Pavitra Punia was considered to be one of the strongest contestants in Bigg Boss 14. However, in a shocking turn of events, she got eliminated mid-season. Though fierce, Pavitra is an emotional person and viewers saw various shades of her personality on BB 14. Recently, Pavitra Punia revealed how she was broken when her friends Aly Goni and Nikki Tamboli turned against her in the show.
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Pavirta opened up about being mentally disturbed after Aly Goni and Nikki Tamboli backstabbed her in the BB 14 house. She said that she was ‘disturbed’ during the last week of her stint as her friends who she knew before the show turned against her. Since she is a sensitive person, Aly Goni and Nikki Tamboli’s behaviour hit her hard.
She realised that for the game they turned against her and she still does not know the reason. “Nikki was seen with Kavita Kaushik, Aly was seen with Jasmin Bhasin. Also, the way Aly and Rahul Vaidya bonded in the house, it was nice. But looking at it I felt that- come on, we too (Aly and Pavitra) have been friends from even before the game show. Even if we were not BFFs, we definitely were good friends,” Pavitra expressed.
The actress said that just for a game, one can’t put the other down. They can’t make them feel low to a level that it becomes difficult for that person to lift up herself again. “I did try to understand, to gauge why this was happening, but the person action never understood how hard-hitting his actions were to me,” Pavitra shared.
But, she understands that it was a game and the content was the king. So, if someone does not deliver, he or she will not sustain in the show. Being fake or real is in the person’s hand. “What affected me the most was seeing my own friends ditch me. So I really became emotionally low and went into mental turmoil. I couldn’t even eat well at all during that time. But still, I did put in my best foot forward,” she added.

Ask her if she will try to mend things with Aly Goni that they have not gotten a chance to meet after the show. Pavitra said that things did not get spoilt from her end, so it does not make sense for her to try to bury the differences. But she wishes the best for Aly Goni always. She also said that if Aly comes to resolves things, she will do it, because she does not hold hard feelings for anyone.
“Everybody knows what had happened and from whose end things went for a toss amongst us. I do not like to bow down unnecessarily for anything or anybody. I will definitely respect my friend and want the best for him. But I will not take a step ahead first just to get the friendship back, she said.
While Pavitra Punia has not spoken to Aly Goni after BB 14, she has been in touch with Nikki Tamboli. “Yes, I do speak to Nikki at times and she did acknowledge that certain things shouldn’t have happened in the house amidst us but as a part of the game, they happened, Pavitra concluded.
