Kanchi Singh went on social media to give a shout-out on
Twitter to her friend Hina Khan, this morning. We spoke to Kanchi, few hours
later.
Excerpts from the conversation that followed:
There's so much chatter about Hina Khan on social
media.
I know, and why? Why are people targeting her, and that
too so much? It is so easy to sit in judgment and so difficult to be in
that house.
If Hina even cries inside the house, people make fun of
her. But baba, she is only venting her emotions. In fact, this all so much
proves that she is a real person. I think people are imagining her as
Akshara of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. For Pete's sake, HIna is not Akshara in real life. Hina's
detractors should be put inside Bigg Boss house and then asked if Hina was
indeed wrong.
How do you know that it's difficult to be in Bigg Boss
house? You haven't been inside ever...
But hasn't Rohan Mehra (Kanchi is in a steady
relationship with Rohan, who participated in Season 10) gone inside? He is
very close to me and I know how difficult it was for him to come out of
it.
Add this to Hiten Tejwani, whom I met in an Apple Store
after he was evicted. He said: Kanchi, don't even ask how tough it
is to be locked inside the Bigg Boss house?
Let's take it point-wise?
Sure.
One, Hina said that the South filmmakers need bulging
heroines- and I think it all began from there...
Yeah, you are right, it all began from there.
And, Hina was wrong in saying that South filmmakers need bulging heroines,
particularly the way she said it.
But kaun doodh ka dhula ha andar? Toh har contestant galti karega, aur kar raha
hai. Didn't Shilpa Shinde say that Marathi actors are very egoistic, but was
she castigated for that? No, na? Then why HIna only, and as I said, woh bhi
itna sara? I am not saying that Hina was right and Shilpa was wrong. Both were
wrong, but all I am saying is that why weigh them in different scales?
Karan Patel lambasted Hina...
I don't know Karan, but whatever he said was not in good
taste.
You mean he should not have said such things about a
girl?
Why only girl? He should not have said such things, even
for a boy. Karan should mind his language. I would never speak like that in my
life. It is not necessary for him to like Hina--- but he should choose his
words before opening his mouth. Kisike pichvade mein dum hai kya? Didn't he say
that? Is that the way anybody should talk?
You said you don't know Karan, but you must have met him
in parties etc?
No, never.
Two, its' being felt that Hina considers herself as
classy and others as massy. So basically, she looks down upon people...
Why people are saying such things is beyond my
comprehension. Hina has said 'Mujhe uski ya iski level pe nahin girna hai' but
aren't such things sad in day-to-day life, so often? I don't think any other
season of Bigg Boss till date has witnessed so many things being said inside.
Are you saying that this season has been the dirtiest?
Not dirty, it has been the most difficult one.
Three, Hina made some disparaging remarks against Arshi
Khan about her clothes, etc...
Have you heard what all Arshi said? If someone says such
things about me, would i keep quiet? No, I wouldn't. I think Hina tried her
best to keep her cool, but after a point... (trails off).
Four, her admittance to having a relationship with Rocky Jaiswal is to garner
more eyeballs and remain in the news...
Arre, yeh kya baat hui? Then, you should also go and
catch Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. who never admitted for 4 years that they
were in love and spoke about it only when they parted ways.
Even my relationship with Rohan became public when Rohan
was inside Bigg Boss house. God, this show judges people so much! Don't be
surprised if after this interview, you and I are also judged!
Hina Khan And Rocky Jaiswal
Five, Hina called Shilpa as 'heartless'.
What's wrong in that? It's not a disqualification to be
practical in life. Besides, Shilpa is another strong and real person inside
(pauses). She has played the game independently and she is cute.
Six, Hina declared that she would win Bigg Boss 11...
God, that's only her self-confidence. Why are Hina's
virtues not being seen? She has not abused even once inside the Bigg Boss
house, she has not spoken ill about her colleagues' families. And while Bigg
Boss has been criticising her color, weight and few other things- she has stood
tall and fought.Let me give you one concrete example of Hina's realness....
Hina Khan And Rohan Dadlani
Yes?
Hina hasn't liked Akash Dadlani from Day 1--- but she has been
very clear about that. When they started talking recently, did she even once
say that 'he is my friend and I love him'? She has only been plain cordial to
him, since then.
Parting shot?
Hina is like my elder sister and I respect her
immensely. If not Hina, Shilpa should win Bigg Boss 11. That's that!
