What do you have to say about Sumbul's new show?

Like I said, Sumbul had got a lot of offers and we were discussing which offer to take. Sumbul then liked the script of this show "Kavya" and she told me it's a different story and she wants to do it. The promo got a positive feedback and hence, we thought it was the right decision.

For the first time in Bigg Boss, a wild card entry has won. What do you have to say about it?

There is no doubt that Elvish has created history as no wild card has won the show. So, in the upcoming season of Bigg Boss every wild card entry will be happy and would have the hope to win the show.

What are your thoughts about Abhishel Malhan?

Abhishek and Manisha were deserving and also Elvish and everyone was very close in winning and for me all three are the winners of the show.
