Shiv Thakare is one of the most renowned personalities in Salman Khan's controversial reality show, Bigg Boss 16. His charming aura and friendly nature are among the few reasons why he is in everyone's good books. The 33-year-old has his own group rather 'mandali' that includes Sajid Khan, MC Stan, Abdu Rozik, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, and Sumbul Touqeer Khan. These six contestants are very thick together and it's always these six against the remaining contestants in this season. 

When Shiv Thakare opened up about ex-girlfriend, Veena Jagtap

There was a phase in between where Shiv Thakare felt extremely emotional and demotivated. When asked by Sajid Khan and his 'madali', Shiv stated that he feels lonely at times and misses his former girlfriend, Veena Jagtap. He then showed them Veena's name tattoo. Shiv's fans are well aware that he is a fitness enthusiast and refrains from getting any tattoo done on his body. However, his love for Veena made him amend this rule for himself and got Veena's name inked on his wrist.

He has been conducting his game like nobody else and has got enormous support from his fans till date. He knows what he is doing, and is not under any labyrinth. He has earned love and respect and that's all matters.

Her reaction to Shiv's tattoo and would she be fine if they reconciled

It is completely his lookout, I have nothing to say on this. He has been independent and has been taking his decisions on his own.

Anyone from the house, she thinks is a perfect match for Shiv Thakare

I don't think so there's any girl inside the house that my son finds a potential partner in, having said that he is there to play his game and I want him to win once he's out of the house.
