Bigg Boss 15: Salman Khan asks Rakhi Sawant if she hired a husband for the show, Ritesh defends her saying, 'It was my fault'

Salman Khan was introduced to his ‘brother-in-law’ Ritesh by Bigg Boss 15 contestant Rakhi Sawant who entered the house recently with her husband. The actress’ has had to face an endless amount of trolling after her marriage in 2019 after she decided to keep her husband’s identity a secret while sharing only her picture for the wedding.

This Weekend Ka Vaar Salman Khan in jest echoed the sentiments of many others as he quizzed Rakhi if the Ritesh who entered the house with her is her real husband.  “Is he really your husband, or have you hired him,” Salman is seen asking Rakhi on the show.

“No, no, he is my ‘pati parmeshwar, my only husband,” Rakhi said in reply and introduced him to the superstar host she called Ritesh Salman’s ‘brother-in-law’.

Ritesh who face has finally been revealed to the world (something that he had strictly not wanted till now) then spoke to Salman and admitted that he had asked Rakhi not to share his pictures on social media as he was doubtful about how it would affect his profession. Ritesh said he hails from Bihar but has been living in Belgium where he’s a software engineer.

Defending Rakhi Ritesh told Salman, “Rakhi never lies. Whatever she has said, it’s 100 percent true. It was my fault that I couldn’t accept her before, as I was too cautious with my profession and asked her to hold off. It was Rakhi’s maturity to adhere to this, and I asked her to not make my photos viral, and she had to face a lot of insults because of this.” 

Post Ritesh’s entry several pictures him were splattered across social media where he can be seen roaming about the house and also celebtaing Rakhi’s birthday with the housemates. Many fans of the show like Salman were seen casting doubt over his identity where they even accused Rakhi or hiring a man to play her husband.
