Ansari and Sinha, while speaking to media persons last Thursday had revealed that Bigg Boss OTT’s Manisha Rani used fake “paid news” articles in reputed publications and digital platforms to get verified on Instagram and obtain the coveted “blue tick” – the sign that the account or profile is genuine and is what it claims to be.

Dj Dolly Sinha shared and played a voice recording, that according to her was Manisha Rani’s voice discussing and arguing with someone on the phone she referred to as one “Saurabh” regarding the “blue tick” on her Instagram profile. The so-called Manisha Rani’s voice in the audio clip also referred to a “news article” on a reputed digital platform. According to Dj Dolly Sinha’s claims the audio in the clip is that of Manisha Rani and the reference to “Saurabh” refers to actor Saurabh Sharma, who was last seen in the television show Bhagya Lakshmi in a negative role of Aashish and who is supposedly a supporter of Manisha Rani.

Dj Dolly, while speaking to the media along with social media influencer and actor – Faizan Ansari, who stood up in favour of the former, alleged that Manisha Rani’s life was full of fake incidents aimed to get her into the reality show by hook or by crook.

She had also mentioned an incident involving a famous personality and actor Akshara Singh, who had interacted with Manisha Rani and explained how the latter ridiculed the former behind her back and had allegedly said very nasty things about her in her absence. Manisha Rani’s management has said that all the claims made by Dj Dolly Sinha are completely fake, frivolous and a publicity stunt.

The duo Sinha and Ansari had also alleged that Manisha Rani did not pay Sinha’s dues and a loan which she had given her and had further refused to even take her calls because she did not intend to clear the debt and repay the loan. “She (Manisha Rani) stole my clothes, make up items and even undergarments,” Dj Dolly Sinha had alleged during the press conference. Manisha’s management team has debunked all these statements and called them “outrightly fake”.
