Controversies
- In 2020, Paras shared in an interview that Pavitra was already married at the time they were dating that she never revealed it to him. While talking about Paras, Pavitra said,
I don’t really have that much of a controversial past. I just have one ‘sh*t’ in my life and if he has even a bit of self-respect and sense left, he will not enter the Bigg Boss 14 house in my presence and even if he does, he shouldn’t rub me the wrong way or else he would face the dire consequences.”
Paras reacted to her comment and said,
Pavitra has rightly said that Paras was her mistake because a married woman can’t be dating and fooling me. It was alarming to know this when her husband messaged me and said you both could be with each other as much as you want but only after my divorce with her. I confronted her and she agreed, then I got to know one after other shocking revelations about her. I don’t want to open my mouth right now. I could be explosive right now, but time will tell and it will show during her stint in BB. If I open my mouth things can go against her and it won’t be good. She hid about her marriage from me.”
- In November 2020, Sumit Maheshwari, a hotelier, claimed that Punia was still married to him and that she had cheated on him four times.
