Raju Shrivastav Interview outside Bigg Boss

Raju Srivastav's funny side could not save him from eviction from the Bigg Boss house. He was nominated for the first time but it proved unlucky for him when people chose Vindoo Dara Singh and Pravesh Rana over him. Here is the interview(courtesy Rediff.com)

It seemed like you were not prepared to go out.

That's not true. I was mentally prepared to go out because I knew it was my turn. People have had enough of comedy, they want drama and fighting. And I was not doing that.

You were one of the most popular housemates in Bigg Boss. Why do you think the audience voted you out?

I was there for 63 days and I'm thankful to the public to keep me there so long. There have been many ups and downs in life; you can't be happy all the time. People want more aggression and arrogance on the show. Maybe that's why they saved Vindoo and Pravesh. I have no complaints because I am satisfied with the duration of my stay.

I was feeling low of late because of the verbal spats between Vindoo, Pravesh and Kamal Khan. That definitely troubled me.

You dressed like a woman for a week. Didn't that make you uncomfortable?

Nobody wished to take the hand grenade which Rohit Verma was to offer one of us. So I decided to take it up. I always wished to do things the rest wouldn't do. This task was a challenge. I decided to entertain the viewers dressed up like a woman. I tried to project rural as well as urban women. I borrowed lipstick and kajal from Poonamji (Dhillion). I had fun.

Who do you think played dirty games?

I would not like to take any names. Everyone is insecure. All of them are making mistakes and playing for money.

I want Vindoo to win because he entertains people. He has a good heart.

Would you like to go back to the house?

Yes, if I have the dates.

Tanaaz Irani and Aditi Govitrikar pulled off your pyjamas near the swimming pool, which created quite a controversy.

I was shocked. They should not have done it but I knew it was an accident, so I forgive them. I am told that the media aired the clipping and it certainly was controversial.

Sri Adhikari Brothers sent a legal notice to you when you were inside the house. Can you talk about that?

They are launching a channel later in the month and I am doing shows for them. No dates were decided when I entered the house. I had informed them that Bigg Boss would wind up towards the end of the month.

Rohit Verma's Interview outside Bigg Boss

Here are excerpts of Rohit Verma's interviews out of the Bigg Boss house. Courtesy: REDIFF.COM

After much plotting and planning against his housemates, Rohit Verma was evicted out of the Bigg Boss [ Images ] house. Even his apologies and tears did not change the audience's mind, as they voted the fashion designer out.

Rohit talks to Rajul Hegde about his time in Bigg Boss.

What was your Bigg Boss experience like?

It is a mix of good and bad memories. I entered the house like an innocent child and played games. Later, I got trapped in the manipulation and became a scapegoat. The people I depended upon used me emotionally. I was mentally harrowed at one point of time and even turned suicidal. After seeing the audio-visual, I was broken. That's why the psychiatrist changed the game and showed some of my good moments.

Why didn't you realise your mistakes before Bigg Boss exposed you?

You are living with 13 strangers. All of them hope to make it to the grand finale. To win becomes so important that you forget your individuality. The prize money is so huge that the greed comes automatically. A good amount of money is being paid for you to be on the show too. The longer you stay on the show, the higher your bank balance gets.

Do you think you were nominated only because Bigg Boss exposed you?

Yes. The housemates were planning the nominations but I was the only one who admitted my mistake. I think I deserved it because I was playing wrong.

I am proud of myself and everyone should feel the same about me because I was the only one who accepted my mistake. Vindoo Singh and Raju Srivastav [ Images ] were part of the backbiting but they were not guilty at all.

Rohit VermaBut the housemates felt that you were faking it after Bigg Boss unmasked you. You were trying to gain sympathy and save yourself from eviction.

If you had seen the lie detector test, you wouldn't have asked me this question. A lie detector test has shown that my emotions were true. For me, Bigg Boss 3 got over the night I saw the footage of us backbiting. I criticised myself. You need guts to do that. Everyone has come to win the prize money. Even a friend will backstab you because winning becomes so important.

You were discussing your financial difficulties on Bigg Boss. Is that one of the reasons why you took part in Bigg Boss?

Everyone goes through a credit crunch. The fashion industry has dipped because there were no international buyers in the fashion week this year. But that doesn't mean I don't have a bank balance. Yes, it's difficult to survive because of the kind of lifestyle we lead.

When you were inside the house, questions were raised whether you are a fashion designer or a choreographer.

I laugh at such statements. Many of them have come to my fashion shows! But I don't need to prove anything. If you google Rohit K Verma, you will know about New York fashion shows. You will see international models on my Facebook.

