Bigg Boss has developed quite the cult following in India, primarily because each year the show brings with it a whole host of controversies. The latest season of the show has begun and just a day into it, the Pandora’s box of controversies has been opened.
Akansha Sharma, one of the contestants, just revealed that she was in fact married to Zorawar, the younger brother of Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh. However, just four months into the marriage, she left the house and accused her mother-in-law, Shabnam Singh, of ill-treating her.
Upon hearing the allegations made against her, Shabnam Singh was furious and had this to say about her former daughter-in-law.
“First of all, this matter is sub judice and she (Akansha) is not allowed to speak. It goes under the contempt of court. There’s a special petition I had filed. Anyone can understand the agenda here and everybody knows it. We are not allowed to speak on this matter.”
Yuvraj’s mother wondered why Akansha did not come forward with these allegations earlier and found the timing to be suspicious.
Shabnam Singh dismissed the allegations and stated that the divorce against Akansha was filed by them and not the other way round.
“Those who know me well it’s not that I would do something like that. People must know that we were the ones who first filed the divorce because we had some really strong reasons, so I had to do it.”
The divorce settlement is still pending in the court. However, it begs the question, what other controversies about the cricketer’s family may be brought to light on the reality show?
