Mumbai: After winning Khatron Ke Khiladi season 14 last year, television actor Karan Veer Mehra was crowned winner of ‘Bigg Boss 18’ on Sunday.
In an interview with ANI, Karan said he considers himself lucky to win back-to-back reality shows.
“I feel very happy. I am the chosen one. I did the rare task of winning back-to-back reality shows. I believed in myself. I worked hard and aimed for the top, and it happened. I came to know a few things about me, like that I am an emotional person. Before, when I used to cry over little things, I felt bad. But now, I believe that it’s okay. ”
Karan has always been compared to late Siddharth Shukla, who won the Bigg Boss 13 trophy.
“Bohut acha ladka tha wo (Siddharth) . Mera bohut acha dost tha. Humne kaafi zyada time spend nahi kiya, but we knew each other very well. Main khush hoon ki mujhe ussey compare kiya jaa raha hai. Wo dil ka bohut bada insaan tha (He was a great guy and my good friend. We didn’t spend a lot of time together, but we knew each other well. I’m happy to be compared to him. He was a big-hearted man),” Karan said.
“I remember jab main naya aaya tha Bombay toh uske paas ek bohut badi bike thi. Maine request kiya tha ki, ‘Mujhe photos khichani hai apne folio ke liye. Toh main kya main tere bike ke paas khada ho kar khichwa loon?’ (When I was new in Bombay, he had a huge bike. I told him, ‘I needed to get pictures clicked for my folio. Can pose near your bike’),” he shared while remembering Siddharth.
“Wo neechay aa kar apni chaabi de gaya and usne bola ki, ‘Back road pe chalaate hue photos kheech’. Itni mehengi bike agar koi aise dost ko dede toh aap samajh sakte ho dil kitna bada tha uska. I miss him. I wish I could share this moment with him (He came downstairs, handed me the keys, and said, ‘Take photos while riding it on the back road.’ If someone can lend such a costly bike to a friend, you can imagine how big-hearted he was),” he added.
The grand finale of Salman Khan-hosted ‘Bigg Boss 18’ was held on January 19 at 9.30 pm on Colors TV.
Six contestants — Karan Veer, Vivian Dsena, Eisha Singh, Chum Darang, Avinash Mishra and Rajat Dalal — had made it to the finale.
