Bigg Boss 15’s Pratik Sehajpal who recently became the 2nd runner-up of the show might have been defeated by the Tejasswo Prakash but he has indeed managed to win a lot of hearts. Pratik has earned a massive fan following and the response he is getting after coming out of the Bigg Boss house is proof of that.
In a recent interview with India Forums, Pratik talked about the experience and shared why he broke down in tears on the finale episode. He said, “I always say that I don’t challenge God, he does what he does for good, I did want the trophy but when I hugged the trophy, I felt like it was mine. The love I have received from everyone means a lot to me. I was upset and maybe I am still upset, but the love I am receiving is helping me overcome it. I haven’t seen so much love in my life and this is the first time that people are supporting me so much. I believed in it, I strongly wanted this and it has happened.
He added, “I feel blessed and for my family, everyone has accepted me as the winner. I have always thought that the journey I have had inside, the growth that there has been, I will not be able to see it, but my sister and everyone else has seen my growth every second and it is so special. I haven’t seen those trends, sometimes I feel like it is a dream, a dream that has come true.”
Talking about the trio PraNiSha Pratik shared, “I had a bond with Nishant from OTT and we knew we would stand by each other and we did, but with Shamita, the ending days lead to a very strong bond with her and I really love her and I did not expect that to build up. She is an amazing woman and she has supported me a lot and we were so close that if one had tears, the other had tears too, and that is the kind of love we had for each other and it is not as easy to happen.”
When asked about his take on Tejasswi’s winning the Bigg Boss 15 trophy, Pratik shared, “Her mom-dad must have also prayed for her, she also had people praying for her, and I think she deserved to win and hence she did win, she received love and so did I, and I don’t think there has been any ‘kami’ in all that I have received. I am nothing without ‘Pratik Fam’.”
When asked about Umar being evicted from the show but Karan in spite of physically slamming him reaching finale, Pratk replied, “Honestly, I did not appeal either of the time, and what happened, I did not expect it to happen. Salman bhai gave Karan a warning and Umar also got a warning, but I think it still happened. He did a great job, he earned his identity on the show. When he left, I was like ‘what is this’. I felt that one conquers such a long journey and one mistake leads to this. I am sure he would’ve been in the top 3 if he was still there.”
Talking about the new, controlled Pratik we all see in this season, he shared, “Salman is my ideal and he is my role model, and I want to be like him. And when I saw that my ideal is not liking something about me, and when he said something right, I thought I should do something about it and he feels proud of me, and he told me about it next week. I felt really good about the fact that I could change my image in his mind and I appreciate it.”
The interview couldn’t have concluded without mentioning Akasa. So here it is, “We are very good friends, and we are just good friends, and she is an amazing girl. If she was in the house, she would’ve done well, she has a lot of potential. She is a strong, highly opinionated girl, and I wish the best for her, she is a great girl, and we are going to be great friends”, he said.
Here’s wishing Pratik all the very best for his future endeavors.
