Mumbai: The sexy Karishma Tanna, a strong competitor of Bigg Boss season 8, ended up as 1st runner up in the show and the actress admits she was in shock, having lost to Gautam Gulati. She says, “Yes I was in shock but I gathered myself quickly that atleast I tried to win. Even 1st runners up is a big thing and I’m happy I won.”
The actress who was known to get aggressive during tasks admits, “I learnt to be patient in the house and relax a bit. Also not to speak in a haste, as you regret it later but I am happy with how I conducted myself on the show. I spoke my heart out and stood up for what was wrong.”
Karishma admits that doing the show wasn’t an easy decision for her. “I took 3 years to agree to the show. I was afraid of people judging me and me judging other people but that’s what the show is about, so I decided to go ahead.”
Karishma’s relationship with Upen Patel was one of the most talked about things this season, this despite the actress saying she had a boyfriend outside (Rushabh Choksi) with whom she broke up later on national television. “It’s interesting that people have so much time to take interest in peoples personal lives. But the nickname fans have given Upen and me, (Upma) is cute. Upen is a genuine guy and I definitely wish to take the relationship ahead. Whatever you saw on TV, the smiles, the love was all true. Yes it was awkward when our kisses were aired but theres nothing personal on a reality show. As for Rushbah, I just said what was in my heart.”
Karishma is now awaiting her next release Tina Aur Lolo that also stars Sunny Leone. “I’m awaiting my next film release but I also plan to do more reality shows. Right now I’m just busy catching up with friends and family. I also plan to rest it out a bit, before getting back to work”
