Popular Bigg Boss contestant Vikas Gupta, who appeared in the 11th season of the show hosted by Salman Khan, revealed months ago that he identified himself as bisexual and that he had admitted the same to his family as well.

Vikas Gupta has been going through a rough period ever since he came out. He was reportedly not invited to his brother Siddharth's birthday party that happened last week as Vikas' revelation had caused an alleged strain in their relationship. Vikas also claimed that his mother and brother had left the house when they learned of his sexual orientation. "My brother Sid and my mother left my home some time ago, things had gone very bad after I disclosed my bisexuality to the world. My family finds it embarrassing to have me around them. They don't want to be seen with me," Vikas Gupta reportedly said, as quoted by a news agency. "Our society can be difficult, so not inviting me to the birthday is fine. I don't wish to spoil their celebrations," he added.

In an emotional note he posted on his Instagram handle earlier in June this year, Vikas informed people of his bisexuality. "Here I am, how I am - Standing tall and I will not be shamed bullied or blackmailed for what God has made me. It has been years of torture and humiliation and hiding my emotions but that has not stopped me from being a good human being who is constantly evolving. I have made mistakes and I will continue to do so but I am learning and not repeating them. I will move shed to do better," he had written.
