'Bigg Boss 10': Yuvraj Singh's mother Shabnam to file defamation suit against Akansha Sharma


Cricketer Yuvraj Singh's mother Shabnam has decided to take legal action against 'Bigg Boss 10' contestant Akansha Sharma -- estranged wife of Yuvraj's brother Zorawar -- for 'maligning' and 'defaming' the family name during her stint on the reality TV show.


Shabnam Singh's lawyer, Chandigarh-based Daman Bir Sobti, told Firstpost, "Yes, we will be filing a civil suit for damages and a criminal complaint for defamation. We will take video footage from the Bigg Boss house for further proof. She (Akansha) has also been giving a lot of interviews post-eviction. Shabnam will be coming to Chandigarh to discuss the matter with me.”


Akansha Sharma was evicted from Salman Khan-hosted 'Bigg Boss 10' last weekend.

Akansha Sharma says she is only looking for a divorce now and feels Shabnam Singh is afraid of what she might tell the world about the family.

Akanksha was married to Yuvraj's younger brother Zoravar for four months. However, the couple has been estranged for over two years now.

Before Akanksha entered the 'Bigg Boss 10' house earlier this month, she had said that her problems were not between her and Zoravar, or with Yuvraj, but with their mother Shabnam, who hit out by saying that Akanksha perhaps had an "agenda" to enter the show.

Asked about her opinion about Shabnam's statement, Akanksha told earlier, "I think she is afraid of the fact that the things that I have to say are quite true, because if things aren't true, a person doesn't really react the way she is reacting to it. You are (She is) afraid of what I might say." (Read Akansha's full statement)

Akanksha said she is "not looking for anything" from the Singh family.

"But (I am) looking for my divorce and I don't want anything from their house at all. I just want my freedom from that house. I want to go ahead in my life," she added.

The Gurgaon-based girl, post her ouster from 'Bigg Boss 10', told mid-day that she was forced into having sex with Zoravar and that she smoked pot with him. (Read the full story)

Shabnam released a statement against these allegations made by Akanksha.

"Me and my family have only knocked the doors of the courts against her false allegations and blackmailing. I deny all these new allegations as well. The matter is sub-judice and I hope every one else also respects the law of land and let the courts bring out the truth through their verdict," Shabnam Singh said in a statement.

"For the longest time, we as a family have ignored all her unnecessary assaults, giving her the benefit of being a woman, of being immature, and above all of being family. This benefit cannot be extended forever," she added.

Yuvraj's mother -- now "determined to take this to its logical end" -- also said "the image of the family assiduously earned over a period of years, cannot be allowed to be eroded by an ill-meaning person".

Meanwhile, the 'Bigg Boss' journey was "pretty awesome" for Akansha, who has described it as a "once in a lifetime experience".

"I wasn't expecting it, but the day the eviction was taking place, I kind of felt it that it is going to happen because I really didn't get the chance to show who I am or represent who I am," she said.
