In a recent interview, Santokh Singh Sukh, father of Shehnaz Gill’s brother Shehbaz Badesha, shared his views on Shahbaz’s game in Bigg Boss 19, his friendships, fan reactions, his bond with Amal Malik, the behavior of other housemates, the performance of contestants like Gaurav, and Shehnaz’s film. He also spoke about Shahbaz’s personality, the challenges he faces in the game, and why he deserves to be a winner. Here’s the full interview:
How is your relationship with Shehbaz?
I see Shehbaz not as a father, but as a friend. We even wear each other’s clothes because we are the same size. Our relationship is full of fun and jokes, and we are very close to each other.

What’s the truth about the ‘slap’ incident in the show
It was just a small gesture done in jest. There was no anger or real slap involved. Since we are friends, such playful gestures happen naturally in our relationship.
People say Shahbaz entertains but sometimes crosses limits. What’s your take?
The thing is, Shahbaz is genuinely a fun and outspoken person with his friends in real life too. Sometimes he forgets that he is in the Bigg Boss house with cameras all around, so things get misinterpreted. But after Salman sir’s advice, he has corrected himself significantly.

People say Shahbaz is in the show only because he is Shehnaz’s brother, while stronger players are outside. What do you say?
I completely disagree. Every contestant in Bigg Boss has come with their own identity and story. No one can stay just because of their family or relations. If Shahbaz performs well, he will stay; if not, he will go out like anyone else. I believe that in such shows, everyone proves themselves on their own merit.
People say Mridul, Baseer, Abhishek, and Zeeshan played better games than Shahbaz but were evicted. What do you say?

Yes, people say that, but it depends entirely on fan preferences and their own groups. Shahbaz’s fans willsee him positively, while other fans will support their favorite contestants. The truth is that every contestant has made mistakes at some point—no one is perfect, and that’s the beauty of reality shows, where everyone faces ups and downs.
How do you see Shahbaz’s friendship with Amal
I would say Shahbaz and Amal are a win-win deal for each other. Their friendship is genuine and strong. It will continue not just in the show but even outside. When they are together, their entertainment level doubles. Honestly, this duo adds a lot of fun to the show.

What’s your view on other housemates like Tania, Farhana, Malti, Ashnoor, and Gaurav
In my view, every contestant is playing their own unique game. Everyone has their own strategy and style, which makes them unique. As for Gaurav, I would say he plays smartly, and his acting experience clearly reflects in his gameplay. He isn’t just playing the game; he does it in an entertaining way.

How was your personal experience in the Bigg Boss house?
My experience in the Bigg Boss house was truly special. Initially, I was a little nervous, but gradually everyone made me feel welcomed. I even danced in the morning with Tania and Farhana, and it felt like I was really part of the house. Everyone treated me like a younger brother, which made my stay fun and comfortable.

Our thoughts on Shehnaz’s film success?
Honestly, just like a father feels proud of his child’s success, I feel the same pride. This film has changed people’s perspectives, and Shehnaz has truly shown how hardworking and talented she is.

Who do you see in the top 2, and who should win?
For me, all 9 contestants are winners, but I would like to see Shahbaz and Amal at the top. Gaurav is also a strong and intelligent player.
What are your expectations from Shahbaz after Bigg Boss?
Shahbaz’s life is now set. This show will open new paths for him.

Any message for the fans?
This time, think differently. People always say that entertainers never win. But history can be made if Shahbaz wins. I urge everyone to vote for Shahbaz.
