Shamita Shetty, the younger sister of renowned Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, appears to have embraced the possibility of love once again, following her highly publicized split from television actor Raqesh Bapat. Her romantic journey has captivated fans, especially after her recent social media exchanges sparked fresh speculation about her relationship status.
From Bigg Boss Romance to Breakup Confirmation
Shamita Shetty's last confirmed relationship was with TV actor Raqesh Bapat, whom she met during the reality show 'Bigg Boss OTT'. The couple developed a strong connection on the program, which continued to blossom off-screen. However, in a move that surprised many followers, they decided to part ways in July 2022.
Later that year, Shamita participated in 'Bigg Boss 15', where Raqesh made a brief appearance shortly after her entry, adding to the ongoing narrative of their complex relationship timeline. On July 26, 2022, Shamita took to her Instagram stories to officially confirm the breakup, writing a heartfelt message to her fans.
"I think it's important to make this clear. Raqesh Bapat and I are no longer together and have not been for a while, but this music video is for all the beautiful fans who have given us so much love and support. Do continue to shower us with your love as individuals too. Here's to positivity and newer horizons. Love and gratitude to you all," she expressed, marking the end of that chapter in her personal life.
New Bond with Deepesh Sharma Fuels Speculation
Recently, techno artist Deepesh Sharma's Instagram post dedicated to Shamita has ignited widespread rumors about a potential new romance. Sharing intimate glimpses from her birthday celebration, Sharma penned an affectionate note that read, "Happy Birthday to my forever laughter riot. To the one who knows all my stories and still sticks around. Love you, my Shamster."
In a response that caught everyone's attention, Shamita commented with "Awww" accompanied by multiple red heart emojis, further fueling the dating buzz. While neither party has confirmed the nature of their relationship, this public display of affection has left fans and media speculating whether this is a budding romance or simply a close friendship.
Shamita's Powerful Response to Age-Shaming Trolls
Amidst the relationship rumors, Shamita Shetty recently demonstrated her resilience by addressing online trolls who attempted to shame her for not being married. A user commented on one of her posts, "Buddy Shetty 50 years have passed and there is no man."
Shamita responded with a powerful message that resonated with many: "I want to take time out to respond to this very kind lady trying to put another woman down for not being married. Kudos to you. Mission successful. FYI getting married is not my only purpose in life. Being happy and content and independent in life with gratitude in my heart always is. Wishing you a lot of positivity in your life. I hope you never try to pull another woman down again. If you have nothing nice to say to people, best be quiet."
This statement not only shut down the negativity but also highlighted her perspective on personal fulfillment beyond societal expectations.
Relationship Status Remains Unconfirmed
As of now, it remains unclear whether Shamita Shetty is actually dating Deepesh Sharma or if they share a platonic bond. The actress has maintained privacy about her personal life following her breakup with Raqesh Bapat, leaving fans to interpret social media clues.
The entertainment industry continues to watch closely as Shamita navigates both public scrutiny and personal happiness, balancing her career with relationships under the constant spotlight of Bollywood media.
