Rakhi Sawant surprised everyone when she announced she has gotten married via a bunch of wedding pictures on social media from which he was missing. 

She then said her husband was a UK-based businessman and didn’t want to reveal his identity. 

However, speculations started about whether it was a gimmick, until her husband Ritesh made his first public appearance on the reality show Bigg Boss.
