Juhi Parmar: I have some fond memories of Andrew Symonds from the Bigg Boss house

The world woke up to the tragic news of former Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds’ demise in a car accident. He was 46. Not just the cricket fraternity and fans across the globe, many from showbiz too are mourning the loss of the cricketer. He was a part of the Bigg Boss Season 5 and spent a few days inside the house.

We reached out to actress Juhi Parmar, who had won that season and she said that she is still processing the fact that he is no more. “It's shocking. I have some fond memories of him from the Bigg Boss house. We had a lot of fun in the house and I was quite touched by his humility. I am really sad and want to offer my heartfelt condolences to his family,” she says.

While he was in the Bigg Boss house in 2011 as a guest, Symonds participated in all the activities. Talking about one of the tasks they did together, Juhi shares, “There was a task where he had to sing

songs and also act like Bollywood heroes. Additionally, he had to woo all the girls with this. I remember the funny part when he had to woo me and he started singing a song which made no sense because he got all the lyrics wrong! The way he performed that was so hilarious that we all burst out laughing.”

Since he didn't know Hindi, contestant Pooja Misrra would translate what he used to say. Apart from Bigg Boss, Symonds was also a part of the Bollywood film Patiala House, which starred Akshay Kumar. In this film, he played himself.
