Actress Yamini Malhotra got evicted from the Bigg Boss 18 house on Sunday, and post stepping out of the house, she made some strong statements on one of the most talked about contestant in the reality show, Shilpa Shirodkar. In an exclusive chat with the Free Press Journal, Yamini opened up on her journey inside the Bigg Boss 18 house, her dynamics and more.
Yamini, who entered the show as a wildcard contestant, stated that it was her biggest disadvantage. “I’ll never go anywhere as a wildcard contestant again. As soon as we entered the house, the ones who were already there subjected to such outsider treatment. They try to boycott you. When we entered, they only had one mission and that was to remove the wildcards. They all united against us, keeping aside their differences, and they did succeed,” she stated.
Fans felt that the actress seemed to be confused about her friendships and equation inside the house. Clarifying her stance, she shared, “I had a perceived notion when I entered the house, and thus, I tried to gel up with Vivian Dsena and Avinash Mishra. Avinash trusted me, but Vivian didn’t, and hence, I maintained my distance. Because of my friendship with Digvijay Rathee, I started sitting with Karan Veer Mehra’s group, but I realised they were just toxic and poisonous. So I left them too.”
“Rajat Dalal saw my loyalty and respected it. He even helped me during tasks, and thus, I ultimately ended up with him. Days before my eviction, Vivian had started warming up to me as well, but unfortunately, we couldn’t spend more time with each other,” she added.
Yamini also gave her two cents on the Karan-Shilpa-Vivian triangle that has been grabbing eyeballs since the first week of Bigg Boss 18. “If it wasn’t for the triangle, Shilpa would have been eliminated long ago. She is a very boring person,” she said.
Yamini accused Shilpa of instigating Edin Rose against her. “I regret not being friends with Edin. When we entered, Shilpa instigated us against each other, and we got trapped. We became enemies. Had that not been the case, the two of us would’ve been best friends and ruined the game of other contestants in the first 15 days itself!” she gushed.
“Also, I went in and trusted Shrutika. That was my biggest mistake. She betrayed me. If I go again, I will never trust Shrutika. In fact, I will expose her truth,” she added.
When asked whom does she see in the Top 2 of the show, Yamini replied within a beat, “Avinash and Karan.”
The Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mein actress said that Chahat Pandey should have been eliminated from Bigg Boss 18 instead of her. “She only has one strategy and that is to spot one person every week and mess with them with those same repetitive dialogues as if it’s some serial,” she concluded.
