So I sideloaded few apps that are already present in playstore. But whenever I go to my updates menu , I can see all my apps installed via playstore as well as side loaded. Is there a way to stop this?

I don’t know about this anymore, but back in the day Titanium Backup had a “detach from market” feature you might try. Only works on rooted phones but since you are side loading apps I’m guessing that’s a step you’ve already taken.
It has been several years and probably 8 Android versions since I used Titanium Backup but it could still be there
It’s still there, but hasn’t worked in ages. The Play Store rebuilds its app database multiple times a day, which finds the detached apps again.
Damn. Well that was my shot
Side loading of apps doesn’t require root 😉
