Shamita and Raqesh Bapat began dating after meeting in Bigg Boss at the end of last year. Their bond on the show was appreciated by fans and they confirmed their relationship as the show ended a few months later. In March, Shamita had even travelled to Pune to meet Raqesh’s family there, fuelling speculations that they planned to tie the knot soon. However, soon, rumours of their break-up began doing the rounds.

In May, Shamita had spoken about the pressure of being in a relationship that’s always in the spotlight. “Unfortunately, my entire relationship has been out there because we were on a public platform for quite some time. We did create a certain amount of fan following, and our fans love to see us together. But yes, it’s [the attention] tough. It puts a lot of pressure on two people in a relationship, because you feel like you are constantly explaining yourself,” she told Hindustan Times.
