I was all heart, I would have been eliminated if I had played with my brains-Manveer Gurjar
7:55 AM
Neha Maheshwri (BOMBAY TIMES; January 31, 2017)
Manveer Gurjar proved the
power of the common man when he defeated celebrity contestants Bani
Judge and Lopamudra Raut to win Bigg Boss Season 10. Soon after lifting
the trophy, the 29-year-old from Noida (Uttar Pradesh), who won fans
over with his honesty and candour, chatted with BT about victory, his
overnight celebrity status and matters of the heart...
You have lost a lot of weight...
Weight lose kiya hai, daadhi bhi chaar-paanch kilo lose kee hai. I am going to eat less to maintain this body. I used to hate eating rice, but I have had so much of it inside the house, I think I can live on it now.
You are a star now. Has the reality sunk in yet?
Now that you guys are calling me that, I have started to feel like one. But at heart, I'm an India wala.
Your friend and fellow contestant Manu Punjabi claimed that he had sacrificed captaincy on several occasions to make you the house captain...
While Priyanka Jagga and Manu opened up very soon, I was a little subdued, which may have made people assume that I was arrogant and crude. It won't be right of me to point fingers at a friend. When it came to captaincy tasks, I never depended on anyone for winning. I don't want to say anything more.
Does it feel bad to know that he had said so?
There's no question of feeling bad or good. If he thinks he's helped me a lot, then that must be so and I thank him for it.
So, you are saying that he is responsible for your win?
He has definitely contributed to my journey in Bigg Boss. He's my brother. While I won individual tasks on my own, he definitely supported me during team tasks.
You said you didn't open up very soon. Was it a strategy to hold your cards close to the chest?
Firstly, the commoners were fighting among themselves and kept shifting loyalties. Hamari toh khud ki ladai khatam nahi ho rahi thi. They maintained a distance during the first week probably because of my looks. I got my act together only after Salman Khan pulled me up in the second week. Some inmates spoke ill about my community as well. But once I got the hang of it, I was on my own. I haven't supported anyone beyond a point, nor am I standing here because of anyone's support. I was my real self on the show. I was all heart, I would have been eliminated if I had played with my brains.
Did you fear Bani would win the show, given her fan following?
I think Bani was repetitive on the show, while I had something new to offer everyday and was more involved in the tasks. There were days when I hadn't even taken a bath. I would have voted for Bani if I were a viewer, but since I was inside the house, I wanted people to vote for me. We don't have many girls like Bani in India, who have abs and tattoos. She is an inspiration to many.
Fellow inmate Nitibha (Kaul) has said that there is a spark between the two of you and that you like her...
It's only friendship. She is scatter-brained. She would react to anything after two days. She wanted to be praised and I did so whenever it was needed. However, if she had wanted me to count her among the top 5, I wouldn't have been able to lie. So yes, beyond fondness and liking for her, I can't say if there's anything more.
So, you are not attracted to her?
How can I say that so soon? We haven't even met casually outside. Let us sit, eat and hang out. That house is such that if you are made to stay for long, a man can fall in love with another man. I hope she is different outside the house; I am just the same as I was inside it. I will pull her up if she does wrong and will appreciate when she is right.
Has your stay in the house taught you to control your temper?
I have mellowed down to a great extent, but I still get irritated at times. I was angry when they cut my hair for the finale episode. That's in my blood, I guess. But, yes, I have learnt how to control it; hit the gym, take a dip in the pool or do dishes.
Does that mean that you'll be spending more time in the kitchen at home, doing dishes?
Yes, I can do it, but why at home? Main kahiin aisi jagah jaunga jahaan bhandaara wagerah ho raha ho kyunki wahaan zyada (help) lagega.
What next?
I have not thought anything yet, I'm just fresh out of the show. I'll see if I get any offers. Work wise, I'm not too good with scripts. If anyone gives me a script, I'll fumble while reading it. So, fiction may be out of my league. But I am game for another reality show. But again, after this experience, where I lost so much weight, I don't know how another one will go. I'll only do stuff that is interesting. I won't run around for work.

Bigg Boss 10 press conference: Gaurav Chopra gets defensive, Bani J takes offence
3:41 PM
High voltage drama (what else?) ensued when hitlist grilled seven Bigg Boss 10 inmates
Letty Mariam Abraham (MID-DAY; December 9, 2016)
The makers of 'Bigg Boss 10' invited hitlist for a tete-a-tete with the seven nominated inmates yesterday, with captain Gaurav Chopra also in attendance. Pumped with ammunition, we got the green chit to grill the contestants on their actions and lack of it, albeit with a few restrictions — we weren't allowed to inform them about any occurrences outside the house, including the demonetization issue (although, they seemed to have a fair idea already).
Gaurav was questioned for not generating enough 'content' and being diplomatic. The actor said, "I am doing enough in the house, but since you get to see an edited version, may be you should ask the makers why more isn't being shown." The actor even retorted to claims that he has no identity without co-contestant Bani J, by stating that this was merely a perception.
Bani, who has been providing ample entertainment for the past 50 days in the house with her tears and screams, walked out during the press conference because Lopamudra Raut wouldn’t let her speak. The two have been at loggerheads for some time. It is believed that Lopamudra is the real reason for the conflict between Gaurav and Bani.
While no one accepted it, their demeanor spoke volumes about their dislike for each other. Lopa claims, “Bani doesn’t bother to talk or have a conversation. Yes I think she is a little insecure with me because I am strong. I wished her on her birthday and she didn’t even look at me or say thank you.”
Bani responds, “Lopa is like a child. She is immature person who lives in a bubble.” But even before Bani could complete, Lopa would interrupt and not let the VJ finish her statement. After a few repeated occurrences, Bani lost her cool, especially when she was interrupted while expressing her love for Gauahar Khan. Irate, Bani got up and strutted right out of the room. So much drama!
Priyanka Jagga, who seems to have lost her thunder after returning to the house, chuckled with joy each time a female contestant was put under the scanner. The only exception was Bani, whose opinions were constantly backed by Jagga.
Jagga kept harping on how Lopa is fake, made expression with every statement Rohan Mehra made and kept giggling every time Nitibha was grilled. Jagga claims, “This place cannot let you make relationships, here people can only play games.”
But her attitude towards Bani has definitely changed because she kept following Bani’s lead and supporting everything the celebrity said.
Nude British model Jason Shah to be a wild card entry on Bigg Boss 10?
8:07 AM
Natasha Coutinho (MUMBAI MIRROR; November 24, 2016)
Bigg Boss which is hosted by Salman Khan has received mixed feedback for throwing in a bunch of commoners along with celebrities inside the house for its 10th season and is now building up to wild card entries to shake things up. And Mirror has learnt that the first arrival is British-Indian Jason Shah who happens to be a nude model based in the UK.
A source reveals, “Jason currently lives in Mumbai and was last seen in Katrina Kaif and Aditya Roy Kapur-starrer Fitoor. He will enter the Bigg Boss house this week. The hunky model whose Instagram account is notably replete with pictures of his chiselled body in various states of undress will be joined by another wild card entry, actor Sahil Anand who is also a close friend of celebrity inmate Bani J, and commoner Priyanka Jagga who was eliminated in the first week.”
