Sreesanth and Dipika Kakar developed a pretty strong bond during their stint in the Bigg Boss house. The former started calling the actress his sister and they even hung out with their spouses after the show ended. However, the “brother-sister” relationship has hit a rocky patch.

It all started when their fans noticed that Sreesanth recently unfollowed Dipika on Instagram. The cricketer confirmed it to IndiaForums saying he did it because Dipika unfollowed his wife, Bhuvneshwari Kumari on Instagram.

Here’s what he said:

The one who doesn’t respect my wife will not be respected by me. My wife is my Shakti and support. Dipika’s fans used to abuse my wife and kids, she should have told them not to do that but she didn’t.

He further said:

Like how I told my Sreefam not to abuse her and they stopped. Dipika will be my sister because I respect that relationship but I won’t discuss this with her. I am sharing this with you, so that, people know the actual reason behind unfollowing Dipika.

We hope the two are able to mend their differences and get back on good terms.
