Shilpa Shetty’s sister Shamita Shetty will be seen as a contestant on a controversial reality show, Bigg Boss OTT. On Sunday evening, during the premiere of the show, Shamita told host Karan Johar that she was in two minds about joining the show after recent events, hinting at her brother-in-law Raj Kundra’s arrest.
In a video from the show’s premiere shared online, the actress said, “Waqt achcha ho, bura ho, jab hum saans lena nahi chhodte toh hum kaam kyun chhode? And honestly, Bigg Boss ka offer mujhe bohot time pehle aaya tha aur maine commitment kar di thi uss waqt (Whether in good times or bad times, when we don’t stop breathing, so why should we stop working? And honestly, I committed to Bigg Boss long ago, when I was approached).”
“Phir itna kuch ho gaya aur maine definitely socha ki shayad iss waqt Bigg Boss ke ghar ke andar jaana sahi nahi hoga but commitment kar di thi maine aur ek baar jo maine commitment karti hoon toh main khud ki bhi nahi sunti (But then so much happened that I definitely thought that maybe this is not the right time to go inside the Bigg Boss house but I had already committed to the show and once I make a commitment, nothing can stop me from honoring it),” Shamita added.
On July 19th, Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra was arrested by the Mumbai Police as a key conspirator in the production and streaming of pornographic content through paid mobile applications. Shilpa recently issued a statement in the same matter.
After Shilpa released her statement, Shamita extended her support to Shilpa and wrote in the comments section, “I love u my munki and with you always (heart emojis) through thick n thin .. always (heart emojis) @theshilpashetty.”
For the unversed, Shamita was a contestant in Bigg Boss in 2009. The actress entered on the first day and withdrew on the 34th day.
Other than Shamita, the contestant list of Bigg Boss OTT includes stars like Zeeshan Khan, Akshara Singh, Neha Bhasin, Radhika Pandit, and others. The premiere of the show went on air on VOOT at 8 PM on Sunday and viewers can watch the episodes at 7 pm from Mon-Sat.
