The eviction of Karan Mehra from Bigg Boss 10 on Saturday came as a shock for many! While Rohan aka Naksh couldn't hold back his tears and cried like a baby on letting his reel dad aka BFF Karan go back home, Karan rather seemed complacent on the judgement. After being in for 35 days, Karan is happy that he is back to his darling wifey Nisha, at the right time, just a day after her birthday.

The actor, while in an candid tete a tete with Pinkvilla.com, stated on how he literally survived through the lows inside and dealt with the mad house! "I was just trying to show people to be positive inside the house, but it seems that wasn't liked." It was said that Karan was too good and naive for a show like Bigg Boss! Tell him this and he says, "Yeah, I was told the same before, but you know, the show doesn't deserve a person like Karan!," says Karan confidentially.

"There was something that was surprising in everyone. The first week went on and we saw one participant creating a lot of issues. The other week, it was someone cheating in a task and doing wrong things. It was quite surprising to see that we as celebrities were quite adjusting and doing all the things like cooking, cleaning etc etc. I felt surprised when the rest kept saying they were representing the common man. It is such a huge responsibility when one says that you are representing the common people outside. Celebs are just a section, common man is representing the whole nation. But despite carrying the huge tag, they kept doing the wrong things; shouting, conspiring, planning, yelling, fighting for no reason, cheating. We too have been commoners once upon a time, but we never behaved this way even then, the way they behaved. I mean how can you change the definition according to your own requirement and state it as a universal norm of this is how a common man is!?"

So then why didn't Karan try and put these thoughts across in the show itself?! "I did try and put it across. I did try and talk to them. There is a certain way of putting things across, I did it in my civilised way but it seems that did not help them in understanding. I spoke to Manu, Manveer and Nitibha at times, even Swami. It was not my duty to do this, but i thought I should try. I told many times, but when I saw they were lending a deaf ear, I left it. I was told I was playing the peacemaker role inside and it was getting backfired. Everybody had kept me as a table tennis ball because after almost every fight, they would feel comfortable in coming up to me and telling me bout the issue and I would try to resolve then."

Last week, Salman had asked the celebs to buck up and not be dead ducks. To this Karan clearly stated that he completely disagrees with Salman! "No, I do not agree to what all he said. It was a misunderstood thing. This was all when during the nomination task, when we had to sit on the chair on the garden area and wait for a call from BB. I just thought why would I sit outside in the heat for a call. And that was the first day, we chose to relax and that we had become the maliks of the house after working as servants for so many days, we simply chose to take it a little slow just that day. But it was shown across wrongly. There cannot be even one person inside the house who can stand and say that we have worked as much as or more than Karan in the entire duration. My one day work is equal to what majority of commoners did in whole 35 days, and people can vouch for it. And how can one term us to be lethargic?! After slogging for 20-22 days, which was not shown properly on TV, one day that we chose to sit and relax, and that one day was blown out of proportion and shown across on TV. So that one day of relaxation makes us lethargic and dead ducks?! What about the rest all days when we have worked and slogged out! We couldn't sleep properly because of a few glass pieces that were falling from the ceiling on our headside of the bed. Which is why we had to sleep the other way round. How safe is that? So we just lied down and hadn't even slept. But after that, when we were termed to be inactve, we decided to then go on with the tag. We have literally slogged; first Me, Rahul then Rohan, we have slogged much more than anyone else in the house. Despite that, if you say that we were sleeping and lazy, then we said ohk fine! Whatever it maybe!"

Talking about Rohan's captaincy, Karan said that he feels Rohan is sure to be a good captain. "It's just that he lost his cool when his decision of sending two contestants in the jail wasn't being obeyed by them for no reason. It came across as if Manu considered himself to be above Bigg Boss when he said that he isn't scared of anyone's father too. Then Rohan was like let BB see what could be done in such case. But I feel Rohan and Gaurav are good contenders and I will root for them."

Well Karan, we are sure you could have won the game only if Bigg Boss's format was less of tantrums, fights and more of love and all things nice! What say?!
