Singer, songwriter, producer and actor Milind Gaba, who was a contestant on Bigg Boss OTT speaks to mid-day.com about life after the show.

What have you been up to post Bigg Boss OTT?
For a creative person, a show like Bigg Boss can be creatively draining. So it's amazing to be back in the real world. In Bigg Boss, there wasn't much to do besides gossiping. I remember this one time I came up with a fantastic song idea and I wanted to keep it in mind. So I wrote it down using leftover tea and toothpicks, but Bigg Boss took it away. So doing nothing creative was my biggest challenge! When I returned to the real world, it felt like I'm stuck in time and the world has moved ahead, while I was locked in the house. I went there to see if I can survive without all the things I have in the real world and if people will give me the same love and support that I get outside. I got my answer to that and I'm happy and grateful.

Any contestants that you have been in touch with post the show?
I recently met Akshara Singh and introduced her to my family, she treated us to Delhi food. Zeeshan Khan is another person I like and I know Divya Agarwal from before, so we have been in touch.

Are you following Bigg Boss 15 and who are you rooting for?
Shamita Shetty is the first name that comes to my mind. She definitely has the potential to win. Pratik Sehajpal has gained a huge fan following and it's commendable. I feel Nishant Bhat was unique in OTT, but now (there are) many like him. He needs to stand out.

Where do we see you next?
I'm working on some Bollywood songs, collaborations and solo songs, these will be announced soon.
