He said that Pavitra is busy while adding, “We don’t have like a joint family setup that is going to take care of all the nitty-gritty’s. We’ll have to take care of at least 100-200 people who will come from abroad and everything and that needs a lot of planning. It doesn’t happen within a week.”

How Eijaz Khan evolved as a partner

“I started seeing my mother in Pavitra in Big Boss. That’s probably the reason why I fell in love with her but you don’t see your mother all the time. You fall in love with the person. We underwent a huge challenge when we got out because we were stuck in a lockdown again. we negotiated that we lasted for so long but it took a toll on us. how we have negotiated till now is both of us have evolved in our own specific ways. I will not call them compromises or sacrifices I will call them growth. In simple terms, I stopped thinking like a boy I started thinking like a man.” Eijaz told us.

“What does that comprise of tough calls and tough choices? You can’t complain all the time you have to accept stoicism and you have to roll with the punches and move on. Because as I said, my value is earned, my respect has to be earned. It cannot be given to me because I am a man. I’m not complaining about this either it comes with its privileges, so no complaints. A lot of realisation a lot of self-introspection. Then realising oh my God there is so much more to be done, so much more work to be done, so much more self-healing to be done. Okay, this hasn’t been healed and I’m bleeding on my loved ones. Then life doesn’t give you the luxury of time because of what was happening. In simple terms, I grew up.“
