After Bigg Boss OTT 3 fame Shivani Kumari was trolled for purchasing a luxury car, her manager clarified that the car belonged to him.
Bigg Boss OTT 3 star Shivani Kumari recently made headlines when photos of her with a brand-new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara went viral. Many fans assumed that the YouTuber had purchased the car with her earnings from the show and applauded her success. However, some critics accused her of spending frivolously on luxury items. The truth, however, is quite different. Shivani’s manager, Abhishek Kumar, clarified that the car actually belonged to him, and Shivani was merely posing with it. He also revealed that Shivani, along with other contestants, has yet to receive her Bigg Boss payments due to an invoicing error by the production team. Abhishek assured that once the payments are received, Shivani intends to use the money wisely, specifically to support the education of girls.
Speaking with Times Now, her manager said, “Shivani Kumari and her mother are just posing with a car purchased by me. Shivani Kumari’s motive is very clear. She wants to use her Bigg Boss OTT 3 money for the education of poor girls. People think that she used the money for her own benefits, but that’s not true. She is yet to get her Bigg Boss OTT 3 money. There was a mistake in an invoice sent by the team. Not only Shivani, all the contestants are yet to get their fees.”
In an earlier interview with Indian Express, Shivani Kumari spoke about her plans to support girls’ education as she experienced discrimination in the Bigg Boss house and real life. She spoke about feeling judged because of her weak English and her background from a government school, compared to other contestants who spoke fluent English and came from wealthy families. Although she couldn’t win the show, Shivani is determined to help girls from similar backgrounds and improve their education.
Shivani claimed that Ranvir Shorey and Armaan Malik degraded her, “Whenever I spoke, they would pass nasty remarks like she thinks her footage is getting relayed, she is doing it for the cameras, etc. But this is my nature to have fun. I don’t know why they formed such an opinion. Even when they spoke to me, Armaan would try to brainwash me.”
Despite facing criticism from several contestants, Shivani Kumari made some genuine connections with other Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestants, including Lovekesh Kataria, Vishal Pandey and Sana Makbul.
