It was a great experience, something very adventurous which I did not expect. Since it was the first season I was totally unaware as to what would happen in the game. I was completely naive when I entered the show. I don’t think I could have expected a more adventurous journey than this. It was a crazy, roller coaster ride and a great experience.

Yes, there was a phase when I had lost interest in the game as my ex, my past came on the show who I don’t even want to name, as I don’t want to give unnecessary importance to that particular person. After he entered the show I was so disgusted because I didn’t want to see his face again and again. I was really disinterested at one point of time. That was a wrong decision and I understood because it was my game and I was involved since day 1. I shouldn’t have lost interest in the game. But this is how I am in real life. I don’t regret whatever decision and calls I took inside. (Photo: Instagram)

I felt a little bad about not getting a single vote. I felt bad as Karanvir did not vote for me. I expected it from him. I was thick friends with Nisha and Shivam and I knew if I ever got into trouble they would be there to save me. But unfortunately both of them were in the danger zone with me. I expected from Karanvir as he was a close friend and thought he would support me. But in the end I understood it was an individual game and you shouldn’t take anyone’s friendship so seriously in the game. (Photo: Instagram)

No, my past does not bother me anymore. It has been done and dusted. I don’t want to give any importance to that person (Ali Merchant) and I don’t want my name to be again linked with him. That’s what affected me. I didn't want anywhere to be linked with me. “Jitna hona tha hogaya 12 saal se use ho he raha hai mera naam, Aaj bhi use ho raha hai.” Everyone knows why he was brought on the show and it has been used a lot and I feel now it is enough of it. Now he should be known because of her if he strongly believes which he keeps repeating that he was invited because of his work. (Photo: Instagram)

If he believes that it was not because of me and the past controversy we had. Then maintain that dignity and he shouldn’t have tortured me by trying to talk to me. Aap mujhse baat karna kyu chah rahe they, aap Apna game khelte… I had problem with that. Rest whatever happened in my life I don’t consider it as a mistake and everyone makes mistakes in their life. I think it was a lesson for me. He doesn’t affect me that much jitna Mera naam Uske saath likha hua aana affect karta hai… enough of using my name. (Photo: Instagram)

This is a reality show and the creative time tries its best to bring in the TRP. They want to give the audience the masala to get entertained. Bhale he Woh Humare life mein ajeeb situation create kare nobody cares about it. Masala matters a lot and I won’t say they cheated with me. Yes, but I was definitely upset, because I had clearly asked them before going in that will he be brought into the show and they had clearly denied it. When he entered I felt I was not ready to again go through all the torture and get publicity because of it. From my end I didn’t want to create any controversy because of my reactions. So I just ended and put a full stop. (Photo: Instagram)

I don’t want to talk about it. Also I am not allowed to speak about my secret even now. Maybe once the show is over if I am allowed I can talk about it. (Photo: Instagram)

Munawar is the biggest manipulator of the Lock Upp jail. Nisha is my friend. Ali Merchant is hungry for 2 minutes fame. Anjali Arora is Batameez, unki zabaan Woh Tameez Wali nahi hai. Karanvir Bohra is not trustworthy. (Photo: Instagram)
