Rahul Mahajans estranged wife Dimpy in Bigg Boss

Dimpy Ganguly Mahajan, who recently filed for divorce from her husband Rahul Mahajan, is the latest to join Bigg Boss. Interestingly, Rahul had participated in the second season of the show in 2008. So, is he aware of her entering the Bigg Boss house? "We are not in touch on a regular basis. But Rahul is aware that I'm going inside the house. I haven't taken any advice from him as he was dealing with a different set of people and circumstances. He just told me to be careful and that nobody is a friend inside," she says.

Even though her family members have been avid watchers of the show, they didn't take news of her participation too well. She explains, "They aren't sure if they would be able to see me break down on TV. I'm a soft person and tears are my way of expressing emotions. But when someone steps on my tail, I lose my calm."

Insisting that she has no game plan, she adds, "There is no strategy because the game and people inside change with every passing day. I want to become everyone's favourite inside the house. Among the contestants, I like Pritam because he has a sense of humour and knows how to tackle a situation without getting into conflict. I also find Sonali (Raut) amusing. And I think Gautam (Gulati) is the entertainment king. It can be annoying to stay with someone who has attitude problem, but you enjoy watching him on the show."

The show has often been in news for its inmates indulging in physical violence. Dimpy, on her part too, has reportedly had a history of domestic abuse in her marriage to Rahul. Has that experience helped her emerge stronger?
"I learn from every experience and it has made me more mature as a person. Coming back to the show, I don't think there has been any physical violence. Puneet (Issar) used a martial art technique during a task. But if anyone raises his hand on me, necessary steps will be taken to counter that. I'm sure Bigg Boss will himself look into it," she replies.

Coming to her personal life, Dimpy remains tight-lipped about what led to the separation. Ask her when the divorce is expected to come through and she says, "I don't know the final date, but it will happen soon." The reality star relocated to Dubai following trouble in her marriage and buzz is that she is dating a Dubai-based businessman. "I am separated, not divorced. I am both legally and emotionally not available," she concludes.
