I'm dead inside without you: Deep Sidhu's girlfriend shares emotional post
Days after Deep Sidhu's death, the late actor's girlfriend Reena Rai has shared an emotional post on Instagram recalling the 'heart-wrenching' incident in which the Punjabi actor and activist died.
Sharing a heartfelt note, Reena Rai wrote: "120 Hours. That's all the time it took from living a life full of joy and love to experiencing heart-wrenching loss. In 120 hours, I flew to India, celebrated Valentine's Day, got into a fatal car accident, lost the love of my life, ended up in the hospital, and flew back home broken."

"I know everyone has a lot of questions and I'll do my best to answer them," she wrote.
Adding, Reena Rai wrote: "Deep and I fell in love after meeting on the set of Rang Punjab in 2018. Deep was the most loving, compassionate, and selfless person that I had ever met. His passion for life was contagious. Our friendship grew throughout the making of the movie. During breaks from filming, we would spend hours chatting about our lives, friends, families, and dreams."
"Last Sunday, I flew into Delhi to begin a few projects and celebrate Valentine's Day with Deep since we missed celebrating it last year. It was a magical day that I will always hold dear to my heart. The next day we decided to head out to Punjab before heading home to Mumbai. We packed up our luggage, loaded the Scorpio, and headed out. Deep and I chatted for some time and then I decided to take a nap since I was still jet-lagged. I reclined my seat back, took off my shoes, and fell asleep. All I remember next is being thrown violently from the seat, hitting the airbag, and landing in the footrest," she wrote.
"My back felt like it was on fire and I was in complete and utter shock. I looked up and saw Deep not moving. I prayed to Waheguru and asked him to give me the strength to help him. I kept yelling "Deep, Wake Up!" I was finally able to get up and move his chin towards me. The right side of his face was completely covered in blood. I felt faint, leaned back, and started yelling for help. A bystander came and pulled me out of the Scorpio and laid me on the ground," Reena Rai added.
"While lying there, I had someone call Mandeep and begged whoever was around to help Deep. He was stuck in the front seat and the car cabin was crushed around him. After the first ambulance arrived, I was put in there for what felt like 30 minutes. I watched as bystanders and paramedics frantically tried and were finally successful in freeing Deep from the Scorpio. The paramedics rushed Deep into the second ambulance and we were both transported to the hospital. I kept asking anyone I saw how Deep was doing and everyone kept telling me he was okay. Something in my heart was telling me differently and I kept calling out for him," said Deep Sidhu's girlfriend.
"My family in the US didn't tell me about Deep's passing until I was able to have a family member next to me in the hospital. Finally, after about five hours, my cousin arrived at the hospital from Punjab. At my family's direction, I was transferred to the National Heart Institute in Delhi to get more tests done. It was there that my family told me Deep had passed. Heartbroken and in shock, I was discharged from the hospital. At the urging of my family, I flew back to the US to receive medical care and am now recovering at home from a spinal fracture. My family hopes that a complete inquiry will be made into Deep's cause of death and ways to prevent this tragic accident from happening to anyone else," Rai wrote.
"To my Deep, I'm dead inside without you. I miss you so much. You promised me you wouldn't leave me in any life but you left me here all alone. I'm broken. I'm sad. I'm mad. Why did you leave me? I just want you in my arms and to hear you whisper I love you my Jaan. The only comfort I have is knowing your death has inspired a generation to pick up your cause and shape the future of Punjab. You always told me that great change requires great sacrifice. So go my Jaan, fulfill your destiny. Inspire the world. I'll miss you and will forever love you. Soul mates don't leave each other. I'll see you on the other side," Deep Sidhu's girlfriend Reena Rai wrote post-Deep Sidhu's death.
