Bigg Boss 16: Sreejita De's SPICY New Avatar

December 13, 2022 13:25 IST

Television actress Sreejita De is back on Bigg Boss 16 as a wild card contestant.

In her first outing on the show, she was not able to show her potential as a player and was the first contestant to be evicted.

To ensure her return remains as spicy as her dhamakedaar re-entry, she immediately locked horns with her 'good friend' Tina Datta.

Her most recent fight has been with the latest wildcard entry, Vikkas Manaktala, known for his characters Veer Pratap in Ghulaam and Gangadhar Rao in Jhansi Ki Rani.

Sreejita De made her acting debut with Ekta Kapoor's hit 2008 television show, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, at the age of 19.

But she shot to fame after playing the lead role in Uttaran on Colors TV.

Sreejita and Tina were co-actors on the show; that's when their cold war -- which has continued into the BB house -- started.

Though Sreejita and Tina claimed to be family friends when they arrived on Bigg Boss, it's pretty evident that all's not well between them.

Will Ms De's return spoil Tina's game? Will their animosity become the highlight of the show going forward?

Apart from acting in several popular shows, Sreejita has also done a few Bollywood films.

On the personal front, the 33-year-old has been in a steady relationship with her German fiancé, Michael Blohm-Pape.

The two got engaged last December after Michael popped the big question in Paris.

After re-entering Bigg Boss, Sreejita exposed Tina by calling out her fake relationship with Shalin Bhanot; she even did a hilarious parody of how Tina hugs Shaleen only when the cameras are looking.

While everyone is super excited about her re-entry as a wildcard, we'll have to wait and see whether Sreejita's fierce personality will shine or fizzle out!
