Bigg Boss Marathi 6: Ridhima Pandit Comes Out in Support of Raqesh Bapat Amid Anushree Mane’s Allegations

Raqesh Bapat, who has marked his place in the entertainment industry in both Hindi and Marathi, is currently in the Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6 house. This season has been in the spotlight since the very first day. While everyone is strategizing their game and figuring out who their friends and enemies are, a major controversy erupted. In a recently aired episode, housemate Anushree Mane claimed that Raqesh pulled her hand and stated that no one can touch her without her permission.

Raqesh Bapat was deeply hurt by these bizarre allegations. Following this, other housemates strongly criticized Anushree. Now, strong reactions are also emerging on social media regarding this incident and many industry actors have came in support for Raqesh Bapat. Raqesh's fans have shown their full support for the actor by trending a hashtag. Ridhima Pandit, Raqesh Bapat's co-star from Bahu Hamari Rajnikanth came in support for actor and commented in on post. Her comment reads, "I wish I could tell my darling frnd Raq right now to not take these antics of other people too seriously. I can see how it’s affecting him and all i want him to know is that I stand by the true blue gentleman/ Friend he is. THATS IT". 

Bigg Boss Marathi 2 runner-up Neha Shitole has voiced her support for Rakesh Bapat, criticizing the situation. Shitole expressed her anger on her Instagram story, stating, "Rakesh Bapat, I am with you in this matter. I support you. This girl is playing the game in a very bad way. As a woman, I apologize to you. This is absolutely not right."

Marathi actress Sonali Patil also strongly defended Rakesh, expressing her disappointment over how the situation was handled and warning against turning such moments into character assassination. Drawing from her own past experience on Bigg Boss Marathi, she emphasized that not every physical interaction is intentional or inappropriate and that such allegations can deeply harm a person’s reputation.

Sonali urged the makers and Ritesh Dada to ensure that misunderstandings are addressed fairly, so that the platform, meant to build careers and earn respect, does not become a place where someone’s image is unjustly ruined.

What exactly happened?

Anushree had gone to sleep on Raqesh's bed. As she was not feeling well, Rakesh requested her to get up and sleep somewhere else. He even asked the other female contestants to wake Anushree up. However, Anushree did not listen. That's when the argument escalated.
