Kamaal Rashid Khan aka KRK

Are you happy or disappointed having been thrown out of the house?

I am very happy. Spending 10-15 days in that house is a lot.

How will you describe your experience inside the Bigg Boss house?

It was a great experience. I feel everyone should visit the Bigg Boss house at least once in his or her lifetime.

What was your idea behind joining Bigg Boss? What were you trying to achieve?

I wanted to check out what kind of atmosphere is there inside the Bigg Boss house and how many days I can survive in there. And I found out that staying there is thoda tough. Thoda nahin bahut zyada tough hai. To stay in a house like that for 25-30 days is a big thing. I am sure whoever will stay there for more than 80 days will have to go through a lot.

What are your real feelings for Claudia or were you putting up a show in there?

Claudia is a very nice girl. She is very sweet. Khoobsurat bhi hai… yeh zaahir si baat hai. We had a great rapport going. We were becoming friends. Then circumstances were such that things like hunger strike and all happened. The other housemates were giving her all the wrong ideas. They told her that if you say yes to KRK then it will get published in all the newspapers outside aur tum badnaam ho jaogi. She got very scared. Bechaari! Then I tried to explain things to her. I told her: “Main kabhi tumhara naam kharab nahin hone doonga!”

So what you are saying is that if the other people were not there in the house, Claudia would have reciprocated your feelings for her?

Hundred per cent. Hundred per cent. Everything got spoilt because of the others. She was a friend and she will stay a friend. But we couldn’t take the relationship forward. It had become 11 versus one in that house.

Why did you let that happen?

I didn’t do anything. From the moment we went into that house, the groups were formed. Initially nine people were on one side and the rest on the other. Of the four, it was only me who didn’t care whether I stayed inside the house or was asked to leave. The other three were terrified of being ousted. So what they did was, one by one they also joined that big group so that they weren’t nominated every week. Now, I couldn’t have possibly done something like that. And so it became 11 versus one.

Do you regret using such filthy language against Raju Shrivastava?

Of course not! Of course not! I had just told Raju that if two people are having a fight amongst themselves, why do you have to get involved in this. Aap kyun beech mein aa rahe ho? He reacted to that. Haala ki maine usko touch nahin kiya tha. Par usne mujhe touch kiya! Toh zaahir se baat hai ke jab usne mujhe touch kiya, toh maine react kiya. I had explained things to him in a very friendly manner.

What memories would you take back of Bigg Boss?

Bigg Boss for me has been about Mr Amitabh Bachchan. Interacting with him was like a dream. I even offered him a role in Deshdrohi 2. I hope he accepts it. It is a patriotic film set against the backdrop of the 26/11 terrorist act in Mumbai. I am playing the lead alongside Payal Rohatgi, Siddharth Koirala and Ashmit Patel.

And haven’t you made any friends inside the house?

Ismailbhai mere dost bane hai, Vindu se meri dosti hui hai, Sherlyn is also a friend. These are the three people who will stay my friends forever.
