Shalin Bhanot's journey in Bigg Boss has been quiet a mixed bag of emotions. From his flamboyant side to a serious dude to a teenage lover boy, we've seen it all in the last 3 weeks. 


Known to wear his heart on his sleeve, Shalin went down memory lane and opened his heart out in a conversation with Priyanka where he's seen talking about his adopted dog Swag who he'd rescued. 


In the footage, we see an almost teary-eyed Shalin who talks about rescuing a pet dog who was abandoned in Mumbai's Ghatkopar.  He goes on to say that if it wasn't for his dog whom he now fondly calls Swag, he wouldn't be able to survive the pandemic. 


When Priyanka pushes him further to share his story, he confesses to being in a dark phase of his life when the Pandemic started. During the first lockdown when the restrictions were stringent, he sent in an ambulance & made arrangements for the dog to be brought home.

The actor shared how he looked up the internet for every minor detail and took it as a responsibility to heal his dog & raise him on his own. 

He said the dog saved him in ways more than one.
