As an audience, we sometimes wonder and feel that If I would be the contestant, I wouldn't react in a particular manner but when you are inside the house and experience things, in reality, it is completely different.

He further said, "No, I haven't done any preparations because when you prepare yourself you tend to be more predictable and I don't want to be one of them. I want to be who I am and just want to be myself rather than being pretentious."
