Puneet Vashisht who was eliminated last week from Bigg Boss 9 is taking panga with the host. In an interview after coming out of the reality show, he said, “Everything is finalised according to Salman. I am not saying the show is scripted but you really need to be in the good books of Salman to last on this show! Last year Gautam Gulati won the show because he is like a version of Salman. Toh socha hoga haan chalo yeh meri tarah hai and he won! This year I am so sure Salman is going to make Mandana Karimi win. I dunno why Salman doesn’t like me but it was evident! Maybe he couldn’t see my talent selling on the show. Why would Salman want to sell someone else’s talent on his show? Salman personally didn’t like me. Or maybe even the channel thought I am not being how they wanted me to be inside the house. They introduced me to create fights, controversies. But after a while, I was like why should I act so fake? I am not such a kind of person and can’t live in lies! So yeah, everything came against me but I am glad I am out. Realised a lot of things in that few days stay on Bigg Boss 9.” Over to Salman Khan.
