Isha said, “If one goes to the bathroom without wearing their mic, it doesn’t matter because the roof of the bathroom has a small microphone. It is to capture the sound if you talk from inside the bathroom or talk while crying there.”

The Udaariyan actor also reacted to being trolled for vying for food after being scolded by Karan Johar, who hosted one of the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes. She said, “Daant padd gayi padd gayi, lekin khaana toh khaoge na (Even if you are scolded, you will eat food na). Also, the food boxes that came on Weekend ka Vaar episodes had chocolate pastries, how could I miss that?” However, the TV actor feels she could have been among the top five finalists of the show had she shed some tears on the show.

Bigg Boss 17 concluded on Sunday with the win of standup comedian, Munawar Faruqui. The seventeenth season of the TV reality show got a lot of attention, courtesy the controversies around the personal life of the contestants. Actor Abhishek Kumar was the first runner-up of the show.

Isha, however, was not on board with Munawar emerging as Bigg Boss 17 winner. “Mere upar bhi wahi bomb gire hain jo Munawar ke upar gire hain; ex present, whatever. Main at least Abhishek se alag hone ke baad Samarth ke paas gayi par Munawar ki jo cheezein aayi hain bahar… usne Ayesha ko stand-by pe rakha hai, fir koi aur bhi hai (I faced the same issues that Munawar faced. I was with Samarth after my separation from Abhishek. The things with Munawar were different. He had Ayesha on standby, and there’s someone else).”

She said Munawar’s win was thanks to his fans who didn’t pay attention to his relationship issues and voted for him. “Munawar bhai ne kuch bhi kiya, mujhe nahi pata. Lekin Munawar bhai achhe hain, humein pata hai… Kaash yaar mere bhi itne kattar fans hote jo meri galtiyon pe bhi parda daalne ke liye ready rehte (Munawar’s fans are not impacted by this. They believe that even if he had done something wrong, he is a good guy. I wish I had such steadfast fans).”
