Actress Chaahat Pandey, who is currently locked up inside the Bigg Boss 18 house, courted controversy after her mother entered the show during the Family Week, and claimed that her daughter does not have a boyfriend. But during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, host Salman Khan exposed Chaahat and hinted that the actress does have a boyfriend outside the house, leaving everyone stunned.
At the start of the episode, Salman stated that while it was okay for family members to defend their people on the show, it was not correct for them to spread lies and demean other contestants.
He then questioned Chaahat if she was single, and when the actress replied in affirmative, the host teased that she was in a relationship with a Gujarati man. He also showed an old picture of Chaahat celebrating her 'five year anniversary' with a romantic-themed cake, leaving the actress tongue-tied.
And now, a new report claims that the actress has introduced her boyfriend to her mother, but she is strictly against the relationship. According to India Forums, Chaahat has been in a steady relationship, but her mother was not happy about it as the boyfriend belongs to a different caste.
"Chaahat hosted a party before entering Bigg Boss and introduced the boy to her mother, however, her mother has refused to accept her relationship as she wants the actress to get married in the same caste," the report claimed.
Chaahat would reportedly also receive gifts on the sets of her shows from the said boyfriend, however, she would tell people that they were from her fans.
It all began after Chaahat's mother entered the house and slammed Avinash Mishra for his alleged derogatory remarks about her daughter, and called him a 'womaniser'. She went on to say that Chaahat would never even want to be around a man like him, and that she never had a boyfriend outside the Bigg Boss 18 house.
She also said that Chaahat would marry even a blind person if her family asked her to.
Later, Avinash, who shared the screen with Chaahat in two shows, Durga: Mata Ki Chhaya and Nath, was seen telling the other housemates that the actress does have a boyfriend and that everyone on the sets of their shows knew about the relationship.
After Salman Khan's revelation, Avinash too asked Chaahat to accept the relationship instead of lying about it, but the actress looked visibly miffed and flabbergasted.
