Rakhi Sawant’s marriage had become the highlight of the session. She had announced her marriage a few years earlier but had given few details of her husband. She chose Bigg Boss 15 to introduce Ritesh to the world.

Rakhi Sawant and husband Ritesh entered Bigg Boss 15 as wild cards.

She said no one believed her when she said she was married. Ritesh then offered her to come to India and have a reception where she could officially introduce him. However, he was offered the reality show in the meanwhile. “This is when I decided to announce my marriage on Bigg Boss 15. The show is also so popular and is watched across the globe, making it easier for me to tell the world.”

She had added that the wedding took place behind closed doors and wasn’t formalised legally. Earlier, speaking to indianexpress.com, Ritesh too had confirmed that they were not married. Currently separated from his first wife, he is awaiting a divorce before he can marry Rakhi. “Rakhi has a heart of gold. When I met her, I was at my lowest and she supported me wholeheartedly. I call her devi as she has given me a new lease of life. We both have accepted each other as husband-wife, and want to lead a happy married life. I really love her and want to sort everything so that we can enjoy our conjugal life once Bigg Boss 15 ends,” he said.
