Abu Malik has been eliminated from Bigg Boss 13 and now we bring you his FIRST EXCLUSIVE interview on SpotboyE.com. He not only talks about his journey inside the house, but also blasts our TV bahus Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Rashami Desai, Mahira Sharma, Arti Singh and news reader Shefali Bagga for making the game dirty. Below are excerpts from the interview:
How would you describe your stay inside the Bigg Boss 13 house?
How would you describe your stay inside the Bigg Boss 13 house?
I enjoyed a lot. It was well arranged. Obviously, you are part of a reality show so the pressure of winning was there, but it was a fun place.
Your journey was comparatively short though...
I wanted to reach till the first finale. But it didn't happen, so I’m feeling bad. But what can be done?
Will you go back to the show if they call you as a wild card?
I don't mind going back, but I’m sure they will not call me as a wild card.
Who according to you deserves to be in the game till the end?
It's very clear and you can see it on screen also that Sidharth Shukla, Paras Chhabra and Shehnaaz Gill are playing well. And, they will definitely go ahead in the game.
So, who are the least deserving contestants in the house?
TV actresses like Rashami Desai, Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Arti Singh, Mahira Sharma and also Shefali Bagga are playing point game. They are contributing nothing to the show and driving on their past popularities. They are busy scheming all the time as they can't offer any kind of entertainment except picking fights. Right now, they are just surviving in the game. But you never know, its Bigg Boss after all. Probably going ahead, they may also build rapport with the audience because they are quite well turned out on screen. But they are unable to depict an artistic quality on the show.
What do you have to say about Shehnaaz Gill?
Shehnaaz is doing very well. She is hitting the audience in the right way. Real quality comes out from this girl. Also, I like Asim Riaz. He is a very good person. Sidharth Shukla and Paras Chhabra are also good people. Though Paras is playing a game, but he is managing to make place in other people’s hearts.
We saw you breaking into tears in a recent episode after the girls tortured you in a task...
In that task, we had an opportunity to get out of the nominations. And at that time, I felt Asim is insecure as I didn't find myself insecure. Even if I would have stepped out, I wouldn’t be so upset. But he was quite tensed to be in the nominations. Hence, I decided to put all my energy in the task to support him and get him out of the nominations fear. All eyes in the house were on me to see if I let go off the task after getting tortured. And considering me being an easy target, they started putting a huge amount of powder on me. It increased to an extent that my breathing could have stopped. I was surprised that it was Devoleena and Shefali who were doing it. But then I realized, she (Devoleena) was the one who did similar things with Sidharth Shukla too. And I also realised that she loves the actual process of causing pain to a man.
Please carry on…
I know I embarrassed myself. My entire right hand is burnt with cuts because they scratched bleach into my skin. They were scratching our hands with bleach, red chilli powder and other things so that our hands would burn. By the time we could have realised what they had put on our hands, they started putting red chilli powder on our faces. It got too much and eventually Asim started screaming and removing his shirt as they applied it all over his back. And that was extremely painful yet she (Devoleena) didn't stop. I cleared my eyes and saw him screaming. I told him you stand up first and then start retaliating. Hit anybody who comes near you, don't hold back and just kick them out. He started hitting them left and right, but he couldn't see. Post that, it was declared that no more things can happen. So, Asim got a bit relaxed and started wiping his face. Now, Devoleena again returned with more chilli powder and rubbed it on his face. This was the final nail in the coffin, I lost my cool and got little abusive. I shouted ‘Don't come this side or I shall beat you up’. When I saw Asim screaming in pain, tears rolled down my eyes. I literally started crying. Please try to be human, is all I say. One has to understand that this is just a game and your life does not depend on it.
For how long did this torture continue?
We started at 4:30 pm and I think it ended at 12 in the night. By then, I kept on complaining to Asim that my hands are burning. But, I kept myself in control because if I had started screaming, shouting or yelling like them, it would have reached a different level altogether as my voice is very loud and the whole thing would have gone out of control. In fact, Sidhartha Dey had also burnt his neck.
Weren’t the doctors summoned on set?
Yes, the doctor was called on set and Bigg Boss called off the task. Ultimately, after all of this, the fellow who came out was Abu Malik.
Don’t you think your solo eviction was unfair as Salman Khan had announced double eliminations earlier?
The world is full of unfair people but that doesn't bother me. I expected to go till the first finale so it’s okay if I came out 6 days earlier. But I am happy that Asim is still in the game.
Do you think Asim will be able to survive in the house without your presence?
He will definitely survive for the simple reason that young girls like steadiness of a man who has got his own opinion. He is someone who doesn't take shit from anybody. If anybody tries to pull him down, he gives them back straight. He is a self-made man who is staying alone in Bombay and taking care of himself and making his career. He deserves to go a long way.
What was your family’s reaction post your eviction?
I knew that they would be horrified and take steps regarding this, but I also knew that it will be me who will go out the next day. So when I came out, they said ‘You fought very well. It's okay if you are evicted.’ They felt it was more of young people they wanted to focus and they had planned that out. They could have not fought the battle around me.
Had you ever imagined while signing Bigg Boss 13 that you would have to endure all of this?
I had never seen this show before and I had no clue that this is a place where you have to sing, dance, shout, argue, yell and crib. So I said to myself that okay I may have a good time with these people. I did what I felt. When people used to fight inside, I used to quietly listen and not intervene as I knew that probably this is something that the makers are looking for. But yes, when things used to get worse or I could sense that one may turn physical, I used to stop them.
