Rimi Sen's mothers interview

About her daughter sobbing on national television, even as Salman tried to console her. Mama Sen says, "Salman bheeshon bhalo manush (Salman is a wonderful man)! Rimi has known him since the Kyun Ki days. I am a very practical person. I didn't cry when I saw her crying. Rimi has always been a strong girl, independent and confident by nature, even as a child. She's a national scholar, has learned dancing since the age of three, is an accomplished Odissi dancer and has been working since she was 14. She has always made her own decisions. I am sure she knows what she is doing and how to take care of herself.

She adds that she wouldn't like to advise Rimi on anything. "She is a big girl. Who am I to give her advice? Even if I did, it wouldn't get through to her as she has no connect to the outside. I came to know that she had signed up for the reality show only when the producers came home to get the contract signed. I don't want to interfere in her life in any way. She has always been like my guardian angel, even as a child..."

When asked why she was absent on the first day of the show, she shrugs, "I am a very religious person and we had Mahalaya then (the week before Durga Puja). I have also taken initiation (diksha) from the Ram Krishna Mission and am involved in their work. I am busy with that." She adds, "There are many cameras inside the house that everyone comes to know what's happening."

Does she miss her daughter? She says, "If Rimi got married and went abroad after that, it would be the same, no? Of course, not that it would happen " Rimi has no desire to get married." Would she like her to stay till the end? "It depends on her. Rimi is an intelligent girl and she will decide what she wants to do. While she has friends, nobody is very close. Even I am like that." Would she enter the BB house when asked by the channel, Sanghamitra replies unequivocally, "No."
