Disappointment for Rex D'Souza
My father Paul D'Souza is in the construction business and mother Sangeeta is a housewife. My sister Librina is studying in class XII. I have completed my second year BCom and will do my last year through correspondence.
My mom has been very supportive, she always sends SMSes to vote me in, but my father wanted me to get a job. I used to work at a call centre. He did not want me to take that up as a full time career. I have worked in [comedian] Johnny Lever's group too.
We have become very popular, thanks to Fame Gurukul. The first thing I will do after this is that I will learn music. I get a lot of barbs that I am not a trained singer. Qazi is the only one who supports me, because even he is untrained.
I like to tease Ruprekha. I keep telling her, 'Rupu, I love you,' and she gets very irritated. She reminds me that it is live on camera and everybody is watching, but still I harass her a lot.
Once, we made the girls have a boxing match. Ruprekha was not ready to wear shorts, so I told her that she did not have the spirit to do anything in life, and even make it to the Fame Jodi. I coaxed her so much that she finally wore shorts and won the boxing match!
I miss my younger sister Tisha very much. She is my adopted sister. She's actually my mausi's daughter whom my family has adopted.
My winning card is that I relate to the common man. If someone from the audience gives me a flying kiss, I return it. But I am not like Qazi. He has tremendous support from the audience. I don't act like him, he always pretends. Qazi <>ajeeb sa character hai! But he's also my favourite. Earlier, we used to share a room, along with Amit. We called our group the Dil Chahta Hai group.
My other plus point is my smile. I always smile. My minus point is I am fat. I'm working on that but here, you cannot work out. Here, you only eat, sleep and do a lot of work!
I am missing home a lot. I want to meet my mother because whenever she comes here, we're on camera. I want to go home and relax. I want to meet my friends. I party a lot and I'm missing that.
