Singer Mika Singh’s friend and winner of Swayamvar – Mika Di Vohti, Akanksha Puri has been making headlines ever since she entered Bigg Boss OTT 2 house. The actress landed in a soup after she kissed another contestant, Jad Hadid during a task on the reality show. Not only were the two trolled by internet users but host Salman Khan also slammed them during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode and soon after Akanksha Puri was evicted from the Bigg Boss house. And now, in an exclusive chat with Hauterrfly, the former Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant opened up about the kiss and how Jad Hadid reacted to it and called her a “bad kisser”.
Speaking to Hauterrfly, Akanksha Puri said that for her the kiss she shared with Jad Hadid was just a 30-second-long task and she did it for her team. The former Bigg Boss OTT contestant said that to her it didn’t matter who she was kissing and it wouldn’t have even if it was Cyrus Broacha, Avinash Sachdev or Abhishek Malhan. In fact, she said that she would’ve kissed Pooja Bhatt too if the task needed her to.

“Unke jagha koi bhi hota toh main karti and vo maine kiya and main jeeti. I did it for my team, vo Jad ho, Cyrus ho, Avinash ho, Abhishek ho, mujhe koi farak nahi padta. Even Pooja ma’am hoti main unhe bhi kiss kar deti. Mujhe koi farak nahi padta. Uske baad vo unke stupid assumptions hai ki ‘aapne ye nahi kiya’. Mujhe karna hi nahi tha isiliye maine nahi kiya. If that makes me look whatever, I don’t care. I won the task and that is what matters. And I won it for my team. Meri puri team uski wajha se jeeti and I’m happy I did that,” said the former Bigg Boss OTT contestant.

Discussing the kiss and Jad Hadid’s reaction, Akanksha Puri said, “When he (Jad Hadid) told me that you’re a bad kisser, I said ‘Excuse me, it was like a peck, a 30-second peck’. Kahan se vo uske itna emotionally, itna deep mein chale gaye ki he wanted to passionately kiss me, I didn’t want to do that. I just wanted to just win that task. It was just a lip-to-lip kiss that can happen in 30 seconds. For me, usmein main lips move karun, tongue move karun, vo itne details mein ja rahe the. Vo mujhe zaroorat nahi lagi. It’s not a passionate kiss jo mere director ne bola hai jo I have to perform with my co-actor. It was nothing like that. I just had to win the task.”
NGL but she does make a fair point!
