Whoever had any doubts that former cricketer S Sreesanth entered the Bigg Boss 12 house to reveal his side of the story on what happened the fateful night when Harbhajan Singh slapped him, after Punjab had defeated Mumbai in a T20 League match way back in 2008, was answered when the show aired on Thursday night, November 22.
Explaining the episode in detail, Sreesanth accepted that his comment to Harbhajan after winning the match was a little too sarcastic and could have instigated the cricketer.
.@sreesanth36 ne bataya ki helpless feel kar rahe the woh isiliye rone lage the @harbhajan_singh se hue jhagde ke baad. #BB12 #BiggBoss12

In a quick bid to ensure his bridges with the cricketing community weren’t burnt any further, Sreesanth said he loves the Indian spinner and that the two have sorted out their differences.
He said they are in touch and will always be.
The revelation came as part of the captaincy task in the show. The task required the two contenders — Surbhi Rana and Deepak Thakur — to get ‘break sensational news stories’ from within the house. Since Sreesanth made the revelation to Surbhi, she ended up winning the task.
The revelation also helped Sreesanth win over lots of accolades from people on social media, for deciding to open up about the incident.
