Bigg Boss 5: Just who is Shraddha Sharma?

As the race to gain maximum attention in the Bigg Boss house intensifies, the likes of Pooja Missra and Mahek Chahal, who pick up fights for absurd reasons, now have a mighty rival in Shraddha Sharma.

After keeping a slightly low profile, the starlet has started playing troublemaker. And her efforts are paying off.

We bring here a lowdown on the actress, who, so far, had been known as the woman who broke Shweta Tiwari and Raja Chowdhary's marriage.

Shraddha Sharma has acted in a couple of Hindi TV serials and movies in different regional languages like Bhojpuri, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada.

She has done two big-banner Kannada films Jeeva and Jai Ho. She has done some commercials for brands like Nerolac, Taj country club, Dettol, Lizol, Mortein etc.

Shradha's wardrobe malfunction and her association with Raja Chaudhary, ex husband of Shweta Tiwari are major controversies of her.

She shot to fame when she claimed that her boyfriend Raja beat her up. Later, Raja clarified that both of them were beating each other and he was injured too.

She is a taekwondo player and he had more body marks compared to her.  He added that they were not drunk and it was a problem between two people that was unneccesarily blown out of proportion.

The wardrobe malfunction incident happened while Shraddha was doing a photo shoot for a dance video in Kerala for an item song, where she wore a low neck bustier that came off.

Shradha broke up with Raja twice, once after he failed her loyalty test on reality show Emotional Atyachar and then after he beat her up resulting in her hospitalization.

Raja was caught two-timing on a reality show but he apologized and promised her that he would never cheat her again. She forgave him and the couple reconciled.  But later there were reports about it being a publicity stunt by struggling artists.

Apparently just before entering Bigg Boss Shraddha revealed that Raja is a closed chapter in her life.  According to her she is a peace-loving person, and the complications and controversies in his life were affecting her.

But she confessed that she has a new man in her life and refused to mention the name of the person and said that she reveal his identity after she comes out of the Bigg Boss house.

Recently after Shraddha went inside the Bigg Boss house, Bhojpuri and Tamil actress Neesha Yadav has openly accused her of two-timing Raja and using him to promote and boost her own career graph. 

According to her, Shraddha used him to get where she eventually wanted to -- in the Bigg Boss house.

Neesha added that Shraddha was to blame because Raja got angry when he realised that Shraddha was two-timing him and when she realised her goals were on the way she dumped him.
