Trainer Sonu Chourasia said, “This was about two months ago and he took a break of 15 days as the doctors told him not to exert his feet. And that time he did tell me that his stomach had begun bloating because of the steroids and had to do something about it.”.

Sonu also said that Sidharth had rejoined training after treatment but he still had a problem. The trailer further added, “He still had a problem as he could only do straight running but sideways was difficult so we had to do some physio exercises to correct it.”.

Several reports state that his alleged overexertion of workouts could be the reason behind Sidharth Shukla’s death.
