Mannara Chopra on being 'bothered' by Bigg Boss contestants' vocabulary
The Bigg Boss 17 contestant said, "I don't say much in the interviews, but it traumatized me once I was out of the house. So when I got out of the house, the comments and all were great for me, the reviews were very nice, the love from the audience was beyond and the respect from them was beyond. Even when I was traveling, the way people used to hug me, I realized that they could relate to me and I loved that."
"More than the tasks and everything, I think the vocabulary of certain people didn't change even after coming out of the house. When I'm trying to keep my calm and Patience in all the interviews and they're going ahead and talking filth; it kind of bothered me."

Mannara Chopra added, "I was being the best of myself in front of you and giving full respect, love, and care, and still you go behind my back; I think it started to bother me. Also, for somebody who has just relocated to Mumbai after living in the Delhi-Hyderabad sector, I thought after Bigg Boss, I'd have a lot of friends but when you hear these things, it unnerves you, this feeling can not be explained but I think it will go with time."
