Last weekend, challenger Kashmera Shah was evicted from the show Bigg Boss 14 and she hasn’t taken her elimination lightly.
In a chat with The Indian Express, the actor opened about the housemates and how she was mistreated by co-contestants Rubina Dilaik and Jasmin Bhasin, who she now refers to as mean girls.
On being asked, what you have to say about your eviction? Kashmera Shah answered, “I am really disappointed. It seemed like premature ejaculation (laughs). I did not get any time, although I couldn’t have done anything more. I strategized, fought, cried, and participated in tasks. I cannot hit on men to be seen, that’s not in my DNA”.
When asked what led to her exit, Kashmera said, ” I have no idea, I did everything that a good player could do. I made the opposition team lose for me, something that never happens on Bigg Boss. I even outwitted Vikas Gupta, by planning behind the scene, and that’s what a real mastermind does. When they nominated me, I felt maybe they didn’t like the way I played the game. While the audience is a deciding factor, I can’t even blame them as they never got enough time to know me. However, when a Jaan Kumar Sanu can last for seven weeks, I wonder how I am out of the show so soon. It’s so unfair, as I played the hardest among everyone. Also, I am shocked that I was told I got fewer votes than Arshi Khan. All that she has been doing is abusing people, and playing cheap. I don’t think the audience would also like something like that”.
Talking about keeping the challengers together rather than bonding with the season’s contestants, Kashmera said that the contestants were not bonding with them. “Rubina Dilaik and Jasmin Bhasin were so high and mighty. They considered themselves from the convent and said we were from public school. That was so anti us. This is how they behaved with us, and whenever they spoke to us, it was rude and downright mean. I really felt bad. Also, they started treating everyone the same way. They would keep calling us “these girls”, which was really bad”, she added.
Asked about whether her opinions have changed about the housemates or it’s still the same when she entered the show with certain opinions about them.?
Kashmera answered, “whatever I thought about this season’s contestants was completely right. All that they do is eat apples and peel potatoes in the house. My opinions about them have not changed a bit. However, the only person who surprised me is Rakhi Sawant. Even though we did not have a happy past, she stood up for me during a fight. She also never spoke against me, behind my back, or without a cause. She is a changed person from season one, and I was very happy and impressed to see her this way”.
The actor was also asked, whether she did manage to bond with anyone, in her short stint? Kashmera replied, “I loved Eijaz Khan. He is the only real person in the house. I also liked being around Rahul Vaidya, as he came across as an honest person. Aly Goni was also fun. He did everything to protect Jasmin Bhasin, and I did share my issues with him. It was funny to see Rubina and Jasmin stick by Nikki Tamboli only because she has been in the show longer. It wasn’t the fight of right or wrong for them, rather about old and new. They treated us like these cousins who have come into the family to take all the property. They did not want any of us to do well”.
Although Kashmera found Arshi Khan inexplicably rude. According to her, Vikas Gupta will win the show.
