Shilpa Shetty reacts after Shamita Shetty called 'fake' and 'arrogant': We were not born into wealth, both of us have struggled and worked our way up

Actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra's sister Shamita Shetty is one of the contestants in the 15th season of the popular TV reality show 'Bigg Boss'. However, the actress often gets trolled on social media. Recently, Neha Dhupia visited the reality show as a guest and asked the contestants to describe their journey in the house. Shamita opened her heart out and said that relationships matter a lot to her and she gets affected if that turns sour. She also revealed that she has felt 'depressed,' 'strong' and a lot of other emotions in this house but is certain of one thing and that is 'this BB house makes one a very strong personality'. On seeing this, Shamita's sister Shilpa wrote a long emotional appreciation post for her Tunki as she feels that Shamita is being misinterpreted. Shilpa wrote, 'Appreciation post! This is for my brave soul, a fighter, my sister @shamitashetty_official…It’s sad to see how some are misinterpreting Shamita’s behaviour as arrogant because “they think” she’s privileged or is fake, and she doesn’t have an opinion (sometimes too opinionated actually), or doesn’t use her head only heart, which is absolutely untrue/rubbish! I say this without any bias and not just as a sister, but as a BIGG BOSS viewer too.' Shilpa also mentioned that she feels Shamita is being targetted for having a heart and being emotional as she further wrote, 'I’ve never commented on the show, but while a lot of people have been commenting (good /bad / ugly) I felt like saying, being privy to this format as a participant and former Host; I feel Shamita is being accosted for having a heart / being emotional and viewed as privileged by some, but IF she was, she wouldn’t be in this show trying to carve a niche for herself professionally.' She added, 'I can vouch for one thing that what you see of her is as ‘REAL’ as can get. That’s her USP, she’s her authentic self. Don’t know about these so called ‘games’ and ‘strategies’; all I know is everyone is different and she reacts the way she’s conditioned. We were not born into wealth, both of us have struggled and worked our way up, uphold our middle class values, dignity being of paramount importance… that’s the upbringing.' Whether she wins this game or not, this has got to be said, “NO GAME IN LIFE OR ON TV CAN BE AT THE COST OF LOSING ONE’S DIGNITY". She shows that in her GAME, she’s shown grace under fire and my heart swells with pride as a sister.' Shilpa concluded her note by writing, 'The show will come to an end but the memories will stay.. And, Shamita will be remembered as a Tigress and someone who has left her mark on millions of hearts with her Honesty, Dignity, Integrity, and Class. You go, my Tunki, you are and will always be a #ShowstopperShamita. While she’s in the House and I miss her terribly. Guys, do support our Queen of Hearts and show her some love cause, she deserves it'.
