Actor and dentist Yamini Malhotra, who entered the reality show Bigg Boss 18 as a wildcard contestant shared her real estate woes after struggling to find a house in Mumbai. In a comprehensive post on Instagram, Yamini ranted about landlords refusing her houses based on her profession and also asking medieval questions about religion while running a background check.
Yamini took to Instagram and shared a post which read, "Hello guys, I just want to share something that's been really disheartening. As much as I love Mumbai, finding a home here has been a tough journey. I have been asked questions like, âAre you Hindu or Muslim?' âGujarati or Marwadi?' And as soon as people hear I am an actor, they outright refuse. Does being an actor make me less deserving of a home? It's shocking how these questions still exist in 2025. Can we really call this the city of dreams if dreams come with conditions?"
Yamini has been a part of the television show Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin as well as films like Main Teri Tu Mera and Chuttalabbai. She was evicted from Bigg Boss 18 within a couple of weeks.
