Mumbai: Advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte, a contestant on Bigg Boss 18, made an unexpected exit from the show on October 14, 2024. His departure follows his absence from a critical legal hearing regarding the Maratha reservation case in the Bombay High Court, a case that has garnered significant attention in Maharashtra.
According to sources, Sadavarte missed his court appearance due to his commitment to the reality show, which led to the judges expressing their displeasure. The court had been hearing multiple petitions related to the controversial Maratha reservation issue, a legal matter that Sadavarte, along with his wife, Jaishri Patil, had been actively challenging.
On the day of the missed hearing, the bench took note of Sadavarte’s absence, and when informed about his involvement in Bigg Boss, the Chief Justice remarked with frustration, stating, “He is enjoying better company there.” The court has now scheduled the next hearing for November 19, during which Maharashtra’s Advocate General will present the government’s case.
Sadavarte’s wife and legal team reportedly decided to pull him out of the Bigg Boss house to focus on the ongoing case. While his team has suggested that the advocate could return to the show, no final decision has been made by the show’s producers. Sadavarte had gained popularity on the show for his unique style of speaking and witty remarks, which even host Salman Khan had acknowledged during the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes.
