Bigg Boss 16 Contestant Shalin Bhanot’s Ex-Wife Dalljiet Kaur Pens Note For Him

New Delhi: The latest episode of ‘Bigg Boss 16’ showed Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and Shalin Bhanot tearing up as they read letters from their families. Shalin’s former wife and actress Dalljiet Kaur has penned a heartfelt note for the actor after seeing the video of him crying after reading a letter from his family.

Dalljiet took to Instagram to share a video of Shalin when he was at his emotional best on receiving the letter and wrote a heartwarming text to extend her support.

She wrote, ‘Shalin, I’ve not seen Bigg Boss for a long time but came across this, I wish you well for this journey ahead. Play fair. Play with your heart.’


Earlier, Dalljiet had gotten upset with Shalin when during a conversation with co-contestant Tina Datta, he spoke about his equation with his ex-wife and about their divorce.

In a conversation with Times of India, Dalljiet had said that she didn’t like the reason Shalin gave to Tina for their separation. She also said that she doesn’t want to bring the past back and it has taken her seven years to heal.

“More than being upset for calling me his best friend in the house, I didn’t like what he told Tina Datta; that we broke up over a silly issue. I have also been in Bigg Boss (Season 13) and I stayed for 15 days inside the house, but not once did I discuss Shaleen or bring up the topic of our breakup or make a joke about it. During my stint with Bigg Boss, it could have been easy for me to cry and get attention, but I never did that,” she was quoted as saying by the Times of India.

Talking about her marriage she had said, “I am not saying that when a marriage breaks it is always the man’s fault, it could be the woman’s fault too. But Shalin needs to understand that he can’t go on national television and make a mockery of our past. I understand he is in the Bigg Boss personal details come out, but he needs to give it some dignity and stay away from it.”

Dalljiet is known for her work in ‘Kulvaddhu’, ‘Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?’ and ‘Kaala Teeka. She participated in reality shows such as ‘Nach Baliye’ and ‘Bigg Boss 13’.

While working in ‘Kulvaddhu’, she met Shalin, whom she married in 2009. The couple was blessed with a son in 2014. In 2015, she filed for divorce over domestic violence.
