Raqesh Bapat, who made an entry in Bigg Boss 15 as a wild card contestant, was taken out of the house recently as he complained of pain due to his kidney stones issue. ETimes TV was the first one to report about Raqesh's exit. The actor was expected to be back soon but now he has formally announced his exit from the show.
In a long note for his fans, Raqesh thanked them for their love and support. He informed them that 'a health issue from 5 years ago has cropped up, unforeseen and painful.' However, he shared he is on the path of recovery.
The actor also mentioned how he has formed a special connection with fans and wants them to 'keep the positivity flowing'. He also added that he never thought he'd 'leave without a proper goodbye' but he didn't know his pain would lead to his exit.
He lastly assured fans he'd continue to entertain them once he's back on his feet. He maintained that despite his rather short-lived stay in the BB house, his connection with fans will continue for a 'lifetime'. He captioned his post as, "From My Heart To Yours."
In last night's episode, Salman had also announced Raqesh's exit from the show. This came as a shock to Shamita Shetty. Salman asked her to stay strong and encouraged her to play the game alone. He told her she doesn't need anyone.
Later, Shamita expressed her sorrow and anger at Raqesh's sudden exit. She told her best friend Neha Bhasin that she knew something was off with Raqesh but he never told her. She said, "He shouldn't have come. Thoda tough ho jaata hai and he runs away. At least, stand and fight."
