Everyone was really surprised to finally see Rakhi Sawant’s husband in Bigg Boss. The mysterious man, Ritesh, told Salman Khan he is originally from Bihar and works as a software professional in Belgium. Now, we are seeing Rakhi and Ritesh onscreen for the first time, and witnessing how their dynamic as a couple affects others.
Rakhi Sawant usually brings a lot of laughs when she enters Bigg Boss, but this time, when she entered as a VIP contestant with Ritesh, things took an uncomfortable turn. There have been a lot of fights between the couple and other contestants, and there’s still a lot of discomfort in the house because of the two. Let’s see why that might be.
Rakhi had an altercation with Rajiv Adatia because she is a VIP contestant
n one clip from the show, we see Rakhi discussing utensil-related chores with Shamita Shetty. A new contestant, Rajiv Adatia, entered the conversation and said, “Rakhi, you can only assign the duties, but you can’t intervene in what’s happening in the kitchen.”
Rakhi fired back at Rajiv, saying he should not work with the kitchen team, and accused him of spitting in the food. She also said he should listen to her as she is a VIP. Rajiv replied, saying, “Gandi baat bol rahe ho aap,” to which Rakhi responded, “Main VIP hoon, main bolungi!” Eek!
Umar Riaz shut down Ritesh’s attempts to throw his weight around as a VIP
Rakhi and Ritesh got into another altercation about beds with Umar Riaz, whose brother Asim has been a contestant in Bigg Boss before. Rakhi wanted Umar to give up his bed to VIP contestant Abhijit Bichukale. Umar refused to give in to their demands about the bed situation, following which Ritesh yelled at Umar.
The latter clapped back saying he doesn’t care about their VIP status. Ritesh then told him to try and remove their VIP star badges, to which, a very savage and unbothered Umar responded, “Star kya, tujhe bhi utha ke fek dunga.”
We believe the term ‘shooketh’ was coined to describe how this moment made us feel!
Karan Kundrra had an intense war of words with Rakhi & Ritesh about THEIR marriage
The couple’s disagreements with housemates did not end there. There were some very serious things said between them and Karan Kundrra. Rakhi accused Karan and Tejasswi of faking their relationship. The indignation Karan felt then was clear, because he replied, “Shaadi karke bhaaga s**la, teen saal baad aya.”
Rakhi did not take that lying down, and told Karan, “Tune saari ladkiyon ko dhoka diya hai. Tu kya saath nibhaega? Tu bhagauda hai.”
Even Salman Khan asked Rakhi if she’d hired someone to play her husband
It’s one thing for contestants to be weirded out by each other, and another for the host to question them. During a Weekend Ka Vaar segment, Salman Khan quizzed Rakhi on Ritesh: “Is he really your husband, or have you hired him?” to which Rakhi said, “No, no, he is my pati parmeshwar, my only husband.” It’s all still very awkward, clearly.
