Shilpa Shetty defends Shamita for being called 'Fake' and 'Privileged' in Bigg Boss 15: says, 'We were not born into wealth'

Shilpa Shetty has come down heavily on a large section of the people for calling her baby sister Shamita Shetty,“fake" and “privileged". Shamita is currently a participant in Bigg Boss 15. Shamita is often called out for having a superiority complex and dominating nature. Now, Shilpa Shetty has come out in defence of her younger sister whom she also calls ‘Tunki’, by writing a lengthy note, ousting all such allegations. Shilpa also spoke about how both she and Shamita have struggled and worked their way up as they were not born into wealth. Calling her sister a “brave soul" and a “fighter," Shilpa wrote, “It’s sad to see how some are misinterpreting Shamita’s behaviour as arrogant because “they think” she’s privileged or is fake, and she doesn’t have an opinion (sometimes too opinionated actually), or doesn’t use her head only heart, which is absolutely untrue/rubbish! I say this without any bias and not just as a sister, but as a BIGG BOSS viewer too."