Taanaz Irani was upset with you after she was evicted.

I learnt about that after I came out of the house. If I were in her place, I would have reacted the same way too. Initially, Bhakhtyar, Taanaz, Shamita Shetty [ Images ], Aditi Govitrikar [ Images ] and I were best friends. We would gang up and make fun of others.
Then one of the housemates told me that Bhakhtyar and Tanaaz [ Images ] were bitching about me and planning my nomination. I was shocked. After that, I saw Tanaaz discussing my nomination in front of me in a coded manner. So I decided to nominate them. I wanted to send Tanaaz out. Poonamji (Dhillon) also told me that they had used me.

Who is the villain in the house?

Everybody knows that. It's Vindoo.

How did you take Kamaal Khan's re-entry into the house?

I don't want to talk about people who are not important in my life.

Why do you think Pravesh Rana did not gel with you?

Pravesh is a struggling model and he will go to any extent for work. He is the biggest manipulator in the house. He poisoned people's minds and tarnished my image.

What next?

I'm waiting for the wild card entry. I don't want to go back in tears but as a changed person.

Vinod Kambli:TRPs were the reason for my removal

There were speculations that Vinod Kambli was removed from Bigg Boss because of his non controversial nature and not audience votes. Even Vinod Kambli confirms it.

Why do you think you were evicted?

My wife was shocked because she didn't expect me to be out so soon. It's a game; anything can happen. I can't believe that I'm out of the house too!

The reason given was that I was non-controversial, and that was not enough for the TRPs. But that's the way I am. Two weeks were good enough for experience but I feel I should have given another chance. All the good contestants are getting evicted and the ones who are plotting against each other are still in there.

Why didn't you play games in the house?

They have duel personalities; I don't think they are like that in real life. Everyone was trying to play games. I cannot plot and backbite because it's not me. I was waiting for them to provoke me but that didn't happen because they were scared and careful when they spoke to me. They knew everything about me but they only asked me about my cricketing days.

Kamal Khan came in late. Had he been in the house before I got out, the scene would have been different (laughs).

Did you gel with everyone?

I gelled with almost everyone. I got along well with Vindoo even though he was the one plotting against us, which I learnt later.

I forgive them because it's just a game. Who am I to punish them? I know people are not like this in real life. What surprised me was that Aditi nominated me. That was backstabbing because I know her very well and she had been very nice to me. Only she nominated me.

Do you think you were at a disadvantage because you entered the house after a few weeks?

I knew it was a big challenge to enter after a few weeks, and I accepted it. I didn't fight with anyone but I was ready. If I had survived longer on the show, I would have definitely given everyone a piece of my mind. But if I was in their place, I would have reacted the same way.

What did you learn from the house?

I learnt to bitch (smiles).

Best moment in the house?

Bigg Boss sent a picture of Sachin Tendulkar and me when he completed 20 years in the game. The photograph was 15-16 years old and brought back the memories of my childhood. After coming out, I learnt that he had also completed 30,000 runs. I have retired from international cricket but I want say that I want to play one last time with Sachin. I want to play for the Indian Premier League , for any team, but I would prefer to play with Sachin. I am going to start practicing very soon.

How was your interaction with Amitabh Bachchan ?

He is my idol. Interacting with him was like talking to my father. I told him what I had been through in life. It was an emotional moment for me. When you talk to him, you tend to forget everything and start confessing.

Would you like to go back as a wild card entry?

Why not? The first entry was like a cricketer, the second will be like a politician.

Did you lose weight in the house?

Yes. I lost seven kilos because of my workouts and healthy food. My cake, eggs and kheer were stolen from the fridge the first week. On Vindoo's father -- Dara Singh's -- birthday, Bigg Boss sent a cake. I liked it so I kept it in the fridge. Nobody touched it (smiles).

What made you take up this show?

I have been on shows like Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena, Comedy Circus and Sach Ka Saamna only for experience. I wanted to see what it was like to be in the Bigg Boss house, cut off from the outside world. Now I am ready to take up another show if it excites me.

Mystery about KRK's Milk from Holland and Paris Water

In a rediff Chat, the biggest entertainer on television this year, Kamal Khan spoke or rather wrote his heart out and clarified a lot of things with his fans and foes. Here is a transcript:

Source: REDIFF.com

Fans, curious to know more about the goings on in the house, quizzed the star at length during the chat. For those who missed it, here's what transpired.

