Shehbaz Badesha claims Sidharth Shukla's fans would save him from BB19 nominations.
It all started when Shehbaz, who joined as a wildcard contender, avoided being nominated for elimination even once, as highlighted on Weekend Ka Vaar. At the conclusion of the episode, he was heard telling Amaal Mallik, “Main bhi ek baar nominations main aakar dekhna chahta hoon, kya hota hai mere saath. Hain, bethe hai fir Sidharth Shukla ke fans bhi mere saath. Jo winner hai naa iss show ka, uski fan following bethi hai mere saath...”

A Social media user responded to Shehbaz's comments, saying, "This is the most cheap tactics he used. He may have adored Sid and created a tattoo of him, but how can he utter such things? "Khud ke fans banao kisi aur ke fans labhi nehi jeetate hai."
Another said, "What an opportunist!!" On what grounds do you want to receive support from Sidharth fans? Because he was his sister's boyfriend?! Why would you want to use fans of someone who has passed away? You are only exploiting his name for clout!!"
A other person said, "He is not a family member of Sidharth Shukla, still he is using Sidharth's name...." Another remark stated, "If a clown had a face." It's Shehbaz and his family. Sid ka nam pe abhi tak chal rahe hai."
