One woman army is the phrase that perfectly describes the Iranian beauty Mandana Karimi. The lady, who has recently made her mark in Bollywood with her film Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3, won audiences’ heart in Bigg Boss 9 (Endemol & Colors).

The lady without making many friends or having a group to back her, survived in the reality series like a champ. But sadly the lady could not make it to the crown. When asked about her feelings, Mandana with a brave smile replied, “I am not disappointed. I believe that I am a new face for Indian audience, as my movie has just released. I can barely speak their language also. Despite all of these, they have showered so much love on me. And after receiving so much love and affection, I consider myself to be a winner”.

“Most of the contestants never accepted that I am strong enough to survive till the last. And whoever had that in their mind, was out of the game, even before my exit”, added Mandana.

So, how was the experience inside the house without having any friend? “I have been lonely inside the house, it was absolutely different. But the one voice that kept me going on inside the house was of Bigg Boss”.

We also quizzed her about Salman Khan and the pretty lady candidly quipped, “He has guided us like a father figure. Whenever we have done anything he was there to show us the right way”.

Before signing off clearing the air about her relationship status, Mandana stated, “I am in a relationship with Gaurav and definitely look forward to a better future with him. As long as marriage is concerned, I have not yet given much thought to it and such things can never be planned”.

We wish her all the luck.
