As someone who has closely followed the vibrant world of Bollywood and politics for years, I must say that the tragic demise of Baba Siddique has left a profound impact. His larger-than-life persona, warm bond with celebrities, and tireless service to the people of Maharashtra made him a unique figure in both spheres.

This notable political figure had a close relationship with numerous celebrities, which is evident in the glamorous Iftar parties he hosted. Consequently, several stars expressed their sympathies for his passing on social media.
