Bigg Boss / Raqesh Bapat comforts crying Shamita Shetty with a hug

In a new promo for Bigg Boss OTT,  Shamita Shetty was seen crying during a poolside while Raqesh Bapat tried to comfort her with a hug from the back.

The video began with Neha telling Shamita, “Bohot cheezein ho rahi hai aur ki jaa rahi hai jo sahi nahi hai. Roz ek-ek cheez aise uthti hai. Main bhi kal bohot upset thi, neend bhi nahi aa Rahi thi (A lot of things are happening and being done which are not right. Everyday, there is something or the other. I was also very upset yesterday, I couldn’t sleep) and I also sat here and cried.”

Neha said that Shamita could not change herself and the ones who were in the wrong would not change either. Neha then tried to cheer Shamita up with a compliment: “Rote hue bhi Sundar ho .”

Shamita and Raqesh’s closeness on the show has led to speculation of a romance brewing between them. In a Bigg Boss OTT promo shared by Voot on Saturday, she asked for a kiss from him and he instantly agreed. “Come here and give me a kiss right now,” she told him. Neha, who witnessed the exchange, remarked that it was a very sweet and genuine moment.

Raqesh is Shamita’s ‘connection’ in Bigg Boss OTT. A few days ago, while accepting a heart from her, he talked about how they developed an ‘understanding’ with each other despite having problems initially. “Mujhe Shamita bohot apni lagti hai (Shamita feels like one of my own) and I think I belong to her and she belongs to me,” Raqesh said.
