Bigg Boss 15: Raqesh Bapat on entering as wildcard: "I feel Shamita is alone, so I really wanted to go in"

Bigg Boss OTT finalist Raqesh Bapat will be seen entering the Bigg Boss 15 house on Friday and joining his lady love Shamita Shetty who he feels is lonely in the show. The actor and Shamita met on Bigg Boss OTT in August and were quick to admit that they liked one another. Despite their ups and downs the two made their relationship official after exiting the show.

Raqesh who has been extending support to Shamita from the outside for so long before entering told Pinkvilla in an interview why he said yes to being a wildcard on Bigg Boss 15. “People are waiting for me to enter again. Somewhere I wrapped my head around it now, I was not ready before. I had commitments from which I am free now. Also, I feel Shamita (Shetty) is alone, so I really wanted to go in."

Looking forward to spend time with Shamita in the house, Raqesh said, “I am looking forward to strengthening the bond for sure. I feel it’s a very organic way to go ahead. Obviously there is eventuality, so this is what it is,” and added that he hardly got to spend time with Shamita after Bigg Boss OTT where they spent weeks together.

The promo teasing Raqesh’s entry is already out. The actor will be seen dressed as a gorilla entering the house and surprise Shamita who is seen busy greeting Neha Bhasin who is the second wildcard. Shamita’s expression on seeing Raqesh is one of shock and awe and they greet each other with an ‘I love you’.
