We witness new twists and turns happening almost daily in Bigg Boss 13 house. Some of these twists get too much for the housemates to digest and more so, for their family members outside. Hence, we decided to speak to Mahira Sharma's mother Sania on her daughter’s changing equation with Paras Chhabra and Sidharth Shukla, the kitchen politics, Rashami Desai mocking her lips and Asim Riaz breaking her into tears by tearing the letter sent by her mother in the captaincy task.
Sania Sharma visited SpotboyE office for an exclusive chat and revealed a lot about Mahira which is not to been seen in the reality show. Read on:
Were you expecting Mahira to come this far in the game?
Not really. As initially I used to feel she will get scared in the house because there is so much happening inside. Also it is so difficult to do the tasks. But I am happy she has come till here and played all the tasks so sportingly.
In the Bigg Boss house, Mahira doesn't like people around in the kitchen when she is cooking. Is it the same in real life too?
Mahira has never cooked at home. Whatever she is cooking inside Bigg Boss house, she must have learnt by seeing me make it. I have never told her to go in the kitchen as I also never cooked at my dad's place. So I used to give her the same leverage. But I also agree that all girls should know how to cook and seeing her make breakfast and dinner for so many people, makes me feel proud. It's not easy to make 28-30 parathas at one go. I have never cooked for more than 3 people at a time. Forget about kitchen, usne kabhi washroom mein wiper nahi maara tha and I saw her cleaning the washroom for almost a month inside.
Mahira's term 'Massla' has become quite famous, does she utter the word habitually?
Mahira uses this word often but when cameras are capturing you toh zyada uthkar dikhta hai. Many people have asked me is Mahira a Muslim or a Hindu as she keeps using this word. And I had to clarify that she is very much a Hindu. But she believes in all religions. Like before going on the show, she visited Mahim Darga. She uses the term Massla as she likes this word and it sounds really cute from her mouth. Uske chakkar mein I also have started saying 'Ab iska kuch zyada massla nahi hogaya'.
Did you ever get this feeling that her journey on the show will come to a close?
You won't believe but initially when the housemates were targeting her, I used to feel that she will come out soon. I used to desperately wait for Weekend Ka Vaar shoot to happen on Friday considering if she comes out, I will know about it by the end of the day. But then, as weeks passed, I realised she is not coming out anytime soon. (ALSO READ:- STUNNER OR BUMMER: Kiara Advani, Kriti Sanon, Aalia F, Nushrat Bharucha Or Raveena Tandon?)
Who’s bond do you feel is the strongest with Mahira in the house?
I’m really liking her chemistry with Sidharth Shukla and the bond that they are sharing. Initially, they had a lot of arguments as they were supporting their respective teams. But now when they have got a chance to know each other, see how good they have turned out. Also, her friendship with Shehnaaz Gill is wonderful. And Paras Chhabra is someone who has always stood by her side since the beginning. He is genuinely a best friend to her.
Mahira often says that you have warned her to not form any love connections inside. Had you advised her on the same?
Not at all but she is a mature person and she knows that such relationships don't sustain for long. But yes, I definitely advised her to make a brother inside as I really loved to see the bonding between Dipika Kakar and Sreesanth in the last season. So I told her to make a similar bond just so that when’s she in trouble, there would be someone to take care of her. And during the first episode, when Salman Khan introduced Asim Riaz who’s from Jammu Kashmir, I got so happy and felt that pehle hi episode mein mujhe Mahira ka bhai mil gaya.

You think if Rashami Desai and Arhaan Khan get married in reality, their relationship will sustain?
What do I say? I really don't want to comment on this.
Paras Chhabra’s closeness with Mahira is often making headlines. Do you think they are in love?
It’s just friendship. It all started when he said ‘Main toh isko pyaar karta hoon when Vishal Aditya Singh and Asim Riaz were trying to make him realise that Sana loves him and he should also love her back. But, one should understand that love as a term is not just used when you are trying to have an affair with someone. We love our friends and family too. Plus, the way the channel shows the promo, I sometimes go sleepless and next day, that moment is not even part of the show. So I have stopped trusting promos.
Any particular promo that gave you sleepless nights?
When Asim Riaz tore her letter and she broke down into tears. I got so disturbed watching the promo that I myself started crying badly.
You think what Asim did with her was right?
Not at all! Mahira has been away from us since a long time. And like others, she too was expecting to read what I had written for her. Keeping captaincy aside, she handed over Asim's letter to him. But in return, he didn't give my letter to her. And the way she was crying, my heart stopped seeing it.
What had you written in the letter?
I wrote about her cats. She loves them the most. They recognise her voice whenever I am seeing the episode. Before going in, she had instructed me on to how to take care of them. So, I wanted to update that and then I had even thanked Sidharth Shukla for taking care of her. Plus, Shehnaaz for being by her side and also Paras for treating her well and being her support system.
Asim Riaz did apologise to her though...
Yes, I saw that and I am happy that he understood the pain and said sorry to her. Now I feel Asim may also come in their team soon.
Which team?
Sidharth, Shehnaaz, Paras and Mahira.
Sidharth, Shehnaaz, Paras and Mahira.
In one episode, Rashami Desai made a doll of Mahira and tried to mock her lips…
That was an extremely sad act from her end. During the time, she also told that gutter se uthaya hai, Mahi toh marr gayi. One should never say such things to anyone. But she said and it was really disturbing. Insaan ko samajhna chahiye ek baar muh se jo baat nikal gayi woh wapas nahi jaati. I used to feel so good when she used to pamper my daughter but then that understanding has disappeared between the two.
If you got a chance to go inside the Bigg Boss 13 house and show mirror to a housemate. Would you choose Rashami?
I must have shown mirror to everyone in the house not just her. But on a good note, because it's a game and things happen, it’s better that we should not carry any baggage and move on.
Finally, did Mahira do any research on how to play the game before marking an entry on the show?
No, she didn't but since she likes Gauahar Khan a lot, she had told me ‘I will play the game like her. Even if I don't win I want to come out as a strong person.’
