Om Shanti to departed soul ? This is happening too many times now & really needs investigation. The craze to build a gym body & pushing yourself beyond limits needs a reality check

Also, super-high protein based diets, ill-advised intermittent fasting and trainers who just push and push without understanding body types and limitations¡­ and stress to look good in reels¡­

Clearly there is a trend..and the trend appears more towards pushing ur body to its max limit in the gym as said by Vivek Sir here.

¡ª Navneeth (@navthika) November 11, 2022

In the rush to build a muscular body, people ignore the signal of the body itself. Overstretching the body beyond the limits is harmful. This and artificial diet to grow muscles,leads to such sad incidents.
RIP the deceased soul ??

Several actors took to share their emotions for the actor including his close friend who revealed Siddhaanth was in stress.

Vishwapreet Kaur told Hindustan Times, ¡°We don¡¯t know much. We were supposed to meet today (Friday) after the gym. He even came to my place a few days ago. He is a very dear friend of mine.

This city is stressful.¡±
