Shiv Thakare: After my Bigg Boss win, my mother used to feed people who came to meet me in transport tempos

Bigg Boss Season 16 first runner-up Shiv Thakare, who is currently shooting for Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 13, revisits memories of his win and his mother's resilience. 

Whenever Shiv Thakare goes in public, he makes sure to talk and give selfies to every person around him, and this is because of his mother. While explaining that, Shiv said, “After winning Bigg Boss 16, when I came home, people used to come to meet me from different parts of Maharashtra, and my mother used to insist them to stay back and eat and go. Our house was so small, it got full of people, and there was no place to make them sit and eat, but I salute my mother who arranged some transport tempos to make them sit and eat. For all of them, she cooked herself. When I asked her why you are doing all this, it's not practically possible, she said never forget those who always supported you and make sure you give them the time they deserve.”  

Winner of Bigg Boss Marathi Season 2, Shiv Thakare has also participated in MTV Roadies Rising season 14. Hailing from a middle-class family from Amravati, Shiv, who is also an engineer, was ranked First in The Times of India's Top 15 Most Desirable Men on Marathi Television in 2019. 

Mamma’s boy Shiv Thakare’s ‘dream big’ philosophy comes from his mother only. “My mother always taught me to dream big and work hard towards it; it's ok if you don’t have things in your hand but don’t fear and just fight. “  

With his all-fighting spirit, Shiv Thakare is currently shooting for another reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 13, in South Africa.
