From wanting to exit the show to making it to the top 5 and finally winning 'Bigg Boss 16' how would you describe your journey?
I was a different person before entering the house. My homies and I would get into fights if anyone said something about us. However, now I have become very patient post the show. The journey was a rollercoaster ride with a lot of ups and downs.
What would be your reply to contestants who said you followed Sajid Khan and Shiv Thakare throughout the show?
I did not follow them but it's true that I used to be with them because we are friends. The others started calling us mandali but we are true friends. Both Sajid sir and Shiv are pure hearted people, they are crazy. Yes I will follow them but on Instagram (laughs.) Other than that I would keep whatever advice they gave me which I felt was important, in mind.

Most memorable moments from your journey?
Definitely the winning moment, I still remember my mom-dad, bother and friends faces when my name was announced. It was all so crazy.
Who do you plan to stay in touch with after the show?
Other than mandali I don't want to meet anyone. If we meet at parties I will exchange pleasantries. Mujhe gadhe ko baap bannana nahi aata. Even in the house if I didn't want to talk to someone I never faked it and would tell them on their faces.
What did you miss most about the house and your plans outside the house?
I will miss the fights and Bigg Boss's strong voice. I would feel very proud when contestants would speak in English only to be told to use Hindi. The show represents Hindi matrabhasha. Now that I'm out of the house I'm planning an India tour and will soon release new music, besides collaborating with big names. I feel like a celebrity now.
