Shiv Thakare's family has issued a statement after he was accused of wearing Vikkas Manaktala's clothes inside the Bigg Boss 16 house. Vikkas' wife Gunnjan had accused Shiv of using the clothes she had sent for her husband during his stay inside the house. In a latest, Shiv Thakare's family has called these allegations as "distasteful and derogatory".
“Since Bigg Boss is over for some people, it seems like they still continue to play the game even after getting out of the house! We as Shiv’s team continue to maintain a dignified silence on all things said by other people as we know that his fans and his people know the kind of person Shiv is, who would never stoop down low or even try to be a part of any frivolity," read the official statement.
“Having said that, there have been several people and the recent one’s being Vikkas and Gunnjan who have levied some really distasteful and derogatory allegations on Shiv. For the record, not just one or two but Shiv has a team of three stylists styling him for the show and there’s no dearth of clothes, shoes or any other necessary things in the house," it added.
In the statement, it was also mentioned that the family is deeply hurt by these allegations.
“But without even consulting or even trying to asses the entire matter, Mrs. Manatkala has gone ahead and said frivolous things for Shiv which has deeply hurt the sentiments of his fans and family. While the matter is being looked into internally, We request the media to not write anything just because they have the power to say or write so. And we will give a counter reply to this once we come to know what the exact scenario was and will surely take this in legal fashion," read the statement.
Earlier, Gunnjan had shared pictures of the clothes she had sent for Vikkas during his stay inside the house, and she alleged that these clothes never made it to him. Then she said, that she saw Shiv wearing those clothes inside the house.

Earlier, Vikkas had landed himself in trouble after he made an alleged casteist remark against co-contestant Archana Gautam. However, he later clarified himself, saying it was just a slip of the tongue.
"I never said this - neechi jati ke log. I want to clearly say on record that it was a slip of tongue. It was not neechi jaati, I meant to say neechi soch. I never look at any caste, creed or sex in a disrespectful way," Vikkas told India Today after being evicted from Bigg Boss 16.
