In conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Shamita Shetty recalled being heavily trolled and that time being very difficult for her. Adding that her family felt it was better if she locked herself in the (show’s) house, the actress said, “It was very difficult for me the first time around because the situation was very different. I was unfortunately being heavily trolled for no fault of mine. My family also, at that point in time, felt that it’s better for me to just lock myself in that house. And also it was a previous commitment, and I didn’t want to back off because of everything that happened. I wanted to stick to my word and continue. As they say, ‘The show must go on’.”
