Bigg Boss 14: Eijaz Khan OPENS up on his relationship with Pavitra Punia; says, 'Friends had warned me, don't be dumb and fall in love' [Exclusive] | Bollywood Life

Bigg Boss 14’s Lone Warrior Eijaz Khan is out of the house to work on the schedule of a web show. He confesses that he is having severe withdrawal symptoms. He told BollywoodLife, “I am missing the mike. I am so overwhelmed and had a tough time to process everything right from the car rides to meeting people when I was outside. I miss the routine and simplicity of life in the Bigg Boss house. In the morning, I asked why there was no music, and insisted on making the tea myself.” He says he has been watching short videos sent by fans, and they have left him thrilled.

The actor who has worked in the TV industry for close to two decades says Bigg Boss is a great social experiment. “See, even if you have spent your whole life with your family, it is impossible that you have lived more than 100 days with them 24×7. Bigg Boss simplifies your life. I makes you realise what your priorities should be. I always said I was not cut out for this show. But today I would suggest everyone to be in Bigg Boss once. You will know what you’re made of.” Also Read – Bigg Boss 14: Fans call Abhinav Shukla a ‘hypocrite’ for questioning Rubina Dilaik’s friendliness with Aly Goni – view tweets

Many fans of the actor are worried about how his game will roll out if he makes it to the top five. Taking in recent calculations, he might enter in the finale week or just before that. “It is ok. I have faith in myself. I have faith in my fans. When I go in, I will be all gun blazing. I want my fans to have the faith in me,” he says. Eijaz Khan has a very clear stance on Devoleena Bhattacharjee’s role as his proxy. “It will take her a couple of weeks to understand the strategy of everyone. I do not expect miracles. The advantages that she has in that she has seen the show all through. She is also a seasoned player. I feel her knowledge will balance out her lack of experience. I just want my own people to make sure that she does not get eliminated. I will raise the mantle as I get it,” he reasserts.

One of the charges on Eijaz Khan has been that he is playing the victim card on the show. “Unfortunately, people are scared to admit the inherent faults they have in themselves. If anyone feels that I am playing the sympathy or victim card, please do not vote for me. When I revealed my deepest darkest secrets, I did not do it for sympathy. It was for every child who lived through something of that kind. People deserve understanding and compassion. Sympathy has never helped anyone,” he says.

Eijaz Khan describes his funda as, “Be simple, be real and be air.” Of course, the thing people are talking about is the love story of Pavitra Punia and Eijaz Khan. It was one of the pleasant surprises of the season. He tells us, “I never thought this would happen. My friends told me, Eijaz you are dumb, do not fall in love inside the house. My life never works as per plans. She is an amazing person. Pavitra has a beautiful soul. She is so caring. Pavitra is my Annapurna. When she keeps my head on her lap, she feels at home. When she touches me I feel calm.”

He says their chemistry even surprised him in the initial stages. They were even slammed for creating fake content to go ahead on the show. “She was fighting with me outside, and then she cooked with an equal amount of passion. She kept on telling me to focus on the game. I was not sure if she was also feeling the same way as me. We had a conversation in the red zone. We discussed some things, and some were left unsaid. We have discussed them now with honesty and respect. I am enjoying every moment,” he says.

Pavitra Punia has been subjected to a lot of trolling as well. ‘I do not want opinions on my personal life. I do not want judgement. I am not coming in your personal space. My fans who love me respect her. If there is a need, I will put people in their place. I would request people to let beautiful things be beautiful. I just want to love this feeling,” he says.

Pavitra Punia’s former boyfriend Paras Chhabra said that Eijaz Khan should stay away from her for his own happiness. “I am still processing a lot of things. I do not feel the need to react to such statements. I have not read or heard about it. If there is something important, maybe Pavitra or I will react. I want to assure people, I am sensible and I want to be happy. Let me be happy in my space,” he said.

We asked him about his co-contestants but he refrained from talking a lot. Eijaz Khan says he does not wish to skirt the topic. “In a couple of interviews I did speak about a few people. “I have realised that I feel bad when I speak about them when they are not here to defend themselves. I spoke in two interviews but it left a bad taste in my mouth,” he said.

One of the most discussed topics is the alleged superiority complex of Rubina Dilaik. “We know everyone in and out, right from their toilet habits to how they inhale and exhale. You guys only watch it for an hour and a half. We know how real and fake people are. I stand by whatever I have said about anybody in the house. What I have said is with full integrity. Now, I do not wish to comment about people when they are not present to defend themselves,” he concludes before heading for the shoot.
