Death

Shukla died on 2 September 2021 after suffering a heart attack at the age of 40.[75]

Initial speculations about the causes of his death looked at his smoking habits, but Shukla, who was a former chain smoker, had quit smoking by then, thus another reason being invoked was potential steroids abuse, especially as Shukla frequented the gym and aimed to keep a certain body image at his age;[76][77] this theory would be further substantiated when Shukla’s personal trainer during his last six years, Sonu Chaurasia, would state that, some two months before his death, Shukla told him that "his stomach had begun bloating because of the steroids and had to do something about it."[78]
