Shivani Kumari, a contestant on Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 hosted by Anil Kapoor, is admired for her authenticity. Hailing from a small village, she fearlessly speaks her mind, infusing humour and providing a reality check to other contestants. Her straightforwardness has garnered her a considerable fan following, who appreciate her genuine personality and her ability to forge strong friendships within the house.
In a recent episode, Shivani Kumari poured her heart out, recalling the struggles she faced as a girl child. She tearfully shared, “I never received that love. When I was born, they threw me away saying they didn’t want a girl. I would bleed from my mouth, my mother wouldn’t give me medicine, nothing. My mother never loved me. I didn’t receive even one percent of love from my family.” Shivani recounted how her mother discouraged her from studying, believing girls should focus on household duties. With her father passing away when she was just a year old, Shivani described enduring immense hardship. She revealed her mother’s disappointment at not having a son and how, being the fourth daughter, she felt unloved by her family.
Shivani shared that she pursued education independently, as no one else in her family was educated. Despite facing criticism for her behaviour and being labeled, Shivani asserted that she never intentionally upset anyone. She expressed relief in working towards her dreams and achieving them on her own terms. Shivani conveyed her sorrow, reflecting on the challenges she has overcome, and how she strives to live authentically despite societal judgments.
The audience has been responding with mixed reactions to Shivani Kumari’s statements. While some viewers are showing sympathy, others accuse her of seeking the limelight. One user commented, “Shivani Kumari has faced a lot; trolling her like this isn’t right. Everyone has family problems, big or small, but now your parents must be proud of you. Don’t cry; the whole nation is proud of you. Life makes you strong. Stay strong, Shivani. This show will change your life for the better.”
However, there are critics who question her intentions, with some asking, “Drama?” and others saying, “Who else thinks she’s just playing for sympathy? She is a strong girl, but saying all this in Bigg Boss is not okay. She might have faced a lot in her childhood, but she’s taking too much sympathy. It’s not right to cry excessively over this topic. She’s just being dramatic. After going through so many problems, a person becomes very humble, but she lacks the decency to talk. She always uses poverty as an excuse.”
Some viewers urged the show to avoid such contestants in the future, stating, “#BiggBossOTT3, please don’t bring such people next season. We don’t watch Big Boss for this. All these are baseless talks; they come to promote themselves and demean others. There are many people who struggle but stay happy. She’s not the first girl to face such issues. Her nature is third class. Stop playing the sympathy card.”
