Famous TV actress Vaishnavi Macdonald, known for playing the mother of late actor Sidharth Shukla in Colors TV’s Dil Se Dil Tak, has made startling allegations regarding him, discussing his abusive conduct on set.

The actor’s on-screen mother alleged that Sidharth mistreated both his female co-stars, Rashami Desai and Jasmin Bhasin.

Vaishnavi told Siddharth Kannan about the conduct of Dil Se Dil Tak cast members on set and beyond.

She shared, "I felt uneasy when he talked about Rashami and everything going on with her. I’m not saying Rashami is an exceptional human or anything, but she is quite pleasant to collaborate with, and she used to get along well with everyone on set; we would eat together, and I have never witnessed Rashami misbehaving on set; she has never acted inappropriately. Indicates that she desires what she wants, regardless of the method, though she previously expressed her requests differently. While I've never witnessed her being abusive on set, this guy (Sidharth Shukla) resorted to very vulgar language. Thus, what was portrayed in Bigg Boss was completely contrary to reality.”

Vaishnavi elaborated, “I can’t recall the details precisely, but back then, there was something happening, and she was being portrayed very negatively, as if she were the troublemaker, and so on, but he (Sidharth) did not exhibit respect towards women on set. He showed a lack of respect to both Rashami Desai and Jasmin Bhasin. At times, he would befriend Rashami, and other times Jasmin, and together they would team up to tease the other (Rashami and Jasmin) on set.

Highlighting the events, Vaishnavi stated, “Ragging occurred, and vulgar language was employed.”

Vaishnavi mentioned that such events occurred on set openly, and when questioned about why she didn’t intervene, she mentioned it felt odd.

She remembered a time when his shot was set, yet he glared at her. Additionally, Rashami and Jasmin often joked about his behavior, which might have led her to remain silent as she did not want the producers to go in losses.
