Looks like Sourabh Patel is not actually a farmer, as he claimed in his introduction video...
Season 12 of controversial reality TV show Bigg Boss is currently reigning the TV screens across the country. This time again, there's an interesting mix of celebrities as well as commoners inside the house. Another twist this season is that some contestants have entered the house in jodis. One of the jodis in Bigg Boss 12 is that of Sourabh Patel and hs friend Shivashish Mishra.
On Bigg Boss 12 grand premiere, Sourabh Patel claimed to be a farmer by profession in his introduction video. But looks like he may just have faked his identity for the sake of being on the Salman Khan hosted show.
Why do we say so? Well, a if a report on the IndianExpress.com is to be believed, then Sourabh is apparently an assistant casting director and an aspiring actor. Not just that, the portal further suggests that his real name is not even Sourabh Patel, but Sahil Rameshwar Patel.
The report quoted a known TV casting director as saying, "While I haven’t worked with Sahil, I have known him for a long time now. He used to work as an assistant to a lot of my colleagues. It’s surprising to see him on Bigg Boss. He has changed his look after growing a beard. He has always been street smart and jugadu. Guess, he managed to trick the makers.”
For those who've come in late, at the time of entering the Bigg Boss house, Sourabh shared that he's a farmer from Jabalpur, representing the common man on the show, alongwith her businessman friend Shivashish Mishra. The portal also suggests that it's not just Sourabh who has apparently faked his identity to be on the show, but his partner Shivashish too has lied about his profession.
While Shivashish claimed to be a businessman, the pictures of him that are doing the rounds on social media suggest that he is a model by profession. The casting director further told the portal about Sourabh's financial background and said, "He worked on a salary of Rs 15,000 and was desperately trying to become an actor. Seeing him drive a high-end car in his video was amusing to see. Well, none of us have too much clue if he has a farming background but he definitely does not own acres of land as he had claimed on the stage in front of Salman Khan."
Speaking about the jodi of Sourabh and Shivashish on the show, the duo does lack the chemistry of 'friends'. While Sourabh is one of those who've remained calm and composed in the house, Shivashish has been involved in heated arguments with Sreesanth and others as well. While Sourabh comes across as a simpleton, handling things maturely, Shivashish has come across as a hot-tempered fellow.
