Last weekend, Chandrika Dixit aka the Vada Pav Girl Evicted from Bigg Boss OTT 3The entrepreneur-content creator was one of the most talked-about contestants before entering the show, but got lost in the noise once she went in. In an exclusive chat with IndiaToday.in, Chandrika spoke about her journey, why she couldn’t create the buzz she expected, and the noise about her finances.

Describing her journey as ‘lovely’, Chandrika said she did not enter the sport to win trophies but to have an enriching experience. “I think I have achieved my goal as I made some very lovely friends. I am already missing some of them. However, I am also very happy to be back with my family. It was emotional for me to meet my son again as he was really missing me,” she said.

Sharing that she never played games in the ‘group’, Chandrika said she always took a stand for what is right: “I have no regrets because I was real on the show. People always thought I could only fight, but through BB OTT, they have realised I have a soft side too. As far as less drama is concerned, I think it was because no one targeted me. I saw how the wildcard (Adnaan Sheikh) was trying to belittle me in my absence. Had I been there, I would have fought him. If someone is nice to me, why would I fight?”

Chandrika Dixit wants to take a short break, but revealed that she is excited to get back to her vada pav cart. Talking about her acting aspirations, the social media influencer revealed that she wants to move forward in life, but will only accept offers that are beneficial to her and her family.

She presented herself as a good wife and daughter-in-law on the show. She even said that her family is watching Bigg Boss and hence she does not want to cross her limits.

Chandrika said that she and her husband have the same faith and They show too much possessiveness towards each other. “I didn’t like the other person being too friendly with her, and so I knew my limits too. I spoke about it as a wife, I don’t know why it was twisted and made regressive. As far as my statement about my mother-in-law is concerned, honestly, that too is about my beliefs. I respect my culture. I know my limits, and I dress the way I dress in real life. I am not demeaning women who dress a certain way. For example, I can never be comfortable in a bikini shoot; I am not like that.”

Chandrika Dixit also spoke about her financial matters, former contestant Poulomi Das also accused her of tax evasion. She responded with this song’People will say something, it is people’s job to say (Log kuch bhi kahenge)’, and added, “People have been raising questions about my finances for a long time, and I am sure they will continue to do so. I am an honest citizen and I will continue to pursue my dreams. I will never let such noise affect my dreams. I am bigger than these claims. I have never supported corruption, and I will always stand up for what is right.”

In the end he said that this season, once again, has become more based on popularity than personality.

She said, “I deserved to be in the finale. I was eliminated because no one in the house nominated me. Isn’t that ironic? Right now, I feel Ranvir Shorey is playing an honest game, and I hope the audience continues to support people who are not just popular but genuine.”

Bigg Boss OTT 3, hosted by Anil Kapoor, streams on JioCinema.
