Bigg Boss OTT 3 fame Shivani Kumari says she faced discrimination on the show: ‘I did feel inferior…’

When asked about contestants not liking her, Shivani Kumari said, “All of my group members Sana Makbul, Lovekesh, Vishal, we would joke, but they would keep removing faults in us. I was being myself. At the start, I was loud, but I don’t know what was so serious about it that Ranvir so strongly disliked me. I apologized to him several times, yet he behaved like he didn’t like me.”

Shivani added how Ranvir Shorey and Armaan Malik were especially nasty to her. “Ranvir and Armaan would be together…and whenever I spoke, they would pass nasty remarks like she thinks her footage is getting relayed, she is doing it for the cameras, etc. But this is my nature to have fun. I don’t know why they formed such an opinion. Even when they spoke to me, Armaan would try to brainwash me.”

When asked if Sana Makbul used her friendship, Shivani said, “No, Sana has, in fact, helped me a lot. Initially, people used to call me uncouth. I was not able to talk to anybody in the house. She was the one who spoke to me and encouraged me to be myself. If at the end she didn’t support me, I don’t think it is wrong. She will still be my sister.”

Indianexpress.com also asked Shivani Kumari if she faced discrimination in the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house. The UP-based influencer shared, “Yes, I did face discrimination in the house, especially due to my language. My English is weak. I passed out from a government school, so my educational background is not that great. All other contestants spoke fluent English and came from affluent backgrounds, so they would discriminate. They often had an issue with my language and the way I spoke. So, I did feel inferior about my education. I felt insulted.”

As she narrated this, Shivani cried and added, “I don’t want any other girl from a similar background to face the discrimination I did. It was my dream that if I won Bigg Boss OTT 3, it would inspire the girls, but that couldn’t happen. I will still work for the betterment of those girls. Will try and help them get educated. I will spend my earnings from Bigg Boss for their betterment.”

Shivani Kumari further recalled the trouble she faced initially when she started creating content. She said, “When I started creating content, my villagers instigated my mother. Told her I would bring shame to her. So one day, she beat me and was going to stab me, but my elder sister stopped her.” From this to now her villagers being proud, Shivani feels glad. The influencer added that she was happy to know they all voted for her.
