Earlier, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, who was a popular contestant on the show, had been evicted just a few days prior to the finale.
Speaking to Indian Express, she had said, "I have grown up as a person. I took up the show because I wanted the world to see me for who I am, and not just as the character. The good, bad and ugly, I wanted them to be able to know me as a human. Since I cannot be calculative at all, I did not unnecessarily attempt to be someone else and I am proud of myself,” she shared. About Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, who was said to be her rival, Nimrit said that it was the case of ‘two people not vibing together’. She shared that it was the ‘mandali’ that helped her enjoy her stint on the show.
