Bigg Boss 19 contestant Awez Darbar, who was recently evicted from the much-talked-about reality show, spoke to Times of India TV for a candid chat. In the interaction, the social media influencer addressed the buzz around him allegedly paying a Rs 2 crore penalty and voluntarily walking out to avoid his ex-girlfriend, who was speculated to enter as the next wildcard. Awez dismissed the rumours and made it clear that he did not pay any kind of penalty.
Speaking about his elimination, Awez said, "I want to clarify something straight away, neither I nor my family did anything like that. Regarding the allegation of Rs 2 crore, let me make it clear once and for all, because I know people will keep asking me the same thing repeatedly. Nothing of that sort ever happened. Honestly, if someone had actually given me that money, I would have happily accepted it and walked away. Neither my family nor I paid any money. I'm kidding. I didn’t leave paying any kind of penalty. I genuinely love reality shows. Earlier, when I was part of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, I had to quit because of an injury, and that really upset me. I always wanted to continue. So when I finally got a chance to join Bigg Boss, the number one reality show, why would I ever walk out? Staying in the house itself is like earning crores, 2, 4, 5, or even 6. Leaving midway would only harm me, so why would I do that?."
Awez went on to express his disappointment, saying both he and his family were upset with his eviction. He also questioned the makers for bringing Gauahar Khan on Weekend Ka Vaar only to eliminate him immediately after. "My family and I are still shocked by what happened, and honestly, I’m very disappointed. I even wondered, if they really wanted to eliminate me, why did they bring Gauahar on WKV? They could have just given me another week. At least then I could have played for one more week and people would have seen more of my game. And I refuse to believe that I didn’t get enough votes, especially when I was trending No.1 on Twitter and my videos were going viral. If so many people are showing me love, why would they want me out? I never harmed anyone inside the house. But in the end, I accept it’s part of the game," he said.
The popular social media influencer further shared the things he learnt on the show, "My biggest takeaway is that I had an amazing experience in Bigg Boss. If I ever get another opportunity, I would go back without a second thought. It’s truly the best show, it teaches you about life, standing up for yourself, and building your personality. Before entering, I was a very soft-hearted person. But Bigg Boss has toughened me up. Earlier I was like soft ice cream, all sweet and mushy on the outside with a cone beneath. Now, that cone has become stronger. The softness is still there, but it’s within me, reserved only for those close to me. With everyone else, whether Abhishek or the other housemates, I treated them well, but I also learned to be firm," he concluded.
