Do they feel the pressure to put up a happy image all the time? “When we were on Bigg Boss, we were fighting on camera, and we don’t shy from doing it even now. We have always believed in doing what came naturally to us. Yes now, we are more focused on each others’ growth. That’s what we want. In the show, we couldn’t do that. All I want to say is that we aced our journey on Bigg Boss, and will do so now as well,” he shared.
