The duo who was once celebrated for their close bond is no longer in touch anymore. The digital move quickly caught fans attention and sparked rumours about a possible fallout.
After numerous speculations, Shrutika finally decided to open up about this matter. During an interview with Tellymasala, the Bigg Boss fame shared that there was no fight between the two, and Chum鈥檚 action came as a surprise to her. 鈥淚 felt very bad. There was no fight, nothing. Just two or three days before it happened, I tried calling Chum. I was hurt. Arjun was with me, my son was there, my parents, my friends, and even my other Bigg Boss friends messaged me and checked in on me,鈥 Shrutika revealed while saying one needs to put in efforts to maintain a relationship.
Although Shrutika remained tight-lipped on detailing specific reasons behind the fallout, it was evident from her statement that she felt immense pain and disappointment. Her emphasis further revealed Shrutika and Chum鈥檚 friendship was built on one-sided efforts.
The pair鈥檚 friendship and genuine bond were cherished during their time at Bigg Boss 18, and they quickly became a fan-favourite pair for their supportive nature and candid conversations. Hence, this sudden digital move left fans wondering whether it is a temporary misunderstanding or a deeper crack in their friendship.
While Shrutika was eliminated from Bigg Boss 18 a few weeks before the grand finale, Chum secured her spot among the front runners and ended the show in the fifth position. Previously during an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Shrutika was asked if she was in touch with Chum after the show, to which Shrutika replied, 鈥淲e are connected on WhatsApp. She is busy and is receiving offers. I am happy for her because work is worship. Being busy is the best thing, and I have told Chum that I鈥檒l always be there with her.鈥
After the fallout, Chum did not respond to any speculation or make a public statement. However, fans are still waiting for clarity or a possible reunion between the pair.
