SpotboyE.com met Shefali Jariwala's husband, Parag Tyagi at his abode for an elaborate chat on how his wife's game is shaping up inside the house, Paras Chhabra's nasty comments on her and more.
Excerpts from the conversation:
How well Shefali is playing the game?
She is not playing the game but just trying to be herself in the house. She is a very emotional girl and you all must have seen the same during the show. Even when some contestant inside the house needs emotional support, she is the first one to offer that. Whether it's Himanshi, or Arti (when she got a panic attack), Shefali is very loyal. She takes care of friends and she is doing the same inside. She is not faking any emotion.
Recently Asim questioned her friendship when she tore Hindustani Bhau's letter?
I saw that too but what's also true is that the way she was crying I can tell you how much she must be regretting that action from within. In the last 10 years, I have never seen her cry and if she is breaking down on National television, I can actually understand how bad she must be feeling, though people thought that she was playing a sympathy card. And I am happy that Bhau forgave her. He is an awesome person with a golden heart.
He is out of the game now. Did you speak to him?
I did. In fact, to take his number I messaged him on his Instagram saying Bhau main chupdi ka husband(laughs). He called me then and he said I have told Chupdi that now when you have made me your brother, whenever I am in your vicinity and feel hungry will drop down to your place. He is a fun guy.
Shefali was bonding with Himanshi too but she is also out...
Yes, they were bonding really well. And I am in touch with her also. We keep talking on calls. And coincidentally, I and Himanshi share same brith date which is November 27. Himanshi and Bhau both told me that 'Shefali was missing you so much she made cake for you we all cut it and all the housemates were wishing her birthday aate jaate just to cheer her up.' But all that did not go on-air. So, I am happy that through them I got to know about all this.
We also saw you celebrating her birthday with Simbha..
I wanted to send a cake inside but that's not allowed as per the format. So, I celebrated with him for now. I just hope she wins and comes back so that we have not one but three reasons to celebrate- her win, her and my birthday.
Why do you think people are nominating her every week?
Obvious enough, because she is a strong competitor and people are feeling very insecure about that. So, there are people inside who are not mingling with her purposely so that they have a reason to vote her out.
Have you ever felt, while watching any episode, that Shefali should not have entered the house?
More than me my mother gets affected and calls me to discuss what all disturbed her. I remember one day she called me around 12:45 in the night, and started complaining that 'why are they making my daughter cry, please get her out, I don't want her to face all this.' And I had to calm her down and explained to her that Shefali is a strong person and she will handle it. I also get affected many a times and feel angry.
One incident which disturbed you quite a lot?
The moment Paras Chhabra got ugly and passed some nasty comments on my wife and Asim. I really felt angry that day but over the period, as I am watching the show, I take pity on him, his mother and most importantly on his girlfriend, Akanksha Puri. I am sure Akanksha ko bhi iski ye side nahi maloom hogi.
Paras keeps saying that you will feel bad seeing her close to Asim?
I know Paras as we were working in the same show. I may have met him 10 times personally but I am with Shefali for more than 10 years. So, my trust is on her and not him. I can only say Paras ko pehle apne rishtey sambhalne chahiye, main apne rishtey ko khud sambhal lunga. Shefali and my trust on each other is unshakable, which unfortunately this guy is not understanding.
He did comment on her age and called him buddhi...
For that I would say just one thing to him let's do a poll that who is the most beautiful, graceful and well-dressed girl in the house and he will have his answer. Iske case mein angoor khatte waali baat hogi, us jaise aadmi ko meri wife khada na rakhe.
He claims that his relationship with Akanksha is forced? Is it true?
Ever since he has entered the house, Akanksha is the one who is taking care of everything. Right from his house to his wardrobe, social media and forget about acknowledging that he is talking crap about her in the show. How bad she must be feeling? And I am hating him more because just not Shefali but he has gone on every girl's character, like Arti, Shehnaz and recently he spoke ugly about Mahira too, who is with him all the time. When he was in secret room with Sidharth and Vishal was hugging Mahira, he was seen telling Sidharth that she is enjoying all this pampering- main andar jaake iski bajata hoon.
Go on...
Har insaan ko chor mein chor nazar aata hai. I feel he hugs girls with a wrong intention and probably because of that he feels every guy hugs a girl with a wrong intention.
What do you want to say about Shefali and Asim's bonding?
I really like Asim as a person. He is extremely loyal, fearless and friendly. I have said these many times that the biggest loss of Sidharth is loosing Asim as a friend. Shefali treats him like a small kid which she keeps saying also. I don't know why do people even connect Asim and her in any other sense, when she was the one who was playing a cupid between Himanshi and him. So, even if sometime they argue, I like it because there is love in the fight as well.
Showing mirror to Shefali, Kamya Punjabi blamed her for breaking Sidharth and Asim's friendship, manipulating Rashami and Arhaan to leave the show. What you want to say on that?
I don't know which show has she seen before entering the house to show Shefali the mirror. Sidharth and Asim's friendship went kaput after Shehnaz made a comeback in their group and Asim was not liking it as she used to say 'loyalty is the most important element and we should not trust Asim.' Apple and orange pe jo unki ladai hui, vo to Shefali definitely nahi kara sakti thi. Then Kamya said, Shefali smartly told Rashami to do a case on Shehnaz when she hurt her. But that time, not Shefali but Bhau initiated the topic. About Shefali suggesting Rashami and Arhaan to leave the house, well, it was only because they were not comfortable sorting their matter inside at that point of time. And Shefali is someone who keeps relations and its sensitivity above the show. She had no bad intentions.
If you get a chance to go inside the house and show mirror. Who would that person be?
I would like to show the mirror to Paras and tell him that he better takes care of his own relations than mine. And then Sidharth Shukla- I will tell him Paras aapko khila raha hai aap Paras ko nahi. Also, I will add that I used to think that you are the Man of the house, even if you fight with girls at times but in secret room the way you were supporting Paras' comments on girls' character, just proves that you are not different. If I would have been inside the house, I would have made sure that no one even dared to comment on any girl's character.
What if they ask you to get in as a wild card?
I will definitely go just for my wife. And jo log apne aapko mard samjhte hain, unki galat faimi door karne.
