Hyderabad (Telangana): Actor-model Raqesh Bapat had to leave the Bigg Boss 1 5 house on medical grounds. The fans of the actor were hopeful of his comeback in the show as they were apparently looking forward to more 'ShaRa' (celebrity nickname for Raqesh, Shmita Shetty) moments in the house. With an official statement on his exit from Bigg Boss 15, Raqesh, however, made it clear that he is not returning to the show.
Ex-Bigg Boss OTT contestant Raqesh, who was a wild card entry on Bigg Boss 15, was forced by health issues to leave the house last week. While reports of his ladylove Shamita Shetty's exit from the show are also making the headlines, Raqesh has issued a statement and cleared the air on his exit from the show.
On Monday, Raqesh took to his Instagram handle and shared a statement that reads, "To My Family, I call all of you family because this connection you and I have is truly by the heart! I feel blessed to have all of you in my life, sending me prayers, blessings, good wishes and s0 much positivity. Sometimes life throws curve balls at you at important junctures and such has been my case. Your love pulled me back into the Bigg Boss house and yet the stay was short-lived because of health issues that cropped up. A health issue from 5 years ago has cropped up, unforeseen and painful."

He concluded the post on a positive note and a promise of continuing the journey with his admirers.
"We both (he and Shamita) are proud to have all of you in our lives and for us the Lens of positivity is most important! So keep the positivity flowing.....Remember if it wasn't for my health I would be entertaining you inside the house. I never wanted to leave without a proper good bye but little did I know in that pain, that this would become my exit! Yet all I can say is this was one small part of the journey, our connection continues for a life time as I'm looking forward to being back on my feet soon to entertain all of you! Que Sera Sera...Lots of Love, RaQ," wrote the actor.
Meanwhile, Shamita Shetty is also out of the Bigg Boss 15 house because of medical reasons, if reports circulating on social media are anything to go by. The news definitely comes as a double blow to Shamita-Raqesh fans, who were so looking forward to seeing where they were headed after having a whirlpool of romance in Bigg Boss OTT debut season.
