I hope none of you have to but in case you need any help or information, do leave a message and I shall do the best I can. Stay safe."
Vikas was part of Bigg Boss 11, Later in Bigg Boss 14, several personal revelations were made by Vikas including the strained relationship he shares with his mother. Vikas revealed that he was under debts amounting to rupees 1.8 crore. In one of the episodes, he had said, "Imagine the things I have gone through. My parents had clearly said we will not be able to have a claim on Vikas' property if we go against him in the media. I am sorry to be saying this, and God forbid, but normal kids do not go before parents".
Vikas further revealed why he did not pay his mother's medical expenses and asked her to leave his house. "There was this point when I had to sell my house and when I called my mother to talk about it, she just said 'I am busy, on a trip, I will talk to you 10 days later'. It was then that I told them, 'I am broke and I cannot bear the cost of the treatment. I asked them to sell our house in Dehradun, and instead of giving me my share of the money, and use it for her treatment. I had no other option, I had loans amounting to Rs. 1.8 crore."
