Bigg Boss winner Gautam Gulati: Days were not easy
Diandra will just remain a good friend: Gautam Gulati
TV actor Gautam Gulati says he is thankful that the audience
supported him throughout and feels that his straightforward nature and clean
game led to his victory of 'Bigg Boss' season 8.
"My biggest achievement is that I stayed away from
politics. 'Bigg Boss' is a very nice show but certain people make it bad by
playing politics. But I felt it could be played in a clean way too. I decided
to play it from the heart and I think that's what viewers could see.
Gautam won Rs.50 lakhs and a car as the winning prize. The
'Diya Aur Baati Hum' actor said he had a very stressful journey but he is happy
that it paid off.
"Days were not easy. When people turned against me it
did get difficult. But I knew I had to take a stand for myself. I am glad I
stood firm. Puneet ji was my support in the house. We connected and I knew he
was a lovely man. Though sometimes he used bad words but he never meant bad. He
was straightforward like me. So, we bonded. He was always there with me,"
the actor said.
Gautam, who has reportedly been offered a lot of Bollywood
movies, said he will spend some time with his family and later gear up for a
career in films.
An overwhelmed Gautam was welcomed with open arms by his
friends and family members as host Farah handed him the Bigg Boss trophy along
with the prize money of Rs.50 lakh.
Gautam's foothold in the show was such that whether it was
his fellow contestants or the wildcard contestants -- none could weaken his
presence either in the Bigg Boss house or in the minds of viewers.
He pipped Karishma Tanna, who was the runner-up in the show,
followed by Pritam Singh as the second runner-up.
Be it his dance moves, his six-pack abs or his incredible
ability to annoy people with his antics -- Gautam showcased multiple nuances of
his personality over the four months of his stay in the show, which kept
viewers engaged and entertained consistently.
