Sumbul Touqeer Khan, who rose to fame with her stint in Star Plus' popular show Imlie won hearts with her stint in Colors TV’s controversial reality show Bigg Boss 16. Not just this, the actress also went ahead to become the youngest contestant in the history of Bigg Boss to have survived the show for this long. While Sumbul’s game was appreciated by her fans, inside and outside the Bigg Boss house the actress was accused of a lot of things which included of her being overly emotional, of her being in her ‘Daily soap’ zone all the time and ofcourse her infamous infatuation towards fellow contestant Shalin Bhanot

Well, in a chat with us, the actress has answered all these questions and has reacted to whatever that has been said about her inside and outside the Bigg Boss house. Talking about her journey in the show, Sumbul called it a learning experience and called her stint in the Bigg Boss house ‘One of a kind.’

 Further, when we asked Sumbul of how she was always considered weak because of her being an emotional person and breaking down a couple of times, the actress replied to us and said, “I think to perceive someone who ‘cries’ and ‘breaks down’ as weak is absolutely wrong. Even if I break down a lot of times, I am still always able to voice my opinions as and when required. I absolutely do not think of people who cry often as weak, I think it requires a lot of guts to express yourself.”  

We also asked the actress about all the accusations on her being infatuated to Shalin Bhanot by Tina Datta and here’s what she has to say about the same, “If Tina ever considered me her friend, she wound not have sung this out to everyone aloud in this manner. Tina would always say that Shalin disrespects women, but tell me one thing, did she ever respect me? Tina contradicts her own statements. It did hurt me when I was linked up with Shalin because I genuinely considered him my friend. Tina was however an add on, but eventually, I became good friends with her too. But what hurt me were her statements, which is why I was maintaining my own distance with Shalin. However, that made Tina think that I was feeling jealous. What could I do in that case? But now when I look back at it, I think it all happened for good.”

Well, people who follow the show closely have their own opinions on the show. A few ex contestants also went ahead to state that Sumbul is not out of her ‘Daily soap’ zone and that when they look at her, they feel she’s always ‘acting.’ We asked Sumbul about the same to which she replied, “Have these people ever seen Priyanka? Have they seen Shalin? I was proud of not being called fake in the show, but this too has been taken away from me now.( smiles) but that’s okay. I think they must have watched my shows and maybe they were trying to match it. I don’t want to comment on it.”
