When asked about the Sidharth controversy she said that people have loved him and voted for him, so there's no question about that now. She added that Sidharth was someone who used to stand up against everyone inside. Even if he was wrong sometimes, he used to strongly defend himself. That was one thing which made him the winner. When asked about his violent behaviour, she said, "Sidharth always used to apologise immediately. What can you do after that?"
"Not just Sidharth and Asim, there have been several fights in the house. Himanshi ne bhi Shehnaaz ko ek baar dhakka maara tha. Sab kuch hua hai. Talking about that tea incident, Rashami had given her own reaction, so I couldn't interfere in their fight. Also, it's not like Salman Sir didn't scold Sidharth. He was bashed up for that."
Bold - in dono cheezon ko hamein show mein kabhi dhang se dikhaya nahi gaya.....and it costed sid a lot. Sid used to immediately applogize.....we have hardly seen him appologizing on the show......and sid has also mentioned woh maafi mangta hain....him asking aarti if he was right or wrong in fight.....kabhi nahi dikhaya show mein. Jabki doosre logon ke feelings/discussions dikhaye jaate the.
According to aarti....salman did bashed him.....even rashmi said to bhau once ki sid ko kitna bura sunaya hain sir ne......but i guess....his bashing was cut too at a level....not everything was shown to us. These two things created immense sympathy in hearts of people for other contestants and helped in increasing the hate for him......its wrong on the channel part to do something like that......but i am glad i get to read this arti interview regarding this......i am thankful to her for revealing this.
