Shehzada Dhami Speaks Out After Bigg Boss Eviction: 'No Victim Card'

In this season of Bigg Boss 18, Shehzada Dhami was evicted during the Weekend Ka Vaar. After his eviction, he spoke openly about his experience inside the house, with the other contestants, and even shared his thoughts on Bigg Boss 18’s potential winner. He also talked about his chemistry with Naira and his relationship with Vivian Dsena.

“I Didn't Expect to Be Evicted This Soon, It Was a Disappointment”

It was a shock for me as well. I didn’t expect to be evicted so soon. It’s very disappointing, and it was completely unexpected for me. I was only there for four weeks, just a month. Many people in the house aren’t doing anything, yet I got evicted. After doing so much, this outcome feels disheartening.

The chemistry between you and Naira in the house was very cute, and many hashtags were used about your friendship. Will we see this friendship continue outside the house as well?

Naira and I share a great friendship, and there’s nothing beyond that between us. Relationships are important to me, and I will always keep this friendship intact. It took me time to develop a bond with Naira because I don’t rush into friendships. We share a strong bond, and that’s what matters to me.

When you entered the house, people were expecting a big revelation about Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai or something explosive from you, but nothing like that happened. What do you have to say about that now?

That phase of my life is long gone. I’m not the type of person to carry my past around like a burden. I won’t play the victim card—this is just not my style. I’m not afraid of anyone, nor am I weak. That was part of my past, and I’ve moved on from it. I want to go with the flow, and those who stay stuck in the past find their present slipping away. I’ve moved forward in life.

On Contestants Who Don't Contribute Much in the House

Several contestants have mentioned that there are people in the house who are doing nothing but still remain safe. Do you agree?

Bagga Ji is on rest mode in the house. Aly has been defending just one person and sticking to her group, though she has started talking to others now. However, I don’t think she has any significant role or issue in the house.

 Vivian has been called the favorite of Bigg Boss and Colors, with some also labeling him disrespectful. Do you agree with this?

I believe it’s all part of the game plan. The "favorite" tag is just a tactic. It’s Bigg Boss' strategy to say, “This is our favorite, now go win the show.” Some people are scared by this, but Vivian shouldn’t take it too seriously. In trying to become the “favorite,” he’s been saying things he shouldn’t. He needs to be more careful about his words and actions.

 

Many say you entered Bigg Boss to clear your image. Do you think you succeeded in doing so?

The reason I joined Bigg Boss was to work with Colors and big production houses like Viacom and Endemol Shine India. Their audience is huge, and I wanted to reach them. Even people who don’t watch anything else tend to watch Bigg Boss. I wanted to show them who I really am. I never had to "clear my image." My image was never negative. If people think I’ll get more work because of this, yes, I’d love to take on new projects.

Any Regrets After Your Eviction?

My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer. Things were just starting to heat up in the house. Fights usually begin in the first week, but those are trivial. The real battles start around the third week.

When you and Vivian had a fight, Rajat said to Vivian, “This is how Shehzada is.” Now that you’re out of the house, do you want to share your point of view?

Yes, I did tell Rajat at that moment, “Mind your own business, don’t interfere with mine.” As for Vivian, he was very nice initially. He was sharing food, talking to people about spirituality, and generally behaving well. But later, he changed. He became rude and lost his manners. That’s the real Vivian. When we meet someone, they’re usually nice at first, but over time, their true nature comes out.

If You Got a Wild Card Entry, Would You Change Anything?

If I got a wild card entry, I don’t think there’s anything I would want to change. But yes, I would be more mindful of my language. If I said something wrong, I would definitely correct it.

There’s been talk of a love angle between Chahat and Rajat. What’s your take on that?

I don’t think there’s anything between them. It’s all rumors and speculation. It’s not true, and it’s never going to happen.

Who Do You See in the Top 2?

Right now, I don’t see anyone in the house worthy of making it to the Top 2. Even Vivian, I don’t see him in the Top 2. However, if Rajat had stayed the way he was when he first entered—unfiltered and natural—I would have wanted him to be in the Top 2. But now, he has become calm and quiet after our fight.

New Entries: Kashish and Digvijay – Will They Change the Game?

It depends entirely on them. I don’t know them personally, but if they fight the way they did on stage, they might turn the tables in the house.

Upcoming Projects

I have some projects lined up, both from before and after I entered Bigg Boss. I’m excited to share more about them soon.
