'Luck favoured the others again this time' - Sameer Soni

How was the second innings in Bigg Boss House?
The second innings also went good, but pretty much the same manner and ended disappointingly. The only difference was that, last time I was not happy with the decision of Bigg Boss, but this time it was the decision of the people.
 
Have you seen any difference in the behavior of the inmates after your reentry?
I know there are no personal differences at all in the house and as a person the inmates like me. But in a show it lessens the chances of winning if a contender returns. So in that way they must have felt, oh my God he is back again (laughs). But then, they might be relieved that they are not eliminated.  

How do you feel being eliminated just before the grand finale?
It is really disappointing and I am heartbroken and it seemed like I needed a shoulder to cry on (laughs). I wanted to be there till the end.

Are you shocked being eliminated before Dolly Bindra?
No, not at all because I have been nominated the maximum number of times and I am used to it. But all the time I have somehow escaped being eliminated but now the luck favored her. 

Who do you think has the greatest prospects of winning the show?
Anyone who gets the highest number of votes has it. Actually everybody has the chance of winning because there are people who like all members of the house. Dolly Bindra is very popular for her foul remarks and at times I get tired of it. The channel TRPs shot up with her entry and that's why she was brought back. Khali is popular among the children and  is a great entertainer. Ashmit is popular among girls and Shweta is also a great contender for them.

Do you think that Shweta Tiwari has the chance to win the show?
On a personal note I would like Shweta to win the show because she was there from the beginning and she is a good friend of mine.

Shweta was really upset when you got eliminated. What would you like you tell her?
Hang in there and win the show and share the winning prize with me (laughs).

Who do you think has the least chances of winning the show?
I cannot predict even that because all are in a game show which is  very unpredictable. But I feel that Dolly had got time to prepare herself for the show because she got in several days after the show began, during which she saw the people in the house and knew the proceedings in the house. Even after her exit she got time to revamp herself to make the reentry.

As a human being, how would you like to rate the people in the house?
I wouldn't want to rate anybody because people inside the house are really good when they come to their normal life. Inside the house you are under constant surveillance and pressure which make you do stuffs which you would not do in real. Bigg Boss is the mother of all reality shows and each day you are put into more challenging situations that test you in a more crucial way. So rating them is something which is not fair on my part. I am extremely happy with myself that I have been consistent from day one till the end, wherein I had a choice to do what I think was right, and do what will take me ahead in the show. And I chose to do what I felt was right, but then I realized it will not take you ahead for a long time (laughs).

How has been the response from the people?
I am getting a startling response from the people who are demanding to get me back again in the show, which I know the channel has no intention of doing and neither do I (laughs). I am really happy with the response I got from people and I like the fact that people love me and would have been more happy if I had got the 1 crore (laughs). 

What are your plans now that you are eliminated?
I have not planned anything as of now. I would love to host a reality show because I cannot sing and dance nor can I eat snakes and stuffs (laughs). So the options that lie in front of me are limited. But definitely I would like to come on TV again.

Now that you are eliminated, will you be back for the Grand Finale?
Nothing has been confirmed as of now, but I would love to be back for the Finale.
