Shivani Kumari's manager alleges non-payment by 'BB OTT 3' makers
What's the story
Shivani Kumari, who shot to fame after her recent stint on Bigg Boss OTT 3, recently found herself in a controversy. The issue began when pictures of her posing with a brand new Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara went viral. Many netizens assumed that she bought the car with the money she reportedly earned from her appearance on the popular reality show. However, there's more to this story.
Payment issue
Kumari hasn't received any payment, revealed her manager
However, Kumari's manager and close confidante, Abhishek Kumar, has clarified the matter. In an exclusive interview with Times Now/Telly Talk India, he revealed that the car actually belongs to him and Kumari was only posing with it. Shockingly, he also revealed that Kumari has not yet received any payment for her participation in Bigg Boss OTT 3 due to a delay caused by an error in the invoicing process. Per Kumar, other contestants are also awaiting payments!
Future plans
Future: Kumari plans to use her earnings for noble cause
Kumar also revealed the influencer's intentions for the money she is yet to receive. Contrary to the assumptions of her critics, she will use her earnings to fund the education of underprivileged girls. To recall, before BB OTT 3, Kumari faced significant hardships, with her mother investing all their money into her elder sister's wedding. Tragically, there were also times when they had to spend nights without food.
Show journey
Kumari's journey on 'Bigg Boss OTT 3' won many hearts
During her time on the popular reality show, Kumari made a strong impression on both the audience and her fellow contestants. She formed close bonds with contestants such as Lovekesh Kataria, Vishal Pandey, and Sana Makbul, but also had arguments with others like Ranvir Shorey, Armaan Malik, and Kritika Malik, among others. The show, which streamed on JioCinema, was won by Makbul.
