Bigg Boss Marathi 6: The latest season of Bigg Boss Marathi 6, hosted by Riteish Deshmukh, has been filled with controversy following a violent altercation between contestants Raqesh Bapat and Vishal Kotian. What began as a nomination task quickly transformed into a physical confrontation after Vishal Kotian allegedly made derogatory remarks regarding Raqesh Bapat’s private life and his 2019 divorce from actress Ridhi Dogra.
The tension reached a breaking point when Vishal Kotian reportedly threatened to expose the real reasons behind Raqesh’s failed marriage. During the exchange, Vishal Kotian was heard saying, "Come outside. I will tell everyone why your divorce happened and how many affairs you have had."
These comments led to a physical scuffle between the two and required immediate intervention from other housemates. While the show's producers issued a temporary punishment to both men, Raqesh’s family has taken more serious stance, demanding legal accountability for the breach of personal boundaries.
