'KKK was easier than Bigg Boss.'

I had hydrophobia too, and I still have it because I can't swim. But the fear has reduced.

How competitive are you?

My strength or competitiveness is only until my mind allows me to be.

If I know I will get hurt or two days later, I will not do it.

I would not do anything that would harm my body.

Which contestant surprised you the most?

Divyanka Tripathi has an image of an adorable bahu on television, but the way she performed her stunts was fantastic.

I think Vishal Singh did the stunts best.

It was a kind of a reunion with your Bigg Boss housemates Nikki Tamboli and Abhinav Shukla even though you didn't get along well with the

latter.

I bonded with everyone in KKK.

We used to eat together, do stunts together, go on the bus together and come back tired.

We would sing and dance on the bus.

The nature of KKK is that we do not blame anyone. You have to do your best; there was no bad blood between us, unlike Bigg Boss.

This show is about supporting each other.

Abhinav and I have laughed and shared jokes. I am glad that we progressed from zero to a decent friendship.

The equation with Nikki has also changed for the better. She couldn't do a few stunts well because of the state of mind she was in (after her brother succumbed to COVID-19).

We supported each other during the show.

Which reality show was more challenging?

Both are extreme -- one is about mental strength and the other is about physical strength.

But I would rather go for physical strength because the mental can really get to you.

I would say KKK was easier than Bigg Boss.

Did you explore Cape Town, where KKK was shot?

No, we were kept in a bubble due to the pandemic. South Africa remains one of my favourite destinations to travel to in the future.

How was Rohit Shetty as a host?

He is a mentor and guide.

There is a point where you feel it's all over and you are going to die. Then, comes Rohit Shetty's voice! He is a ray of hope.

He is the sweetest host and I had a great time and have a lot of respect for him.

What's next?

I want to concentrate on my music which has been taking a backseat because of back-to-back reality shows.

I have three songs in the pipeline which I need to record.