Kamal R Khan says, Hello everyone. How are you doing? This is KRK.

sujeet asked, hi kamal whts up hw is life after big boss evacuation

Kamal R Khan answers, It's really nice to be in my own world. It was really difficult to stay in Bigg Boss house, where I had to share my bathroom with seven people.

samrat asked, hi kamal....what is the audience that you are targeting after your rude behaviout during big boss(since you are very proud of it)

Kamal R Khan answers, I don't think I was more rude than other members of the house. They were saying many bad things about me, but I never said anything behind anyone's back.

Noname asked, How is your family reacting after this?

Kamal R Khan answers, They know very well what I was doing in Bigg Boss house. I was one of the characters of the show, so it was my duty to do something extraordinary, which made Bigg Boss interesting.

ifz asked, tell us about your next movie?? when can we expect it

Kamal R Khan answers, I'm going to start shooting for Desh Drohi 2, which is based on 26/11 incident in Mumbai. I hope to release it in April 2010.

abgyu asked, Kamal, I heared that u import water, milk, vegitables etc...from foriegn countries. Is that true?

Kamal R Khan answers, My dear, all those products, like Needo Milk (from Holland), Evian water (from France), Lipton Tea (from London), are available in each and every store in all the metro cities. So you don't need to go buy them from foreign countries.

zx asked, I dont think such nice and polite answers are from kamal. It must be someone else answering for him

Kamal R Khan answers, Be sure that KRK is online. I'm a businessman who is running almost 12 offices with around 10,000 employees.

swagat asked, hi kamal! was ur stint in BB a marketing gimic?

Kamal R Khan answers, All the people should understand that the Bigg Boss is not a saas-bahu serial. It is a show producers have spent around 100 crore of rupees on. So you should expect some different type of entertainment from the show. So please take it as entertainment only.

naaraaz asked, r u married?

Kamal R Khan answers, Of course not. I don't know how to impress a girl. So I don't think it's going to happen soon.

nishant asked, hi kamal....did you throw the bottle on rohit verma to show the world you are aggressive and to create a niche for you in the film industry....

Kamal R Khan answers, I believe that you should not harm anyone, but if somebody harms you, you should not accept that. So that was my reaction after his action only.

jatwani asked, Hi Kamaal. Who do you think will win Bigg Boss 3?

Kamal R Khan answers, Today it's difficult to predict because there are a few more strong candidates who will enter the house. So you should ask this question after four or five weeks.

kumud asked, did you really like claudia?

Kamal R Khan answers, Yes. She's really very beautiful and a gem of a person. Her nature is really an asset for her.

red asked, will u try setting again with claudia after big boss is over??

Kamal R Khan answers, No, no. That was a part of the game show. But in real life I would love to marry an Indian girl only.

idiot asked, kamal u were awesome and stood out seperate from others..wht u want to say about girls taking off raju's shorts

Kamal R Khan answers, I think it's really shameful. Raju has a daughter so he should feel ashamed about his act.

sam1985 asked, Kamal i respect u a lot , but i just wanted to ask u one question , why did u made a film with such a sensitive topic ? where u aware of problem Up and bihar migrants are gonna face because of you ?

Kamal R Khan answers, I think you have not watched the film. Desh Drohi was a political thriller, and not about North Indian or South Indian.

kabir asked, hello kamaal sir, u r not well in big boss it is ur habbit or scripts of this show

Kamal R Khan answers, My producers invested more than 100 crore rupees on the show, so it was my duty to make the show entertaining.

jkln asked, Kamal your stint in big boss portrayed you as a uncultured rude and mentally imbalanced person. Was this your deliberate effort or this is how you are?

Kamal R Khan answers, I'm a business man. So you can understand what my real behavior is like. But when we are part of the show, we have a role to play, and we have to do justice to that.

jatt asked, you were scared of Vindu, isn't it ? he's DARA SINGH's son... a strong Punjabi Puttar n he could have given you a sound bashing had you provoked him with ur stupid behaviour !

Kamal R Khan answers, If you are right and you are sincere, then you can't be scared of anyone. Vindu is a good person, in his heart, but he's a pahalwan. So he doesn't use his mind.

rp asked, marathi manoos won in mumbai wat u say now

Kamal R Khan answers, I am an Indian and I know only India. I don't recognise India by the language or by the state politics.

muskan asked, Hii Krk..Bigg boss was interesting only because of u... it is boring now...fingers crossed for your wild card entry

Kamal R Khan answers, Three weeks have gone with only ten left. So expect more surprises. At the end you will find the biggest surprise in Bigg Boss' history!

Deepak asked, Hi Kamal - you may get a wild card entry to this show again, who will be your first target ??

