empty),” she recites.
The grief-stricken look on Shehnaaz’s face is hard to forget. Take a look at the song:
Just like us, social media users were also moved by the track and the music video. Netizens took to Twitter to express their take on the song. One user wrote, “We must remember, better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. If we have this attitude we can hold ourselves together during the hard times and rejoice that we have this awesome gift during the good times. #HabitFtSidNaazOutNow Broken heart #HabitOutNow #HabitFtSidNaaz”
Another one tweeted, “#SidharthShukla thank you for always making me remember your smiling face Thank you #ShehnaazGill for being his sherni & giving us another beautiful memory of him smiling, laughing loving his work, you & naariyl pani watching him again just the way he was!”
Interestingly Habit has been edited from the footage of the unfinished song that Sidharth and Shehnaaz shot for. The track was initially named Adhura, but later the name was changed after #SidNaaz fans requested it.
The song left us with a bittersweet feeling. The lyrics of the track sums it perfectly for us, “Dil Todne Ka Habit Hai Toh Dil, Tod De Na Soneya (If you have a habit of breaking hearts, break heart then)”
