MAIN TO CHALI: Bobby Darling

"The reverse voting is unfair," laments the actor. "All reality shows have the audience voting for the contestant they want to continue seeing on the show. That is the general perception of the viewers, so everyone voted for me. They thought that by doing so they would ensure that I remain in the show. On the contrary, it turned out to be a negative vote! I know people out there love me."

Bobby had prayed extremely hard to remain in Bigg Boss. "I have full faith in Vishnu and Mahalaxmi. I fast every Thursday. Anyway, that was God's will. Bigg Boss has slammed its door at me, but hopefully another one will open. If I had made it through this round, I would've survived for a month at least."

In her characteristic style, Bobby says, "As soon as I was told by Bigg Boss that I was the contestant to leave, main apni jawaani lapet ke bahar aa gayi."

Who did it?
The first thing that Bobby did on being out was to find out the names of the contestants who had voted for his exit. "Now I really know who is who."
Secondly, he caught up with this week's release, Apna Sapna Money Money. I have quite a substantial role in it. Like director Sangeeth Sivan's earlier film, Kya Kool Hai Hum, there's a lot for me to do. People won't see me in Bigg Boss, but they can now see me in the film now. This is what I meant, one door closing and another one opening."

Bobby also regrets being outgoing on the reality show. "That is me, but I should have been diplomatic like the rest of the people on the show. I wish I had realised this on day one and kept to myself. The co-contestants mistook my friendliness for being over-bearing. But I was only being nice to them; they misunderstood me."

Fav guy
Though she has lots to say about her female co-contestants who voted her out (see box), from among the male contestants she singles out Salil Ankola as her favourite. "I love Salil."

She also finds Rahul (Roy) "extremely cute" and Aryan (Vaid) very nice."
Bobby had hoped that this show would help garner the huge amount necessary for her sex change operation. "I really needed the money. I am disillusioned, but never mind, the opportunity will arise again."
