Did actor Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi use drugs and steroids?

MUMBAI: A gym trainer associated with the gym frequented regularly by Tv actor Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi where he suffered a heart attack and passed away on Friday morning has made a shocking statement and indirectly alleged that the late actor was taking steroids for bodybuilding.

According to the gym trainer who requested anonymity, “there are one or two trainers in the same gym who encourage their clients to take drugs and steroids for bodybuilding. They also offer them non-prescription or without prescription illegally procured steroid medication for pain and other related sprains or injuries while doing heavy workouts in the gym? Many bodybuilders do not know what they are taking and blindly follow the advice of the gym trainers. Since the incentives and pay packages of the gym trainers depend on the bodybuilding results of their clients and the new clients they bring it, they are under pressure to get their clients to perform. Hence they offer their clients certain medications to relieve pain or increase endurance and workout time, very often without telling the clients what the products are. There is so much blind faith and trust in the gym trainers that the bodybuilders will even consume poison if it is given to them by a gym trainer in the guise that the product is good for them,” said the trainer.

TV actor Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi who passed away on Friday while working out at a gym at Andheri West in suburban Mumbai was under a lot of stress according to his friends and was possibly also suffering from hypertension and high blood pressure.

Sources claimed the actor was allegedly taking unknown injections, boosters and other steroid-like drugs to help him with his workout and training routine, lose fat and maintain a lean and muscular look.

Another gym trainer alleged that Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi could have consumed a combination of products along with caffeine-containing energy drinks that could have triggered a brain stroke or heart attack.
