I am not pregnant: Diandra Soares

Mumbai, Dec 14 (IANS) Model Diandra Soares, the latest contestant to be evicted from "Bigg Boss 8", has rubbished pregnancy rumours saying "Kissing doesn't lead to pregnancy".

The 35-year-old, who was considered to be one of the strongest contenders in the reality show, was voted out Sunday. The otherwise active Diandra was lying low last week because of poor health. In fact, she was taken to a hospital for a check-up.

It was reported that she was pregnant. When asked about the rumour, she categorically said: "I am not pregnant."

"Kissing doesn't lead to pregnancy. It's just a rumour that has been flying outside," Diandra, who was seen getting intimate with her co-contestant and actor Gautam Gulati in the Bigg Boss house, told IANS after coming out of the house.

"I was taken to hospital because I was unwell. Now my health is absolutely fine," she added.

Last week, all contestants were nominated following their failure to follow the rules of the house.

Diandra, whose stint with the show lasted 12 weeks, was seen as a vibrant and entertaining contestant. She was popular for her changing hairstyles and leadership quality.

During her stay, she shared a good camaraderie with the contestants.

When asked why was she evicted, she said: "Maybe I was no more a favourite of the audience. I got evicted like any other contestant. There's nothing new in my eviction."

"Bigg Boss", which airs on Colors, attracts audiences mainly for its controversies and acrimonious fights.

Hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, the show is now left with nine contestants and Diandara feels that Puneet Issar is the "mastermind inside the house".
