“If I Had Shed Tear Or Two…”: Isha Malviya Takes Dig At Mannara Chopra For Playing “Victim Card” For “Sympathy”
Bigg Boss 17: After being evicted, Isha Malviya has said that Mannara Chopra plays "victim card" for sympathy.
'Bigg Boss 17' is nearing its end, and the grand finale will be taking place on January 28. Just a week before the finale, Isha Malviya was evicted from the house. Ever since the Salman Khan-hosted show started airing, Isha Malviya has been a polarising figure, and some of her actions have been severely criticised on the show. After her elimination, Isha Malviya spoke about her equation with her ex Abhishek Kumar, and friction with Mannara Chopra.
“I don’t think I was wrong in the last week. It began with the torture task and we were called unethical there. I failed to understand what was wrong there. Any team that would have gone second would have hidden things. It has happened in previous seasons too. But maybe this time Bigg Boss had announced he would be biased so that’s what it was. I didn’t understand the eviction either," Isha Malviya told indianexpress.com.
"Also, my issues with Mannara were there. She has never hesitated to point fingers at any girl’s character. She started judging all the girls from the second week itself. She has said a lot of disgusting things and was never called out. But I was pulled up for one incident and in the coming week, I got evicted. I do not regret anything I said. It was a response to everything I was told. If anyone speaks to me like this in real life, I will speak like that," she added.
Before her eviction, Isha Malviya was involved in a lot of fights with Mannara Chopra, and she had also called the latter as "cheap" and "bar dancer".
Talking about Mannara, Isha said, "I said those things because they were started by Mannara. I never initiated any fights. Mannara has said things to every girl in that house. It is very disappointing to see Mannara play the victim card and get the audience’s sympathy. I think even if I should have sat and shed a tear or two, then I would have been in the top 5.”
“I was expecting to be in the finale, considering the journey I had. I took a strong stand whenever needed, so I was expecting to be in the top. I feel upset that Arun has made it to the finale. Everyone else is justified, but my input on the show compared to Arun bhai was much more. This is what I did not like,” she added.
Talking about the equation she shared with her ex Abhishek, Isha said, "I have moved on from Abhishek. There is no room left for anything. But yes, I do have a nature to let go of things and in that house, there is no escape. So you cannot avoid a person consciously. Even if I fought with Abhishek, the very next moment we were put together in a task. But if that came across as I have not moved on at all, that is not true."
"I don’t want a guy like Abhishek in my life ever. Yes, I told Abhishek that he was faking claustrophobia. I know Abhishek has an issue with going inside lifts or taking a flight. But whenever he does this, he is back to normal after 2 minutes. Even on Udaariyan, when there was a scene, he would just ask if the room would be closed and be okay with it. But on that nomination day the way he dragged things, I thought he overreacted. When Munawar told him that he might get evicted due to this, he became normal. If your body has gone out of control, but you become normal when Bigg Boss makes an announcement, I don’t understand that. To me, it looked very calculated," she added.
For the unversed, Isha's current boyfriend Samarth Jurel was also a part of 'Bigg Boss 17'. It needs to be seen who walks away with the trophy this season.
