Rutuja Dharmadhikari (रुतुजा धर्माधिकारी) is an Indian actress from Pune, Maharashtra, primarily known for her work in Marathi television. She became a household name in Maharashtra through her portrayal of 'Sushlya' - a ghost character - in the popular Marathi horror serial Ratris Khel Chale on Colors Marathi, which built her a strong fan following and made her synonymous with Marathi horror television. Her frequent use of English words while speaking Marathi in the Bigg Boss house became a running joke that host Mahesh Manjrekar himself playfully highlighted. She entered Bigg Boss Marathi Season 1 in April 2018 as one of the fifteen original contestants, arriving on stage with a characteristic horror performance that delighted the audience. She voluntarily walked out of the house on Day 34 (Week 5, 2018), finishing fourteenth overall.
