Bigg Boss 17: Soniya Bansal Calls Mannara Chopra 'Fake', Says 'She Is An Over-Actor' | Exclusive

Soniya Bansal became the first contestant to walk out of Bigg Boss 17. The show’s host Salman Khan announced her eviction on Saturday, October 28. After leaving the controversial show, Soniya spoke to News18 Showsha exclusively and told us that she wasn’t expecting her elimination. “It was a wonderful journey. I did not expect it. I was playing very well. I had just started to play,” she told us.

However, Soniya also clarified that she is not disheartened with her eviction from Bigg Boss 17. “I really wanted to play well,” she added. Soniya further mentioned that if not for her, either Sana Raees Khan or Aunny Arya aka Tahelka should have been ousted from Bigg Boss’s house.

Sharing her views about her co-contestants, Soniya mentioned that even though she spent merely two weeks in the Bigg Boss house, she finds Mannara Chopra ‘fake’. “Mannara is fake. Rest all are presenting their own personalities. They are not overdoing things. They are who they are in real life as well but she (Mannara) is an over-actor,” Soniya said.

The actress further talked about Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain and answered if their arguments in Salman Khan’s show are merely for the cameras. Soniya disagreed and argued that the couple kept fighting because Vicky did not give a lot of time to his wife. “They are not doing this for cameras. Vicky does not give time to Ankita and therefore they keep fighting,” she expressed.

Soniya also talked about Abhishek Kumar’s aggressive behaviour in the Bigg Boss house. She argued that he behaves in such ways because Isha Malviya keeps him confused about their relationship status. “Isha does not clear Abhishek about their status and that’s why he acts like this,” Soniya concluded.

With Soniya’s eviction, contestants who are left inside Bigg Boss 17 house are Ankita Lokhande, Vicky Jain, Neil Bhatt, Aishwarya Sharma, Mannara Chopra, Munawar Faruqui, Arun Mashettey, Sana Raees Khan, Navid Sole, Khanzaadi, Anurag Dobhal, Jigna Vora, Sunny Arya, Rinku Dhawan, Abhishek Kumar and Isha Malviya. Samarth Jurel and Manasvi Mamgai have also entered the show as wild card contestants.
