Inside Bigg Boss 14 house, Vikas Gupta had alleged that his mother cut ties with him after he came out as a bisexual. Now his mother Sharda Gupta has issued a statement in which she set the record straight on the strained relationship with Vikas. She stated, To think that we actually distanced our own (son) for his sexual orientation is equal to making a derogatory statement about my family. Yes, my son and I are not on great terms but that has nothing to do with his orientation."
Vikas' mother went on to write, "We had cut off ties with him much before he decided to come out in public, and we knew and have always loved him and accepted him the way he is. So the news about us distancing him cause of his choices is a complete hoax fabricated to one’s convenience. But sometimes, when you give too much love, you risk being taken for granted. Unfortunately, we distanced ourselves from him but despite that, we maintained silence because unlike him, we didn’t want to paint a bad picture of him in the media."
She added, "This matter would have never reached this far had my son not decided to cast aspersions against us. We had decided to give him due respect, but he couldn’t allow us our peace, which as a family, is our defeat. This would be my first and the last statement on the same as I don’t intend to carry on with this blame game and I would request everyone to understand and give us the respect and privacy we deserve. Thank you."
Meanwhile, during the recent episode of Bigg Boss 14, Vikas was heard telling to Arshi Khan about his mother. He said, "Yahan aake realise hua ki main maa se bahut pyaar karta hoon. Mere chote bhai se sabse zyaada pyaar kiya, wahaan pe galti hui. Meri maa chin li, mere papa 30 saal se mere saath nahi the. Sirf baad mein aaye the, jab ye sab hua, dekhne ki main zinda hoon ya nahi (After coming here, I realised that I love my mother too much. I loved my brother the most but that was my fault, he snatched my mother. My dad did not visit me for 30 years and came back only to see if I am alive)."
Talking about his mother confronted him about pushing Arshi into the pool, Vikas went on to say, "She said she knew why I pushed you. She said ‘You did not want Arshi to say those things’. No one knew you would stop at just saying that I do not take care of my mom."
He also shared another incident regarding his mother stating, "They (family members) celebrated a birthday and my mother came all the way from Dehradun. But they never invited me and worse was that even my mom did not visit me."
