Born on 12 December 1980 in Mumbai, Siddharth, who earned a degree in interior designing, chose to switch gears in the modeling field, where he finished runner-up in the Gladrags Manhunt and Megamodel Contest in 2004.
The best phase of his career started in 2020 with the hit reality show ‘Bigg Boss 13’ which made him a fan like never before. His Angry Young Man avatar, his skirmishes with co-contestants including Asim Riaz, Rashami Desai and friendship with Shehnaaz Gill stole the limelight and won him the show.

Shukla was known to stay fit and also won the reality show, ‘Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 7’. He also hosted ‘Savdhaan India’ and ‘India’s Got Talent’.
