For the unversed, Rakhi had tied the knot with Dubai-based businessman Ritesh in a secret ceremony at JW Marriott in Mumbai with her close friends and family in attendance. Rakhi made sure to keep the wedding a secret. The couple had married in a private room instead of a wedding hall.

In 2019, Rakhi announced her marriage with Ritesh. However, she shocked everyone when during Bigg Boss 14 she broke down and revealed that her husband is already married and has children. Rakhi, who had entered the show as a wildcard contestant, had an emotional breakdown in front of fellow contestant Rahul Vaidya.

'You will see me on the show'

Recently, in an interview with The Times of India, Rakhi's husband, Ritesh, spoke about being a part of Bigg Boss 15 and revealed that he couldn't appear in the last season of the show because of his business. "That's why I could not fulfill my commitment. You will see me on the show."

Meanwhile, the makers have released the latest promo of Bigg Boss 15 and it shows Salman sitting in a jungle wearing a night suit explaining the latest theme of the show. He talks to the beautiful 'Vishwasuntree', the voiceover of which has been given by veteran actress Rekha. He asks the tree how the contestants will get to sleep to which Rekha replies by saying that good night's sleep will be a difficult one because of the cold winds.
