Shamita Shetty took therapy for a year after Bigg Boss OTT. Why did she become so confused and aggressive?
Bigg Boss OTT had changed Shamita Shetty’s mood
Shamita Shetty, who participated in the first season of Bigg Boss OTT, told in a recent interview that this reality show not only gave her recognition in showbiz but also shook her mentally.
As soon as the show ended, she needed professional therapy for a year, because the stress inside the house filled her with so much aggression.
Confusion of reality and fiction
Shamita told Pinkvilla that the line between real and fiction had become blurred in the house.
Something different in front of the camera, something different backstage – this difference created confusion in her mind.
When she came out, it became difficult for her to understand what reality is and what is just a part of the content.
Roots of aggressive mood
“I was already struggling with anxiety,” says Shamita. The daily fights in the house deepened this stress.
From yelling over petty issues like toothpaste to arguing over every little thing—waking up every morning and fighting over these things became a new struggle for her.
This constant stress made her aggressive even outside the show.
Therapy for a year
Shamita admitted that the confusion between character and reality disturbed her after coming out.
“I couldn’t understand what was happening around me,” she said. So she underwent therapy for a year to deal with her inner anxiety and confusion.
Therapy reduced her stress levels and gave her back her sense of self.
Accurate disclosure of emotions
This revelation shows that reality TV is not just entertainment, but also has a deep impact on the mental health of the contestants.
Shamita candidly shared the changes that have taken place within her and the solutions, making it easy to understand that even famous faces struggle.
Flight Ahead
After therapy, Shamita grabbed her career again with renewed vigor. She was last seen in Sushrut Jain’s film ‘The Tenant’ (2023).
Now, recently she also appeared in The Great Indian Kapil Show with her sister Shilpa Shetty.
Today, Shamita’s story testifies to how important it is to seek help to gain mental strength.
Shamita Shetty proved that there can be hope even in struggle.
This journey in the Bigg Boss house injured her, but therapy and courage took care of her again.
Now she is ready to be seen back in full form with new projects.