Kamal R Khan answers, After watching all twenty days of the show, I came to know that Rohit Varma was talking really, really bad things about me, even though I have not used bad words on any member of the house. So if I get to enter the house again, Rohit Varma will be my first target. He will regret bad mouthing me for the rest of his life.

kom asked, I love you....kamaall

Kamal R Khan answers, I love you too. Take care. Have a good day. KRK.

Nazia asked, what kind of girl r u looking for?

Kamal R Khan answers, The girl who loves me more than anything else in the world. Whether I should love her or not.

Kusum asked, Who you liked the most in big boss?

Kamal R Khan answers, I still think that Ismail and Bhaktiyar are good people.

delhigal asked, you were awesome on bigg boss. the show is nothing without you. you should have won it ! what are your future plans..

Kamal R Khan answers, I'm really sorry if I disappointed you. But I don't have time to stay in Bigg Boss house for 85 days, as I am running my business.

tapori asked, any plans for joining politics ?

Kamal R Khan answers, Not right now because I'm really busy with my business and films.

Kusum asked, Why Desh Drohi 2 and not work on some other film?

Kamal R Khan answers, I love India so much that I can't think of doing any other project before Desh Drohi 2, which will give a very good message for all the Indians on how they can avoid such type of incidents (26/11).

rahulprime asked, I like your attitude!

Kamal R Khan answers, Thank you so much.

raven asked, how do u like hyderabad there are a lot of muslim fans of yours here

Kamal R Khan answers, My regards to all of them. I've been there a few times, but now I don't have time to go there. Inshallah I will visit Hyderabad in 2010.

red asked, did u and women shared same bathroom and toilets?

Kamal R Khan answers, No.

ga asked, y ur so selfish abt ur wealth

Kamal R Khan answers, Of course not. Whatever you have seen in Bigg Boss is just 45 minutes of clipping taken from 24 hours worth of film. So please don't believe everything you see or hear.

shyamsunder asked, KRK u speak Marathi?

Kamal R Khan answers, I'm sorry, bro. I'm from Delhi, so I speak only Indian national language -- Hindi.

Vicky Singh asked, KRK what would you do if Tanaz had pulled ur pant down

Kamal R Khan answers, I don't think anyone has the courage to do that type of thing with me.

Chaman asked, Is big boss really real or is it scripted?

Kamal R Khan answers, It's not scripted. But when 13 people are in the house, they must recognise their role and they should try to entertain people in their capacity.

shaikh asked, big boss ka expriance kaisa laga KRK

Kamal R Khan answers, It is very difficult, because my lifestyle outside Bigg Boss house is completely different.

cdf asked, they portrayed you like a pshyco...u regret your participation or its fine?

Kamal R Khan answers, Bigg Boss is one of the most reputed reality in the world. My favourite Amitabh Bachchan is the host. So I'm proud to be a part of Bigg Boss.

sam1985 asked, KRK do u speak urdu ?

Kamal R Khan answers, In Delhi, almost all the people speak a mixture of Urdu, Hindi and English.

k asked, KRK ji, Will you call Mumbai as Bombay in your film deshdrohi 2 ? Your views ?

Kamal R Khan answers, Of course not. I will call it Mumbai, because I respect all the religions, all the languages and all the names.

Peeyush Malhotra asked, you said the right thing about Bhaktiyar and Claudia... tanaz aur bhaktiyar ka divorce hoga kaya .. your opinion

Kamal R Khan answers, What I came to know through Bigg Boss house experience is that both are not having very good relations. But still I don't think there will be divorce because of Claudia.

joshimanish832000 asked, hi kamal, do u think, the contestants can learn something from the show and apply it in the life?

Kamal R Khan answers, Please understand that the behaviour you see on Bigg Boss house has nothing to do with real life. So take it as a game show.

kmaal asked, raju srivastav is a better actor than you.. how do u feel?

Kamal R Khan answers, Raju is a comedian and KRK is a hero. Please try to understand the difference.

k2 asked, Hey Kamal ... how r u ??? how was your experience when you meet BIG B..?

Kamal R Khan answers, It was the first time in my life when I was nervous in front of anyone. I was speechless. And I was trying to control my emotions.

Kamal R Khan answers, Don't worry, dear. I am a man. I don't flirt with boys.

atif asked, krk dont you at all regret for your behaviour at Big Boss 3

Kamal R Khan answers, I don't regret my role that I played in any film or in any show. The producers paid us for that.

Seems like the suprise might be his re-entry into Big Boss.
