In a conversation with us, former Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant Akanksha Puri said, “I don’t know who to blame. There are a lot of people to be blamed for this. But I blame myself for being me, for being the real me and I think being real in a reality show doesn’t work. You have to go with a character ki ye mujhe start to end play karna hai aur maine start to end, jab tak main show mein thi, jaisi main hoon wahi play kiya.”

Highlighting how being herself put her at disadvantage, Akanksha Puri said that she continued to remain poised and maintained her dignity, kept her personality real and didn’t raise her voice during fights and this made people call her “fake”. The former Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant said, “Aise aise bohot tags mile hain mujhe ki ye kitni fake hai. How can someone talk in this tone even in a fight bol rahe hain aap ye kariye, ye mat kariye. Aise kaun fight karta hai, aap chillao aap galiyan do. Par waise main bahar bhi nahi karti. That’s not how I am as a person. Everyone is not the same. Agar aapki koi struggle story nahi rahi hai and I’ve been privileged since my childhood. I come from a strong family background vo bhi mere against gaya.”

Recalling when social media influencer Manisha Rani questioned how Akanksha Puri doesn’t have a struggle story, the actress said,”When Manisha told me aisa kaise hota hai sabko ek baar aise khane ka problem hua hai, log ek saath 10-10 log rahe hain, ye toh sabne hi struggle dekha hai but Maine nahi dekha hai. If I am privileged and my family has given me that privilege, it is something that I am thankful for. I love my parents for that. I can’t blame them ki aapne toh mujhe struggle hi nahi diya. Ab main toh weak ho gayi ki meri ek struggle story nahi hai ek reality show mein..”

Pointing out that she found the whole thing extremely stupid, the actress said, “Har kisi ki personality same nahi hoti and individuality alag hoti hai and that went against me. If I have poise, dignity and privilege toh then I’m not real, then I’m fake. So I didn’t understand that thing. You are not supposed to be real in a reality show or what is it? That’s why I was confused and that’s why I’m out.”
