Actor Raqesh Bapat, who is one of the contestants of Bigg Boss OTT, is well-known on Indian TV. Just like his professional life, Raqesh’s personal life has also made noise. He was married to his Maryada co-star Ridhi Dogra; however, the marriage did not sustain for long as they called it quits after seven years. As they have parted ways in an amicable way, they still maintain a good friendship. Amidst all this, before entering the house, Bapat was asked his views if his former wife enters the house. To which, he said he will have a great company in the house.
Talking to india.com, Raqesh said, “Oh! Why not! We still are friends. She knows that I am doing this and she is also busy with her commitments.” He added, “Everything between us was out there in open so there’s nothing to hide as such. She is a great friend. I’ll have a great company.”
Considering that people are often seen attacking each other with personal remarks in the house, so when he was asked how he'll handle the personal attacks by his co-contestants, the actor told SpotboyE.com, "My marriage and divorce are all in the open. We amicably had a very natural course of getting out of it and still are very respectful towards each other - no mudslinging happened or is going to happen. Nobody's pelting stones on each other.”
Raqesh also mentioned that his ex-wife is worried for him as he is very different from the people who go inside. Giving her an assurance of being okay, Raqesh only asked her to wish him luck.
Raqesh Bapat is sharing the Bigg Boss house with other contestants like Pratik Sehajpal, Divya Agarwal, Neha Bhasin, Zeeshan Khan, Ridhima Pandit, Milind Gaba, Urfi Javed, Zeeshan Khan, Karan Nath, Nishant Bhat and Akshara Singh.
