Navin Prakash (from Bihar) is the third contestant of Bigg Boss Season 10 who got evicted last night from the reality show.
In an exclusive interview with India Today Online, Navin opened up on his journey in Bigg Boss Season 10; his fights with Lokesh Sharma and Bani Judge, and who he thinks will make it to the finale of the show.
Tell us something about your journey in the Bigg Boss house. How was it being locked up in a house with strangers for so many days?
It can get on your nerves. You are not in touch with what is happening outside, in the world. There are no newspapers or phones, and you just cannot do anything but try and forge a bond with other housemates.

Many people think that one of the reasons behind your eviction is the fact that you dislocated your shoulder while performing a task last week, is it true?
No. I did injure myself while performing the 'Push your limit' task, and ended up dislocating my shoulder, but that is not why I was evicted. I was eliminated from the show because I did not have enough votes.
Do you think the voters have taken the right decision by evicting you, and supporting Rahul Dev and Lokesh Sharma over you?
No, I do not think that the decision was fair, especially when you think about someone like Rahul Dev, who practically does nothing in the house, yet gets all the votes, thanks to his celebrity status. Whereas I had done everything in my capacity to entertain the viewers. But what can you do? These things are not in your hands.
You had kept a low profile in the first two weeks of the show, but things started to change in the third week, and you were seen raising your voice, and losing your temper, what was the reason behind the change?
When you are constantly being watched, and when you have to deal with difficult strangers, things get out of hand sometimes. You cannot be quiet and sweet all the time. It is not humanly possible. And I never did anything without a reason.
Bani had some issue with me because in the immunity task that she had performed with Lopamudra, I had declared Lopa as the winner. And I had taken that decision without any prejudice, but if she still wants to brood over it, she can. My decision was fair.
And as far as the fight with Lokesh is concerned, I have always considered Lokesh as a younger sister. Our bone of contention was the immunity task, in which I had resorted to unfair means to win the task, but I think everything is fair in a task unless and until you are specifically asked not to do a certain thing during a task. I don't think I did anything wrong.
Also, I am not the only one who resorted to a bit of cheating to win a task, Bani did the same during her immunity task with Lopamudra.
Who do you think will win the show, or at least make it to the finale?
Manu Punjabi, Manveer Gurjar, Gaurav Chopra, and Bani Judge are strong contestants. They have a good chance of making it to the finale of the show. Even Lopamudra Raut is a smart player.
How do you feel about Nitibha Kaul since she is the reason why you were nominated for eviction in the first place?
Yes, she just had to give up her make-up for some days, and she couldn't even do that so I was disappointed in her, to be honest. But what can one do? That was her decision; you cannot force someone to do something.
In fact, I will say one thing about Nitibha and Lokesh, both are obsessed with celebrities. They lose their sense of clarity when they are around celeb contestants. It happens with some people.

Now that Bigg Boss is over, what are your future plans?
I have a one year contract with Colors. But I cannot talk about it right now. Let us see, hopefully you will soon see me again on the small screen.
