Anupamaa actor Muskan Bamne got evicted from Bigg Boss 18, on Friday, after receiving the maximum number of votes from the contestants. This week, three contestants received the ‘expiry soon’ tag, which put them in danger of elimination within 24 hours. After her eviction, Muskan exclusively spoke to SCREEN about her state of mind and how the contestants kept motivating her to perform better.

Talking about her journey on Bigg Boss 18, Muskan said, “I enjoyed this journey a lot. It was a new experience. Even though I am an introvert, I had a lot of fun.”

On the show, Muskan Bamne appeared quite disturbed. When asked about her state of mind, the actor said, “There was a point when I started to feel that there was no one I could openly speak to. People had their own groups; friendships were developing, so I felt they might not want to listen to me. I started to overthink, which left me overwhelmed.”

Muskan further shared how overthinking became a huge problem. “The show did not take a toll on me mentally. I just went a little overboard with the overthinking. The first week was difficult, but then I started to gel with everyone.”

During the interview, Muskan Bamne revealed her co-contestants kept motivating her to perform better. “Everyone kept motivating me a lot. They told me if I want to be on the show, I had to do something, even if it was a fight. But I couldn’t do it. I tried my best. But thinking about not contributing to the show much further pushed me into a shell,” Muskan said.

She also shared that the drama around food was not as the audience saw, as no contestant was kept hungry. “I don’t know if it was fair or unfair, but in the jail, Avinash had no other powers. He was using the powers like anybody else would have. He was giving basic ration to all. Food was cooked every day. Everyone had eaten. People had a problem with how he spoke and his comments,” Muskan explained.

On a parting note, Muskan spoke about the good friends she has made on Bigg Boss 18. “Vivian and Avinash made me their younger sister. Shehzada was also very respectful. I will miss Vivian the most,” she concluded.
