Exclusive - Falaq Naaz on life after losing Tunisha Sharma: I couldn't face camera or give auditions, had lost all the confidence

Falaq Naaz, last seen in Bigg Boss OTT season 2, was loved for playing her game in a dignified manner. The actress and her family went through a difficult phase after the alleged suicide of actress Tunisha Sharma with whom the entire family shared a strong bond. Falaq stood like a rock for her family during the rough patch and they are slowly getting back to life. In an exclusive conversation with ETimes TV, Falaq opened up about her journey in Bigg Boss OTT 2, seeing brother Sheezan in jail and missing Tunisha. The Sasural Simar Ka actress shared that there was a phase after the incident when she couldn't face camere and had lost all the confidence. (Photo: Instagram)

Being a part of Bigg Boss and staying inside the house for 5 weeks is a big achievement I feel. The show was for six weeks, I was there for 5 weeks later it got extended for two weeks and I consider it a big thing that I could survive that long. As far as requesting or pleading anyone to not nominate me or playing games, I don’t believe in doing this. As a person I don’t think anyone has the power to decide your fate or give you something which is not in your destiny. I’m satisfied with my journey and the show was not everything for me, I had to come back to the real life also and face people. You can’t please everyone in life. (Photo: Instagram)

I have earned two relationships from the Bigg Boss OTT season 2 house and they are Jad and Avinash and these two friendships are going to stay with me forever. These relationships will stay for lifetime. Jad is now busy with his daughter so I’m not disturbing him. Avinash and I keep meeting and chatting with each other. (Photo: Instagram)

I was never scared of taking up Bigg Boss. Main tab darrti jab, Mera parivar Yaa main galat hoti. I know one thing that if you know your truth, toh seena thok ke saamne aao. People are going to think what they want to think about it. It is better that you put out your self on a national platform and let them judge you. Maine tabhi decide kiya tha soch ban gayi hai and I can’t go to each and every individual to explain my side. So, it’s better let them see me on the show and judge. (Photo: Instagram)

After whatever my family and I’ve gone through it would have been very difficult for me to portray a character in a TV show or face camera. There was a phase in my life after the incident (Tunisha's death) when I was not able to say dialogues, lines and couldn’t give auditions. Mera confidence Bilkul khatam ho chuka tha… Bigg Boss was a correct platform for me and it happened at the right time. I wanted to show the people, the real me. (Photo: Instagram)

I wanted to be a part of an environment where I’m surrounded by cameras but I don’t have to act. This is what exactly happened. Bigg Boss helped me get my confidence back. Now, I’m missing to get back to acting and playing characters. (Photo: Instagram)

It was the month of April and I’d to record an audition, Sheezan was around at home. I was trying to record my auditions but just couldn’t say the lines. I started crying inconsolably and gave some 12-13 takes. Sheezan came to me and calmed me down but I couldn’t understand what was happening to me. (Photo: Instagram)

I told Sheezan, I’ve done so many mythological characters but now I’m not able to say my lines. He calmed me down and told me hota hai, leave it. That moment I understood that it is not happening. The entire week I was in a shocked state. I was not able to understand how to get out of it and was clueless. And suddenly Bigg Boss OTT was offered to me. It was a perfect platform and I did not even think for a second before accepting the offer. (Photo: Instagram)

I can’t describe the moment what Sheezan has been through in words and what we all went through during that period. I just pray to God nobody goes through it. It was a very difficult phase and it is impossible to explain in words. (Photo: Instagram)

There’s an emptiness in life now and every year December is going to haunt us. Ye khali jagah ab Kabhi bhar nahi sakti hai Aur uska kuch ho nahi sakta. Jitna waqt saath mein guzara it was beautiful. Not everyone can understand connections and I strongly believe that there are genuine connections in life. Sometimes you form a bond in a short span of time and you feel aap barso se Ek dusre ko jaante ho… (Photo: Instagram)

All the time that I’ve spent with her (Tunisha) was beautiful and I want to remember it always like that. I miss her a lot and at each and every moment, I miss her. Even during Bigg Boss, there were days when I would miss her a lot because there were situations in the house which reminded me of her… Woh Kabhi Dil se remove nahi ki jaa sakti. (Photo: Instagram)

There is no 'Undo button' in real life and whatever has happened, you have to face it. Aap ko sabar karke aage badh Na he padta hai, I can only pray that wherever she is now, she’s happy and at peace. (Photo: Instagram)
