Shamita Shetty on feeling lonely without a partner
Now that the actress is finally out of the Bigg Boss house, the duo have been painting the town red with their adorable and mushy public appearances. Talking about her marriage plans, she told ETimes, “I was sending positive energies to the universe while I was inside the BB 15 house because I believe in manifesting things. It is an affirmation that I am getting married this year so the universe has to make sure that I get married this year.”
Sharing how she’s been feeling lonely without a partner, she said, “During COVID I really realised that I was alone and the loneliness got to me. I’ve been single for a very long time and I live my life my way or by my own terms. I definitely missed having a partner. I am happy that I’ve one right now. Let’s see where that goes but yes I would like to settle down, work and also have my babies. There’s a lot that I want to do.”

Elaborating on how she’s still in the process of getting to know Raqesh better, she said, “I was away from Raqesh for such a long time in that house that I would sometimes think that is he still my boyfriend? I would think 3-4 months is such a long time and a lot of things change. That’s the reason I would often ask everyone is Raqesh still my boyfriend or has he moved on because I really had no idea. And if he had moved on also I wouldn’t have blamed him because main itne time ke liye usse alag thi and that too without any communication. He had no access to me except the television screen. But the bond was strong enough to have both of us feel the same way. When I came out of the house, he waited for me and we would like to get to know each other well. I met him on a game show and that world is totally different. I want to know him in the outer world and hopefully there’s a positive future for both of us together.”
Well, Shamita seems really keen on getting married this year, so are we going to witness another big fat celebrity wedding soon?
