Shilpa Shinde made a shocking revelation of facing the harsh side of the society due to a fake mms, "During my journey back in 2015-16, the show was going on, I was ousted from it, and all that drama happened. After that, so many people were relentlessly targeting me, I had absolutely no way out, no options left. Next thing I know is, a reporter sent me a video clip, I asked: 'What is this?' She said, 'It's your video.' I was like, 'My video?', she replied, 'Open it and see.' While the video was downloading, I kept thinking if it was from my changing room or something like that. My blood ran cold for a moment. I was sitting in my car when I finally played the video. It was a blurry video of a girl lying on top of a guy. I asked, 'What on earth is this? She said, 'It's your video.' I just told her, 'Are you mad? Look at the bedsheet, it's so dirty.' She further questioned, 'Is it not you then?' I said, 'Hell no, are you crazy?' I know when my last relationship was and with whom. This is impossible. She then asked if she should release it, and I replied, asking what she meant. Imagine they stooped to this level. I sat at the cyber cell unit for 6-7 hours. I finally tracked it down, and it was just a Hindi adult site clip; they took freeze frames of the girl in the video from specific angles where she looked like me, blurred it, and blasted it everywhere, saying Bhabhiji's MMS is out."
Harshad Chopda opened up about his breakup that left him scarred for more than a decade, he said, "I lost two of the most important people in my life. My ex girlfriend was cheating on me with my bestfriend. I couldn't heal from it for a long time. Ever since, I've struggled to trust people and open up. This is a secret I've never shared with anyone."
Akanksha Chamola dropped the shocking bomb of her divorce with Gaurav Khanna as her first secret in the house. She said, "So me and Gaurav are getting a divorce. Yeah, we’ve been separated, living separately for the last one year. It wasn’t public, but that’s my secret. It was a mutual decision. We’ve been sitting on this for the last one year. Things are not bad between me and Gaurav. We still talk to each other. We both don’t think that we are compatible as partners because we both see very different futures, and unfortunately, it’s not with each other."
Harshad Chopda made an emotional revelation about cutting his wrist, "I had slit my wrist after a fight with my ex-girlfriend. The scars are still there. Nothing happened after that. I woke up and started to panic. I had already injured my leg, so I could barely walk. I somehow managed to reach the doctor and begged for treatment. I wanted to feel so much pain that this pain would be nothing in front of that. Now, whenever I am in a similar situation, I remind myself to never do it again. Nobody knows this secret, not even my father. I lived here alone. I didn't know the consequences. Had I died in this, it was okay, but I survived, and another panic set in. I just had to live. She came back, and we carried on. I was stupid; it was foolish."
Ram Kapoor got candid about his love story with Gautami Kapoor and her first marriage on the show. He shared, "Gautami and I are so strong as a couple. When you get a boyfriend or a crush, you put your best foot forward. I put my worst foot forward, I told her my worst secrets, but she started liking me despite that. I had gradually come to realize that she was not happy in her marriage. It had been 2.5 years since she was married, and they lived apart for seven months in that. Now, because we were good friends, I started taking an interest, not because I suddenly wanted anything. When I felt she had a bad day, I used to ask questions, and she used to answer. That’s when I found out that she wanted to end that marriage, but her family was not supporting her. When I found out that Gautami had made this decision, I told her, ‘Whatever you need, I am here. I became one of her closest friends during the whole process."
Sufi Motiwala revealed that he was suicidal after his family came to know about his sexuality. He mentioned, "When I was 16, my therapist outed me to my family without my consent. She called my grandfather inside, not even my parents, my grandfather. But I was a minor, so I didn't have any power.They stopped considering me as their child. I felt so alone because, for 16 years, I had never seen any other gay person. I used to wonder, 'Do I have any shortcomings? Is this an illness?' It got to such an extent that I felt like I was a living disappointment. I was driven to the edge of suicide. It was my anxiety that stopped me. My anxiety made me think, 'Where will I fall? Someone will have to clean up my dead body. I might get stuck here.' Even at that moment, I didn't want to disappoint anyone. That's why I came back from there."
Akanksha Chamola had opened up about her sexuality on the show. She said, "I was bisexual before marriage. I have been in relations with females but they were not really intimate. I love women, I admire and am attracted to them. They are my safe space. It is a male dominated world and one always gets close to their mother and sisters… that comfort one gets from them. The society says that women cannot be friends but it was never like that for me. There was no competition or jealousy."
Ram Kapoor opened up about getting molested as a child in boarding school, "I was 13 years old when I was molested in school. Till today, only my wife Gautami knows about it. I have never spoken about this publicly. I was molested in the boarding school. I was in my 8th standard. I was around 13 years old. During my school days, at the end of the day, we used to talk and hang out in our dorms on each other's beds. Basically, we used to have a great time. A 10th standard student, who was on my bed with me, we were having fun and banter. He touched me under the blanket, and there were almost 30-40 children around, so I froze. I could not do anything. He continued to do so, and I did not know how to react. I did not know what to do or not to do. Should I endure it? Should I shout or not? I don't know, but after some time, I told him, 'I do not like it.' He stopped and immediately went away."
Sufi Motiwala opened up about how his family wasn't ready to accept him coming out as gay, he mentioned, "My granny once told me that I should try being bisexual, so that they could at least accept me in that situation."
