Pooja Bhatt, Irfan Pathan and others extend support to S Sreesanth ahead of Big Boss 12 final

It’s almost the day of the finale of Bigg Boss 12, the celebrity competition, and support is pouring in thick and fast for the finalists – five of them – including former national cricketer S Sreesanth. The other four competitors are Romil Chaudhury, Dipika Kakar, Karanvir Bohra – all TV personalities – besides Deepak Thakur who is a singer.

Their friends and supporters are flowing in blessings and wishes to see their favourite candidate bag the title of the 12th edition of one of the most popular television reality shows in India. Among Sreesanth’s supporters is Pooja Bhatt – the actor-turned-director of Bollywood who recently cast the former cricketer in her upcoming film ‘Cabaret’ said she wanted to see her close friend bag the title.

She urged all the supporters to come forward to back the 35-year-old who has been a member of two World Cup-winning squads for India. Sreesanth was banned by the BCCI after the pace bowler’s name was found involved in a fixing scandal in the Indian Premier League and played his last competitive game of cricket in 2013 for the Rajasthan Royals.
