Kumkum Bhagya actress made lots of headlines and had even some eyebrows raised due to her stance in the Bigg Boss 14 house. And while she was a strong personality, towards the end of her journey in the house Pavitra’s spirits had simmered down. While many thought she had lost interest in the show, talking about the same the actress said in an interview to a leading newspaper, “I did not lose interest in the game but I was losing my health. I was not well. I was not as energetic as I was initially in the first 7 weeks. The 8th week was down for me as my health wasn't supporting me."
Here are some other excerpts from the interview…
Pavitra on housemates and Eijaz Khan
Well, Pavitra’s journey in the house has been full of ups and downs, with some beautiful moments and ugly fights, she sums up Bigg Boss 14 for her as a beautiful and disgusting experience. While she shared her bitter sweet memories, she even opened up about some housemates, calling Nikki Tamboli the fakest of the lot. Talking about her new found love on Bigg Boss 14, Eijaz Khan and his recent revelation of being molested at the age of 4, Pavitra commented in the newspaper interview, saying”I saw it and was shattered completely. I didn't expect this and while my brother was consoling me I told him that I hate him (Eijaz) because he didn't tell me. That hatred comes out when you genuinely feel for someone and think why didn't this person tell me about it. But I understand that he didn't say anything because he must have thought national television isn't the right place or time to say such things. I remember when we would fight he always told me don't touch me but I never understood it could be this. I would always tell him if you have issues then move away."
She also added, “He had told me that until and unless I trust someone completely I don't allow that person to touch me. Right now, I am feeling so blessed and so on-top-of-the-world that he had faith in me and surrendered himself to me, we shared so many cosy and lovey-dovey moments in the house where it was all about physical touches such as the hugs and cheek kisses, I am overwhelmed. Earlier, I thought he was doing it only for the show. But when saw it I was devastated."
When asked if she saw a future with Eijaz, a hopeful Pavitra said with some uncertainty that she is not too sure and is waiting for Eijaz to come out with the trophy. But she is confident that they will share a strong bond.
Pavitra on marriage reports and husband Sumit Maheshwari
Hotelier Sumit Maheshwari who claimed to be married to Pavitra Punia also went on to defame her saying how she has cheated on him with four men till now. He even said that the two are still married, and talking about these claims, Pavitra told the newspaper, “I will come up with an answer very soon. Honestly, it is not very important for me. All I can say is, it's good to ride on someone's limelight. For now, I have no comments on this topic but I will speak on it very soon. As of now, I am in the memories of Eijaz. I am just seeing the live and uncut videos and watching how much he is missing me. I am enjoying that part and I don't want to make my memory clumsy because of these stupid topics."
Pavitra on exes Paras Chabbra and Pratik Sahejpal
“When a person climbs up the ladder of fame, there is someone or the other after that person to pull him/her down. Even before I entered my own house (after the eviction), I was fully prepared about these two people (Paras Chhabra and Mahira Sharma). For Pratik, I won't say anything because he is a good person. For them, I always knew that when I enter the Bigg Boss 14 house, they will speak behind my back. For me, they don't even exist. I am out of the Bigg Boss house for some time now but I haven't spoken about them because I don't want to waste my time and energy on people like them. I think that's how they run their kitchen by saying filth about people and I don't care about it. Let them say what they want to say as if I care!"
