I have come out as a very strong and better person : Sonali Raut

Known for her frank behavior in the new season of a reality show Bigg Boss 8, contestant Sonali Raut who got evicted recently speaks about her journey, fellow contestants and much more...

Here is what Sonali has to say..

How was your journey in the house?

It was fabulous and a quite fun experience. I had many ups and downs but over all it was very entertaining.

So have you made any friends in the Bigg Boss house?

Yes there are two friends. Sushant Divgikar and Praneet Bhatt because I could share everything with them and was close to them during my BB journey. And except them I was very neutral with all as I used to gel up with everyone.

You have been given the title of 'Kantala Girl' what do you have to say about the same?

It was obvious that when you are staying in a house away from your family and without any luxuries and basic amenities with you like phone, laptop nothing you ought to get bored. There You completely have nothing to do except seeing the faces of the other contestant and indulging into fights. And yes by the end I was actually getting bored or I can say Mujhe Kantala Aane Laga.

How was your experience with the Dabangg star Salman Khan?

I met him when I was shooting for the film Expose then after 5-6 months I met him on Bigg Boss. He was always nice to me and I got a lot of support from him. I am glad to get a chance for such a close interaction with him. And for this I am very much thankful to Bigg Boss for giving me such a beautiful opportunity. 

What about your story with Gautam Gulati and Upen Patel?

My friendship was always good with both of them. I don't know why people in the house used to have a problem whenever I used to be with them. There was never any angle but I wonder Bigg Boss must have tried to make an angle.

You were nominated every week but still managed to survive for a longer time in the house, what do you have to say?

I was being myself. I think that was the only reason which connected with people and also I was safe because I was real.

According to you who has brighter chances to win the game?

I really think Gautam Gulati and Pritam Singh one of them will win as they are strong contenders and are very popular. Audiences are loving them and they are also playing good.

I have come out of the Bigg Boss house as a very strong and better person.

Are you following the extension of Bigg Boss i.e. the Halla Bol series?

I am keeping a track of the show by the way it is going. I am glad that I am not a part of it. And I think it was the right time for me to leave the show. There is lot of negativity, fights that are highlighted and aired now. I have seen Ajaz Khan and Ali Quli Mirza's fight and I think Bigg Boss should call Ajaz back in the house as there must be surely an extreme reason for him to get violent.

What are your future plans?

After my film Expose I directly entered Bigg Boss, so these two years of mine have been very busy. Now since I am out of the house I will look for more movies and continue my career in the same. And yes if any nice reality show comes my way then I would love to do it.

Any message for your fans?

Firstly I would wish Happy New Year to all. Keep spreading love and live king size. Just be yourself.
