From dreaming about Sidharth Shukla lifting the trophy to Asim Riaz blocking him; Paras Chhabra gets candid about his Bigg Boss 13 Journey

In a recent podcast, Paras Chhabra gets candid about his bond with Sidharth Shukla, his Bigg Boss 13 journey and more. The actor revealed how he bonded with Sidharth over spirituality. Paras also spoke about Asim Riaz blocking him, his fights in the house, he also predicted that Sidharth would win and more.

When it comes to Shukla, it gets difficult as I start seeing his face in front of me. He got the most fame, his growth happened rapidly and he garnered a lot of love. I lost a friend who was so close to me. We used to fight a lot in the beginning, but Bigg Boss never showed how we got connected. Our connection happened spiritually. We both used to speak a lot about Mahadev. We have a lot of common aspects, his mom, father's demise and our connection with spiritually. We genuinely bonded, and there was a lot of love.

Asim and I were fine, till we were in the show we had our fights but outside I didn't have any grudges against him. Though he has blocked me and may have something against me, I don't have any issues. I even met him when Sidharth passed away, he was fine. We spoke to each other, and after that, I don't know what happened that he blocked me. Even today his fans speak ill about me. Rest I don't know what happened. I only wish for him to do good.

Season 13 will always stay iconic but I don't know why all other contestants from different seasons after us have work and we all are still somewhere searching for good work. I just want all of them to have good work and get more and more famous. I am friends with everyone, whenever I meet them, I meet them with the same love. Hindustani Bhau is doing the best I feel from all of us, he keeps growing.

Shehnaaz Gill is also very good, she has a lot of fans who think I am talking bad about her. See I have spent 6 months with her, after Bigg Boss and a show that we did together. I have had the strongest connection with her. We both understand each other but then we couldn't be together. I did feel that kind of negativity towards her because of her fans.

For how people keep telling me that teko dekh ke Shukla ki yaad aa rahi hai and I feel emotional, how would Shehnaaz be doing when people tell her the same? Shehnaaz must be missing him with each passing day. I even came to know that he passed away in front of her. I cannot imagine the pain Shehnaaz must be going through.

Bigg Boss didn't show the spiritual side of me, I had spoken to all the contestants about it. Rashami used to ask me what to do astrologically. In Bigg Boss, I used to read kundli and not face reading. At first, I was confident that I would win but then slowly I realised that the show was going on a different track, so I chose to continue with the character and not turn out negative on the screen.

Mahira and I were together for quite some time, we were there in each other's good and bad times but we both realised that we were not meant to be together for the long run. Mahira and I mutually decided to part ways as both of us weren't happy with how the relationship was turning out. A good memory of her is when she took me to Shiv Khodi in Jammu. She is a Kashmiri Pandit so she took me there with the protection.

I knew what was happening and what would happen. I had reached the finale and the reason why I picked the back was that in the top 2, I wouldn't get prize money. It was a wise decision to take the money suitcase. I earned Rs 10 Lakhs. Additionally, I had even gotten another show so I knew I was going to earn ahead. One thing people would have noticed, was when I took the bag, I told everyone bye but I congratulated Shukla. I knew he was winning.

I used to have dreams in the Bigg Boss house. What used to come in my dream would happen the next day. I had dreamt that Shukla was winning and I saw who would be at the top and why it was important for me to take the money suitcase in the end. So I had already predicted Asim and Shukla would go till the end and Sidharth would win.

My mother later supported me. When she came inside the house, it was after three to three and a half months. At the same time, the one who claimed to be someone special (Akanksha Puri) filled her mind with negativity and anxiety. She caused anxiety to my mother by saying the wrong stuff. She was connected to my mother but used to make calls to Salman and say wrong things about me. She played very well and influenced my mother which made her say things that she said after entering the Bigg Boss 13 house.
