Bigg Boss
house, it has now emerged that Patel also recorded a song about the incident two days before entering the show.
The song,
Apni Kahani Apni Zubani
, sees Patel team up with rap star IshQ Bector. The two have co-written the Hinglish song, which was released on YouTube on Tuesday evening and has Patel rapping about the MMS scandal: “Something or another kept falling out of place, a leaked MMS, and disgrace, slapped on my face.
