#BiggBoss16! Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia: It’s disappointing that contestants like Shalin Bhanot and Archana Gautam are still in the house while I have been evicted

From being announced the first captain of Bigg Boss 16 soon after she entered the house, going through a rough patch emotionally, befriending Shiv Thakare and mandali, to being the last captain of the house, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia has had quite an eventful journey on Bigg Boss 16. She is the latest to be evicted from the reality show. A section of the audience was invited inside the house that voted for their favourite contestants. Nimrit was eliminated after she bagged the least number of votes. The actress is indeed in shock, as she didn’t see it coming.
She shares, “It was out of the blue. Nobody was expecting it. It was a jittery space to be in, especially to know of the mid-week elimination just seven days before the finale, because we struggled so hard and gave our best shot for so many weeks. Honestly, I would have been disappointed if I was eliminated because of pan-India voting. But in the current scenario, I don’t have much to say. We had three rounds with a set of a live audience selected on the OTT app and they voted for their favourites. The first round was about sharing our journey and why we should be in the finals, the second one was talking about the opponents and the third round was to entertain the crowd, following which the audience had to cast their votes.”

She feels that the outcome would have been different if the voting came in from across the country. She adds, “If I had to speak of whether I deserved to be there, I know I did. There are people like Shalin and Archana who are still inside the house. It is a reality show, and we must emphasise real people. So, yes, it was a little disappointing, but I guess that’s the nature of the show. So, it’s fine.”

The Choti Sarrdaarni actress enjoyed every bit of her journey on the reality show. She shares, “It is nothing less than a dream run and absolutely beautiful. When you are inside for so long surrounded by people with varied mindsets, you are constantly under the pressure of being watched through the minutest of details. I feel very happy that at no point did I lose out on who I am as a person or ended up doing something that would not do justice to my principles. So, I feel very proud of myself and my journey. This is the honest and vulnerable most I could have been in front of the entire nation without thinking about how people will perceive me. I don’t feel I was image conscious at any given point because this is who I am. So, take it or leave it!”
