Manisha Rani says she ‘never crossed boundaries with anyone’ on Bigg Boss OTT 2: ‘The flirting was all for fun, I know my limits’

And for people targeting her character online, Manisha had a hilarious response. She said, “Tu kare toh ras leela, main karu toh character dheela,” she laughed. The actor added that if someone was to really do something wrong, they wouldn’t announce it. “I was always vocal that I would flirt or tease them in a healthy way. Also, I am someone who cracks jokes with everyone around them, that’s who I am. I don’t think my character can be defined by these incidents as my intention was always to make people laugh.”

Talking about her journey, the second runner-up said that it still feels like a dream to have been on Bigg Boss. Expressing her joy she added, “I have made my hometown proud. It’s a historical thing for Munger and its people that a girl has reached so far. It’s not common for people from small towns to come this far. I hope to be an inspiration for many others. I am sure when I go back, I would be welcomed like a star.”

While Abhishek Malhan and Jiya Shankar‘s bond was loved by many, his friendship with Manisha also found many admirers. As fans shipped ‘Abhisha’ to be together, Manisha shared that they were best friends and had a platonic bond. “Firstly, he is so tall, how would he even romance me (laughs)? But we really had a pure bond and our friendship was more special than a love story.”

She also addressed Salman Khan’s anger towards her which was seen as quite harsh. “Yes, he would get very angry sometimes. Salman sir is my first crush, so I would get hurt by his words and actually sulk over it. However, I realised that he was trying to motivate me because I had the potential to do better. So I will take it as a positive approach,” she said,

On a final note, Manisha spoke about standing up against Pooja Bhat. She said that even if it was Alia Bhatt, she would never support the wrong side. “I know she has a lot more experience than me and I did get to learn a lot from her. However, that doesn’t make her right all the time. Whenever I felt she was wrong, like during the casting task where she put me as a villain, I voiced my thoughts. I know for sure that audience will look at me for entertainment but I can never be the villain of the house.”

After Bigg Boss OTT 2, Manisha Rani shared that if the audience wants to see her again, she would happily sign up for Bigg Boss 17. “Mauka milega, toh hum chauka zarurr maarenge,” she signed off.

Elvish Yadav was announced the winner of Bigg Boss OTT 2 while Abhishek Malhan became the runner-up.
