New Delhi: Former Bigg Boss contestant Arshi Khan earned massive fandom after her successful stint on the controversial reality show. She was first seen in season 11 and yet again came as a wild card in season 14 respectively. 

Arshi Khan clearing the air about her roots and how she is bullied online, told Times of India, "I have a hard time when people unnecessarily target and troll me while questioning me over my citizenship. They misunderstand me to be a citizen of Pakistan who is living in India. And for this confusion at times, I have suffered on my work front too. These are such sad experiences of life. I want to make it clear once and for all that I am an Indian in every way. I own all Indian government approved identity cards. I am not from Pakistan, but very much from India itself."
