​Here's a list of Bigg Boss couples who were accused of faking love for cameras

Over the past 16 years, there have been many contestants who fell in love in the Bigg Boss house. Now whether they really fell in love or were faking it to create drama, well, only they know. But the audiences are smart and at every point, they have rejected romances that they felt were not real. The latest is the Shalin Bhanot-Tina Datta love story that viewers feel is fake. Here's a look at other contestants as well...

2/9

​Shalin Bhanot and Tina Datta

Since the beginning Shalin and Tina got along well. Some time later, they began to share a love-hate friendship. Tina made her stance clear that she was not interested in Shalin. It almost looked like their friendship was over but in the episode on Sunday, she confessed her feelings for Shalin by saying, 'You have made me fall in love.' Looking at this ever-changing equation, not only housemates but also audiences feel that this love is fake.

3/9

​Gautam Vig and Soundarya Sharma

Bigg Boss 16 contestants Gautam Singh Vig and Soundarya Sharma's relationship has been in the eye of controversy ever since they came together. Not just the audience, but even host of the show Salman Khan asked if they were faking love. Now that Gautam is out of the show, Soundarya said that she doesn't miss him and post that, Gautam in an interview said she must have faked the romance.

4/9

​Rakhi Sawant and Ritesh

Rakhi Sawant and Ritesh entered Bigg Boss 15. She introduced him as her husband. From day one, everyone felt it was fake. A few months post Bigg Boss, they parted ways and Rakhi said it ended because Ritesh was already married!

5/9

​Miesha Iyer and Ieshaan Sehgaal

In Bigg Boss 15, contestants Ieshaan Sehgaal and Miesha Iyer grabbed attention with their lovey-dovey acts. The two were often seen holding hands, kissing and hugging. Ieshaan confessed his feelings for Meisha and said that he would marry her. Many people questioned their love and wondered how one could fall in love in a week. After the show ended, they dated for a few months and then split saying they were not compatible.

6/9

​Gautam Gulati and Diandra Soares

Bigg Boss 8 couple Diandra Soares and Gautam Gulati were very different from each other. The two couldn’t get their hands off each other and their romance in the bathroom too became the talk of the town. But after leaving the house, Gautam clearly said that he was just friends with Diandra and there was nothing more to it! Viewers weren't surprised because they knew it all along.

7/9

​Ashmit Patel and Sara Khan

Ashmit Patel and Sara Khan got close when Bigg Boss 4 just began. People suspected that they were faking it for the cameras. Eventually they were proven right because Ashmit got close to Veena Malik on the show and Sara married her beau Ali Merchant who made an entry as a wild card.

8/9

​Karishma Kotak and Vishal Karwal

In Bigg Boss 6, Karishma Kotak and Vishal Karwal connected instantly. Just when viewers felt Vishal was getting close to Sana Khan, Karishma's entry in the house saw him shift loyalty. The couple dated for a while after coming out of the house, but finally separated.

9/9

​Claudia Ciesla and Pravesh Rana

Claudia Ciesla and Pravesh Rana from season 3 proved that love has no language. Claudia couldn't understand Hindi, yet the two fell in love in the house. But after the show got over, the two went their separate ways. So what was that in the house?
