Former Indian cricketer Sreesanth has become one of the most talked about contestants of Bigg Boss 12. Fans were little upset with the right arm bowler for not participating in BB 12 with his full potential but they are now slowly warming up to him. Sreesanth opened up on how his wife Bhuvaneshwari supported him during his bad time while talking to Salman Khan on the premiere episode of the reality show.

While chatting with the housemates, Sreesanth is said to have told them that he was in relationship with his wife Bhuvaneshwari for seven years before they got hitched. However, actress Nikesha Patel, who has claimed to be Sreesanth’s EX-girlfriend has expressed her displeasure over the controversial cricketer dismissing their relationship.

The ‘Puli’ actress, while talking to a leading daily, said that Sreesanth was in a live-in-relationship with her at the same time he claimed to be in love with Bhuvaneshwari. Nikesha, who has worked in over 25 films in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Tamil cinema, hinted that Sreesanth was double timing his wife before their wedding.

"I've not met Sreesanth after the break-up, but I have been watching him on Bigg Boss. Sreesanth claimed on national television that he was in love with Bhuvneshwari for seven years before he got married to her. This makes me wonder, why was he in a live-in relationship with me for over a year around that time," Nikesha told Bangalore Times.

The actress is here referring to the time when Sreesanth was still playing for the national cricket team.

Nikesha also told the daily that she has not been able to move on from their relationship.

"In the past five years, I have quietly moved away from it all, after the break-up. But, I have not really been able to move-on from the relationship, as I have many unanswered questions," the actress said. This is not all.

The 27-year-old actress further said that two of them were in a relationship when she was shooting for her film Varadavinayaka in 2012.

‘’What was he doing with me if he claims he was in love with his wife all the time that we were in a  relationship? It makes me feel bad,’’ she told BT.

Nikesha even said that she is yet to get an apology from Sreesanth for breaking the relationship. She dissed him saying that he is not as ‘mahaan’ as he shows on Bigg Boss 12 and he doesn’t respect women like he showing on the show.

We wonder how will Sreesanth and his wife Bhuvneshwari react to the allegations made by Nikesha Patel.
