The tragic news of former Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds’ demise in a car accident shocked people around the world yesterday. He was 46. Not just the cricket fraternity and fans across the globe, many from showbiz, too, mourned the loss ofthe cricketer. He was a part of the fifth season of Bigg Boss and spent a few days inside the house.

Juhi Parmar, who had won that season, says, “It’s shocking. I have some fond memories with him from the Bigg Boss house. We had a lot of fun in the house and I was quite touched by his humility. I am really sad and want to offer my heartfelt condolences to his family.”

While he was in the Bigg Boss house in 2011 as a guest, Symonds participated in all the activities. Talking about one of the tasks they did together, Juhi shares, “There was a task where he had to sing Bollywood songs and also act like Bollywood heroes. Additionally, he had to woo all the girls with this. I remember the funny part when he had to woo me and he started singing a song which made no sense because he got all the lyrics wrong! The way he performed that was so hilarious that we all burst out laughing.”

Since he didn’t know Hindi, contestant Pooja Misrra would translate what he used to say.

Apart from Bigg Boss, Symonds was also a part of the Bollywood film Patiala House, which starred Akshay Kumar. In the film, he played himself.
