Chandigarh, September 4

TV actor Kushal Tandon has decided to quit social media as he announced his exit on Friday in a post on Instagram. His post reads, “Off this so called social media….Until then stay human… in ‘social’ and in your ‘family’.”

In his recent stories, the former Bigg Boss contestant shared that he was dismayed by the way media reported late actor Sidharth Shukla’s death. Sharing images from the funeral, Kushal wrote on Instagram, “This is shameful! The media houses all alike should be ashamed of this kind of coverage! Hang ur heads if this is what u do to someone who has lost a loved one! Be ashamed, very ashamed All media houses, u are only about sensationalizing even tragedy!”

He even slammed those who used the tragedy as an opportunity to get clicked, “Hang your head in shame. Disgusted with everything that is going on. If u really wanna pay respect say a lil prayer for the departed soul, rather than making this an opportunity to be clicked! #Youknowwhoyouare #Sad I am sorry sid! Rest in peace super star."

Remembering Sidharth Shukla, Kushal Tandon had shared a video with him and wrote, “And what we leave behind? Love, warmth, passion , conduct and deep compassion for each other. Why is it difficult to follow when we are alive? Life is unpredictable, love more , judge less , love and remember people more often when they are around you not when they are gone ....gone to soon my brother , see you on the other side , give my love to sushanth , see you on the other side , chill with angels happiness and more peace afterlife.”

Actors Suyyash Rai, Rahul Vaidya and Gauhar Khan too called out those who treated Sidharth’s death as a means to gain publicity.

Sidharth was cremated at the Oshiwara crematorium on Friday afternoon in the presence of his family, friends and colleagues. He died on Thursday morning at the age of 40.
