From reacting to the womaniser tag to his mother's comment on wife Ankita Lokhande; Bigg Boss 17 contestant Vicky Jain answers some tough questions

Businessman Vicky Jain, who entered Bigg Boss 17 as Ankita Lokhande's husband, has managed to create his own identity. His mastermind moves, harmless planning and scheming for the game and happy-go-lucky nature was loved by the audience. Many felt that Vicky Jain deserved to be in the Top 5 of Bigg Boss 17 as he gave his best to the show and was active every single day during his journey. Recently, Vicky gave an interview on Jio App after getting eliminated from Bigg Boss 17 where he answered some fierce questions. From his fights with Ankita Lokhande, Mannara and Ankita's rivalry to his mother's comments for his wife, Vicky opened up about everything.

I always say that you can’t judge anyone’s emotion by just seeing a clip or just a 1 hour episode or even live is different from being inside the show. Wahan rehna and experiencing things are very different. Genuinely, nobody was expecting my elimination that day. So when my name got announced there was a mixed reaction. I had told Ankita a day prior after the roasting task that I don’t want to go crying if I get eliminated. We plan these things but when your name gets announced you do get emotional. So she was trying to control herself as I had told her. When the announcement happened I also had a constant smile on my face. Her emotion started from a smile, shock and then she couldn’t control herself and had a breakdown.

We all know how sensitive Ankita is and emotions hit her more than me. The emotion was real and came out naturally, she was not smiling because we both were shocked initially but we did not show it on our face. I was shocked because If I consider from the game point of view I felt I should have been there in the show Top 5.

After coming out of the show and towards the end of the show I understood about relationships that Ek dusre ko samjhane ke Bajai sometimes you have to understand each other. My outlook towards seeing things have changed, when I was inside the BB 17 house I did not realise that I was not using the right way to communicate things to my partner in my personal life. Now, I feel we could have sat down, discussed and sorted things out. When she felt that I shouldn’t have spoken to Mannara, I could have handled the situation a little patiently. Things got stretched a bit.

The moment I came out I started getting calls because none of them were expecting my eviction. Also, these people were there with me during the tough time in the Bigg Boss 17 house and once I was out they called and messaged and wanted to catch up. So we met.

I had discussed this thing with Ankita in fact at that moment itself. We often say things that we don’t mean in the fight but sometimes it becomes like a tag especially if it is coming from a partner. I told her the same thing that you are my wife and you have known me for a long time so when you mention all these things my actions can become questionable. I told her we should think before we speak. But again we have to understand that when we are angry, hurt and under the pressure, we end up saying these things. It is a show jahan ek ek word aap ka pakad liya jaata hai aur topic stretch kiya jaata hai.

I totally agree that there was a communication gap between our parents and us because we were on the show. So when things like Ankita throwing slippers at me happened it was in a fun way. Ankita and I do a lot of masti with each other. But I knew deep down that these things should not happen on national television and I tried to communicate with Ankita in my way of humour that there is life beyond this and be careful, iske baad ghar par bhi jaana hai...

After coming out, whatever communication was required I have already. I spoke to them and everything is fine with them.

I never made any effort to make people start thinking this (womaniser) about me and I won’t make extra effort to make people think otherwise. All I feel is I could have handled my personal life on the show more politely. Apart from this I don’t think I made any mistakes in the show. I’ve always been social. Our life has always been like this and we have been open about my social life on social media. It is just a point of view and I don’t think much about all these things. Dil mein kuch hai nahi… toh social media, audience connection, I don’t think much about these things. I like to stay away from all these things and it was a normal get together where we all met, had food and they left.

Whatever I’ve seen in the show and how my journey has been on the show, I don’t think Bigg Boss can be unfair to anyone. I go by logic and I feel it is a fair process of voting and everything is in the hands of the audience. So I think votes joh aarahe honge decision Uske basis par he hua hoga. I did not have fan following before going on the show and whatever I’ve done and achieved is on the show. I’m quite satisfied with my journey of making it to the top 6.

I totally agree that there was a communication gap between our parents and us because we were on the show. So when things like Ankita throwing slippers at me happened it was in a fun way. Ankita and I do a lot of masti with each other. But I knew deep down that these things should not happen on national television and I tried to communicate with Ankita in my way of humour that there is life beyond this and be careful, iske baad ghar par bhi jaana hai...

I knew we had to be careful about our conduct on the show as our parents might not understand it and a different kind of reaction would come from their side and we won’t be present there to justify or explain our side of story. There was no communication with the family and we could not explain to them and make them feel satisfied with any of our queries or questions. As there was unavailability from our side and lack of communication also, it is very natural for our parents to feel these emotions as there was a communication gap. There were a few things said which I don’t agree with but then it came from a mother who was emotionally affected and without much thinking she said those things.
