Last week, in a sudden twist, ‘Tufni Seniors’ was asked to kick a contestant out of the nominee position. While Hina Khan and Gauhar Khan discussed Nishant Singh Malkani and Rahul Doctors, Siddharth Shukla took the name of Sarah Gurpal. Shukla managed to persuade the women and eventually Gurpal was thrown out of the house.
Unhappy with her early farewell, Gurpal, who was recovering from a major eye injury during the immunization process, shared that she had no choice but to move forward. For her part, the expulsion of a week before the vote is a shame, and she finds solitude that is not the case. However, he notes that the turn of events “never goes through my mind.”
In an exclusive chat with Indianexpress dot com, Sarah Gurpal spoke about Siddharth Shukla and her decision, saying that she loved all the parts and there was controversy about the marriage of Tushar Kumar.
Excerpt of the conversation:
When you are expelled, many expect a recession from you. However, you handled the situation very graciously.
I’m not a weeper about anything. My eyes hurt badly, but I didn’t tell you about it. I believe that any situation is better than running away from it. The whole house felt it was a wrong decision; However, because of one person, I was out. Bigg Boss had said earlier that the decision of the elders was final, so what can I do? However, I am very happy that people have loved me and shown so much support. For me, winning is more important than winning an award. I am proud to say that I entered the program with respect and raised my head.
Are you disappointed with the format of Bigg Boss 14 that the elders decided to throw out?
Overall, it haunts me. Truth be told, I’ve always been a fan of Bigg Boss and believe it has a good character, where Janta judges competitors based on his personality. However, in my case, it didn’t happen, and I thought it wasn’t good.
Hina and Gauhar are supporting you but after a point. What do you have to say about that?
I am so impressed with Siddhartha that he can influence anyone. They are such strong women – one winner, the other a runner, and they cannot stand up for themselves. Together they could stand their ground, but they did not. I still respect him, but I didn’t think Hina and Gauhar would give Siddharth so easily. To him, he was so adamant about throwing me out. Well, if that makes him happy, then so be it.
Many people thought Siddharth was cool to you after you called him ‘Punjab’s niece’. Did you feel the same?
I don’t think this is a real deal. In Punjab, everyone calls them ‘Jija’, which should not be for all of us. For work, they thought I wasn’t trying, but you can’t judge anyone with a single act. Also, I am not the kind of person to throw anything at them. I didn’t want people to think I could cross my limits for a task. At the end of the day, I believed you had to please the audience and not the elders. The format of this time was very bad.
But have you ever felt that Siddharth doesn’t like you while on the show?
Yeah, I felt like that, but that’s because we never developed a bond. I think we didn’t have much time to get to know each other or become friends. I don’t care though, I think the audience has seen it all. I know many people who stopped watching Bigg Boss after my expulsion because they thought it was unfair.
Given a chance, would you like to talk to Siddharth?
No, I don’t think I want to talk to them. Siddharthan too knows he is wrong, so it does not matter anymore. I think it is best to leave these things. God is watching, and honestly, the experience has given me courage and greater strength.
Before entering the show, you were right to tell us that when you leave, the fans will remember you and force your return. So if you’re allowed to re-enter the house as a wild card, are you interested?
Of course it is and only because I feel responsible for my fans. The love and support they showed towards me, I return to entertaining them again.
What are your competitors?
I have no complaints against anyone, but there are people who do nothing. And some people are overdoing things to be in the headlines. Look at Nikki Tamboli, she has no humanity and she is evil. Because of that, I suffered such a huge injury. I do not believe that their irrational demands are being cleared. For others, during my stay, I found Ijaz, Rubina, Abhinav, Pavithra and Shehzad to be really adorable. However, I want the audience to see and judge for themselves. That’s the beauty of this game. We have seen such wonderful weather, which I am terrified of at the moment, which is a lot of negativity.
While you were on the show, a man named Tushar Kumar claimed that the two of you were married. Is it a shock to face controversy as soon as Bigg Boss 14 departs?
This is not the first time they have done it, and I don’t really consider it except the controversy. Yeah, this is shocking to me because this guy is just waiting for me to disgrace him. Where was he in these five years? Now this is past me, and now he returns to his words. He got his 15 minutes of fame.
