'I was not a puppet in Bigg Boss'

'Kishwer and I are looking at a February wedding. It will be a family affair in a gurdwara.'

Bigg Boss' Suyyash Rai gets ready for the next chapter.

nora Fatehi wasn’t the only contestant to be evicted from Bigg Boss 9 this week. Suyyash Rai followed her, during a surprise double elimination.

The actor spent over 80 days on the show, and was better known as Kishwer Merchant’s ‘joru ka gulaam’!

He tells Rediff.com contributor Rajul Hegde about his stint on the show. 

Are you disappointed?

Yes. With three weeks remaining to the finals, getting evicted at this stage is disheartening. I wish I could have stayed inside longer, and celebrated my fifth anniversary with Kishwer on January 9.

I don’t know why I am out. According to the voting list that my sister has, Rishabh Sinha had received the lowest votes. I received the second highest votes after Mandana (Karimi).

I survived nine eliminations out of 12; maybe the makers felt I have nothing more to offer on the show.

You were called joru ka gulaam because you followed Kishwer in everything. 

My parents have a love marriage and they have been together for 35 years. My dad doesn’t say no to my mom, not because he is a joru ka gulaam but because he loves her. That is an example for me.

I was not a puppet. I know it’s shown that Kishwer is more dominating but that’s not true.

I was one of the few lucky ones to have my partner inside the house with me.

But neither Prince (Narula) nor I were overshadowed by Kishwer. In fact, I was the one who would tell her what is right and what is wrong. Even though she is older than me, never in our five years of courtship has she let me feel that I am younger to her or dominated over me.
