Bigg Boss OTT contestant Raqesh Bapat’s friend Pankit Thakker came out in his support and commented on host Karan Johar’s remark that Raqesh is spineless. Pankit said that his friend Raqesh is sensitive and emotional, but not spineless. He also said that Raqesh’s personality doesn’t fit the controversial show.

Earlier Raqesh had an emotional breakdown when Bigg Boss OTT housemates called him ‘spineless’ on numerous occasions after the first ‘Sunday Ka Vaar’ episode. Raqesh was seen saying that he will not be fighting for wrong things.

His ex-wife Ridhi Dogra supported him. She commented that Raqesh is playing the game with dignity.

“By virtue of choosing goodness and humanity, one is a winner. Being loud and twisting words and not letting people speak is unfortunately considered entertainment in this world. But there are some of us on the side of humanity. And that’s what matters!” she said.

As quoted by the Times of India, Pankit said, “Raqesh is a very sensitive and an emotional person, his personality is actually not fit for the Bigg Boss game.” 

He also added, “He was offered the show earlier as well, but he never took it up. This time he decided to give it a shot. About the current situation, I think Pratik Sehajpal is overdoing it and saying unnecessary things.”

Talking about host Karan Johar’s comments about Raqesh, Pankit said that Karan Johar is helping his friend to get out of his comfort zone.

“Raqesh is not spineless. According to me, Karan Johar is a very smart host and he is pushing Raqesh so that he comes out of his comfort zone and grabs the bull by its horns. In a way, Karan Johar is helping my friend so that he gives his best. I am sure he will be thankful to Karan after all this is over,” he said.
