Bigg Boss 19 delivered one of its most unexpected revelations during a light-hearted moment in the Family Week episode. Pranit’s brother, Prayag, struck up a casual conversation with fellow contestant Malti, sister of Indian cricketer Deepak Chahar, and asked her a seemingly simple question: Does she like cricket?
The answer stunned everyone.
Malti admitted she has no interest in cricket, a surprising confession considering her brother is a prominent face in the sport. Explaining her stance, she said, “Maine ghar mein itna cricket suna hai… cricket ke liye hi jeeye hai papa aur Deepak.” Growing up in a household where cricket dominated every conversation and routine, she revealed that the sport consumed their family’s life.
She went on to share an emotional anecdote about the sacrifices her family made during Deepak’s early cricketing years. Malti recalled that her father became so dedicated to Deepak’s career that he “went bald when Deepak started playing cricket” and even stopped celebrating birthdays and festivals to remain entirely focused on the game.
The lifelong pressure and relentless cricket-centric atmosphere took a toll on Malti, “Koi mujhe bolta hai na cricketer ko date kyu nahi karti… isse zyada cricket main nahi jhel sakti,” she said with a mix of humor and exhaustion, clarifying that she avoids dating cricketers simply because she cannot handle more cricket in her life.
Her candid admission has sparked widespread conversation among viewers, who appreciated the honesty and the rare glimpse into the unseen emotional burden often carried by families of professional athletes.
As Family Week continues to bring out personal stories and unexpected revelations, Malti’s heartfelt confession stands out as one of the season’s most relatable and revealing moments.
