Actress Sangeeta Bhat exits Bigg Boss due to health issues
Actress Sangeeta Bhat has withdrawn from the reality show Bigg Boss due to sudden health complications. During a recent task, Bhat experienced severe breathing difficulties, requiring immediate medical attention in the show's confession room.
Following medical advice, Bhat decided to exit the competition prematurely. Her departure resulted in the cancellation of this week's scheduled elimination process, providing safety to the other nominated contestants. Upon her exit, the show's host, Kiccha Sudeep, and the production team presented her with a cash prize of 3.50 lakh rupees.
In a subsequent interview, Bhat revealed that her condition was linked to recurring panic attacks. She explained that while she underwent medical testing before entering the house, the mental stress of the environment caused her psychological well-being to decline, which subsequently manifested as physical symptoms. She noted that continuing in the show could have worsened her condition and expressed willingness to step down to allow other contestants an opportunity.
