What is Shamita Shetty's real age? Why Bigg Boss OTT contestant Akshara Singh calls her 'Maasi'?

Since starting Bigg Boss OTT is in the news. Karan Johar hosts the show, and the show has started getting ugly with all the arguments and controversies currently happening inside the house.
 

In a recent episode, Bhojpuri actress Akshara Singh one of the players in the show and Shamita Shetty had a heated argument. It all started with over a granola bar. Akshara commented that Shamita should keep her starry attitude and that she is as old as her mother. 
 

In discussion with fellow contestant Urfi Javed, Akshara called Shamita as “maasi (maternal aunt)." The Bhojpuri actress, Akshara was surprised at how Shilpa Shetty's sister Shamita is in her early 40s? Considering how long she’s been working in the film industry. 
 

Not just that after this comment, Kamaal R Khan, better known as KRK commented on his Twitter handle in the same. KRK, who was also a co-contestant on Bigg Boss 3 with Shamita, said, “#BiggBoss house contestants are correct about #ShamitaShetty! I did #BiggBoss3 with her in 2009, when she was 35 years old. So now she is 48 years old.” 
 

However, many social media users took Shamita’s side and reminded KRK that even her older sister Shilpa Shetty was younger than 48. One user wrote, “Rubbish. Shilpa is 46 how can Shamita be 48,” another said, “Google it man #ShamitaShetty." According to Google and other reports, Shamita is 42 years old.
 

This is Shamita Shetty's second innings in Bigg Boss show. She had been on Bigg Boss season 3 in 2009, that time she walked out of the show because Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra were getting married.
