Hyderabad: Shamita Shetty and Raqesh Bapat's connection in the Bigg Boss OTT house is matured, well-behaved and the most adored connection in the house. During a recent episode, Raqesh confessed his love for Shamita with whom he has made a strong bond. While Raqesh and Shamita are in a happy space now, his former wife Ridhi Dogra has opened up on the much-talked-about love story in the Bigg Boss OTT house.
In an interview with a leading daily, Ridhi was asked how she feels about Raqesh and Shamita having declared that they would like to explore their relationship once they step out of the show. "I am happy if Raqesh is happy. It's his personal space," she said. Ridhi also said that she enjoys watching Raqesh on the show and added, "He is the kind of person that you are seeing on the show. If there are more than two people, it's a crowd for him. He doesn't like to scream and shout to say what he wants to, instead he talks to people that he is comfortable with and trusts. On the other hand, Nishant is playing really well and he is also a friend of mine. I know he wanted to be part of this show and he is doing an excellent job. He is entertaining so well and I feel that I am watching my friends' show with Nishant, Raqesh and earlier Ridhima being a part of it."

On a related note, Shamita's mother who visited the house recently has seemingly approved of Raqesh. During her visit she said that Raqesh is "such a sweet man, he's a gentleman". Shamita and Raqesh appeared to have hit some sort of rough patch some time ago, and Shamita admitted to host Karan Johar that she is "very confused" about the situation and that maybe Raqesh "wants out".
After the eviction of singer Neha Bhasin, the five remaining contestants -- Pratik Sehjpal, Divya Agarwal, Nishant Bhat, Raqesh and Shamita are all working hard to look glamorous and raise the show's oomph quotient. As Bigg Boss OTT nears its finale, clearing the way for the television format to be hosted by Salman Khan, the latest news from the house is that Riteish Deshmukh and his wife Genelia will share the spotlight with the host Karan Johar on Saturday, September 18.
