Bigg Boss OTT 3: From Chandrika Dixit sharing how she started her vada pav stall to Shivani Kumari getting stabbed by her mother; shocking revelations made by contestants about their struggles

Bigg Boss OTT 3 has begun with a fresh new batch of contestants. Within the first two days inside the house, the contestants have begun with their major fights, revelations and more. Take a look at what the contestants had to reveal about their struggles on the show:

On the stage, Chandrika opened up about her struggles, she shared, "My son was only 6 months old when I had to leave my job. So we were in a terrible state financially, I had only 1-2 months of savings so I chose to buy a cart and start the vada pav stall. My mother-in-law insulted me and faced a lot of backlash but I didn't lose my hope and today I am here."

Sai Ketan Rao, a TV heartthrob, was among the contestants who appeared on the show's inaugural episode. He made a big entrance onto the stage, dancing to renowned Bollywood songs. Anil Kapoor, the host, joined him and complimented his dancing and performance abilities. While speaking, Sai Ketan Rao told Anil Kapoor that he prefers to keep his feelings bottled up and not express them freely. When asked why, he couldn't hold back the emotions. He claimed that since he was a child, he lied to his pals that everything was perfect at home when, in fact, it was not. Overwhelmed with emotions, he paused for a moment before revealing, "I never had a father figure in my life, so I don't know what having a father feels like. My mother raised me, and I have a sister. I owe everything to my mother, and I am truly grateful to her."

Shivani talked out about her challenges and described how she went through a lot to get where she is today. During the big premiere of Bigg Boss OTT 3, Shivani Kumari, the season's third competitor, opened up about her emotional journey. Shivani described how she received harsh hostility from her family and village for producing videos. Shivani, who comes from a low-income family, started making videos to help them. Despite her noble intentions, she encountered strong opposition from her family and community. "My mother even stabbed me in the stomach and pulled my hair to stop me from making videos," Shivani claimed, shocking the audience.

Sana and Poulomi were in the kitchen when the latter discovered a mark on Sana's lips. When she questioned the actress about it, Sana disclosed that it is a scar. She went on to say that earlier in the day, Shivani laughed at the mark, but Sana asked her not to because it was a dreadful tragedy and she had undergone surgery. Sana said that a dog bit her lips. Poulomi was taken aback and added, "Obviously, that's your face." Sana told her that her face is her bread and butter, and that the incident was so awful that she had to have major surgery. She also admitted that she was depressed following the encounter.

While having a conversation with Sana Makbul shared about her suffering from brain hemorrhage. She said, "I was engaged but then I had a breakup and then I suffered from a brain hemorrhage. During that testing phase, I went back home for 2 years. I don't have a memory of those two years, I went completely blank. It did affect me a lot."

Poloumi shared how she struggled to find work, she said, "I totally get it, I had faced a phase where I didn't get work, I was rejected from the TV shows because of my skin colour and the way I looked. I was even told, 'I don't have the North Indian face' and so many such things."

Ranvir Shorey has been an eminent name in Bollywood, he has given some iconic roles and now the actor entered the show as a contestant. After entering the house, Ranvir had a healthy tiff with Shivani Kumari where she said that she didn't know him. And then taunted that if you are an actor, 'aapke paas to bohot kaam hoga.' Ranvir replied, 'Kaam hota toh yahan nahi hota main.'
