Bigg Boss Kannada 8: Geetha Bharathi Bhat about her journey inside the glasshouse

Actress Geetha Bharathi Bhat is the latest contestant to get evicted from the Bigg Boss house. Although the actress's journey is short-lived, she did face a lot of ups and downs during her 22 days stay inside the Bigg Boss house. In an exclusive chat with ETimes TV, Geetha opened up about her emotional journey inside the Bigg Boss house, the tasks, her rapport with the housemates, and much more

​Geetha's view on her eviction

"Bigg Boss was a beautiful experience. Although I never expected that I would get evicted this early, I am happy with my stay inside the house. I feel I had to stay there a little longer. Twenty-two days is too short I feel. But at the end of the day, it's a game. you have to accept everything here."

3/10

​Feeling nostalgic after eviction

"I miss my routine inside the Bigg Boss house. The wake-up song, the tasks, building rapport with new people, everything about Bigg Boss is an all-new world. I started enjoying the little joy in my life. Sitting and enjoying watching the sun or the moon, we had a beautiful tree in the Bigg Boss house, watching the flowers bloom there, all these are the little happiness I have learned to enjoy.

​Reacts on being called 'fake' by inmates

"I was just being myself in the reality show. No matter how much I was accused to be fake, I would still choose to be myself. This is how I am in real life too. I am proud of it and have no regrets at all. Considering the journey of my life so far, Bigg Boss journey has a special place in my heart."

5/10

​Interest in the reality show

I was always keen on taking up Bigg Boss. I did have an opportunity to be a part of the show the previous year too. But this time, I was hell-bent on taking it up. The experience you get here in this show can be never be perceived anywhere else. It is a lifetime experience.

6/10

​Geetha at her competitive best

"Ups and downs are a part of everyone's life. Be it inside Bigg Boss house or otherwise, its pretty common. Although I was at my competitive best, I feel the housemates had already assumed that I was a little weak. As I said, I was just being myself throughout the journey. This is how I am. I do care a lot for others. I am happy with it."

7/10

​Not a weak contestant!

I have given my best during all the tasks I have participated in so far. Even there, I have proved myself to be a strong contender, Despite that, when I was portrayed as being week by my inmates, I did not feel bad. In fact, I took it on a positive note and continued to be my best.

8/10

​Insights regarding the 'Lockdown' task

"Ah! the virus task. (she pauses) I would say, the situation demanded all of us to get physical while performing the task. Everyone attacked each other physically. So, I don't think that blaming an individual is the right thing to do. There was a point in the task when everyone actually fell on me. All of us were equally hurt during the task. But I feel that we could have performed a little better in the 'Lockdown' task."

9/10

​Inside stories

"There were a lot of misunderstandings due to the Lockdown task. The entire Bigg Boss house was divided into two groups. But. What was amazing is when we all sorted out the difference between us. Everything started falling in place and became one 'happy family' again."

10/10

​What next?

"Right now, I am evicted in a short term. I can sit and crib about my short journey. But it's of no use. This is of course a new beginning. I am in talks for two movies. I want to concentrate more on my interest in music as well. So, this is it for now. Apart from this, I want to concentrate on my health."
