Last night, we saw that Manu Punjabi’s fiancee Priya Saini lashed out at Mona Lisa for trying to get too close to her beau inside the Bigg Boss 10 house. She described her man as a friendly bloke who does not have any hidden intentions. Just after that, she got the news that Manu’s mother, Sujata Punjabi had expired in Jodhpur. She was in her late 70s and was suffering from respiratory issues. Sujata was living with her eldest son, Amar and his wife, Mili. Manu is also born in Jodhpur but raised in Jaipur. This was indeed a huge loss for the Bigg Boss contestant who is said to be extremely attached to his mother.

Priya told JT, “She suffered a cardiac arrest on Friday night and was declared brought dead to the hospital. She was in her 70s.” It seems the lady came to know about it after she went to the hotel after shooting for ‘Salman ki sabha’. She says she came to know around midnight and informed the makers about it. Priya requested them to allow Manu to come out of the house so that they could be with the family in Jodhpur. She says, ” It’s a difficult time for us, especially for Manu, as he was extremely close to his mother.”
Manu reached Jodhpur early on Saturday to complete the last rites. Priya also said that he would be returning back to the house after a few days. Last year, we saw that Keith Sequeira had to leave the house mid-way after his brother Ian passed away suddenly. He made a comeback after a few weeks and had a pretty long stint. A few seasons earlier Karishma Kotak also left the house mid-way due to her father’s demise. (Also Read: Bigg Boss 10: Manu Punjabi makes an emergency exit and the reason is really sad)
The episode of Manu Punjabi’s sudden exit will be aired tonight. It seems Bigg Boss will not inform him of the tragedy inside the house but tell him to leave the premises immediately. Later, he would be told of the same. Manu is one of the most promising commoner contestants inside the house. His romance with Bhojpuri actress Mona Lisa is making news. With his one-liners, aggression and slightly flirty nature, he is quite a guy.
