Bigg Boss OTT 3: Shivangi Khedkar REVEALS Why She and Sai Ketan Rao Didn’t Initially Get Along [Exclusive]

Bigg Boss OTT: Sai Ketan Rao recently admitted in the controversial reality show that he is in a relationship with his BFF Shivangi Khedkar. He also shared that he is planning to settle down with her this year. However, Shivangi is yet to confirm their relationship. She has acknowledged that they are best friends and how she always wish the best for Sai. Although the duo might be dating each other now, there was a time when Sai and Shivangi couldn't stand each other and used to have constant fights. In an exclusive conversation with FilmiBeat, Shivangi Khedkar recalls how they initially struggled to get along and how eventually things got better between them.

Sai and Shivangi first met on the sets of the TV show Mehendi Hai Rachne Waali. Recalling their initial bond, Shivangi said, "When we initially started shooting for Mehendi Hai Rachne Waali, the schedule of daily soaps, as everyone is aware, is quite hectic. When two people have maximum scenes together, there are bound to be some issues. As Sai and I had the majority of the scenes, we were frustrated with each other, especially because it was the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. People were panicking about their health and worried about their families. In that scenario, we used to fight a lot. I used to call Sandeep, our producer, sometimes. He used to complain about me to Sandeep almost every day."

Shivangi further added, "So we fought a lot, but then a point came where everything calmed down, the COVID situation improved. We eventually realized that this is how we both work, and then the friendship bond formed from there. We turned into friends and then we shared our respective life stories with each other. We understood each other's frustration, and we understood that neither of us is bad at heart. Today, we have such a good understanding that I am giving interviews on his behalf."

Sai Ketan Rao, who was nominated this week, is now safe, as rumours are rife that Armaan Malik has been eliminated from the show.
