Raqesh captioned the picture as, “U and I,” along with a red heart emoji and the hashtag “ShaRa.” Her fans affectionately call her ShaRa. While on the digital reality show, Raqesh and Shamita gained a lot of attention due to their growing closeness and soft romance. They even admitted to having feelings for each other on the show.

Raqesh was earlier married to Ridhi Dogra for eight years before they parted ways amicably in 2019. They are still on good terms with each other. Both Raqesh and Ridhi had released a joint statement announcing their separation that read, “Yes, we are living separately… We are two best friends who may not be a couple anymore.”
