Lady of the Bigg house

Model-turned-actress Gauhar Khan was euphoric after being declared the winner of 'Bigg Boss 7'.

The contest was a closely fought one. In fact, Gauhar thought Tanisha had won the final round. “At the finale, when I saw Tanisha’s mother (Tanuja) I thought she had won the show. So it was a real shock when Salman called out my name!” Gauhar said.

While she was awarded a trophy and Rs 50 lakh in cash, Gauhar took back something more precious from the show. “In every season of Bigg Boss, there has been some chemistry between the contestants… This season, I fell in love,” she admitted. “Kushal (Tandon) and I understand each other. He was my confidante in the house. (After this) when we’re together, we need to think about the future.”

Gauhar also talked about the other controversial pair in the house this season — Tanisha Mukherjee and Armaan Kohli. “Armaan and Tanisha are not talking much about themselves right now, but I’ve stayed with them, so I can say that they love each other. I wish them all the best for their future and hope they’ll always support each other,” she said.

While she may talk magnanimously about Tanisha, the fact remains that back in the BB house, the two women were never close, or even cordial. “I don’t know what problems Tanisha had with me,” said Gauhar. “But I think she’s a very nice girl. She has a strong personality. Maybe now that we’re out of the house we’ll have a chance to meet.”
