Actor and Bigg Boss 13 winner Sidharth Shukla turned 40 on December 12, 2020. However, his big day turned out to be a controversial one when a video surfaced on social media and went viral. In the said video, the man shooting it is seen accusing Sidharth of beating a roadside man under the influence of alcohol.
