Falling in love takes time: Armaan Kohli

Armaan Kohli talks about 'best friend' Tanisha, his ugly spat with Sofia Hayat and plans of remaking his father's hit films

You regret what happened five days ago?
I don't even remember what had happened since the stress level in the house is very high.

You don't remember being arrested by the Lonavala on a complaint filed by your Bigg Boss copartcipant Sofia Hayat for assualt and sexual harassment ?
The format of the show is such that no one is allowed to touch anyone. Had I hit Sofia, you think I would have been allowed to return to the house. Once I get permission to hold a press meet, I'll show what really happened.

So you think what happened was a publicity?
I wish Sofia happiness but she made an issue out of a tissue.

But you often came under the scanner for your temper?
I have never done a reality show before this. So in front of the 100 cameras I behaved exactly as I would off camera. When I entered the show, I had said that I would treat the inmates the way they treated me. If someone uses foul language, how can I keep quiet? Every action has a equal reaction.

There has been a lot of Armaan bashing by the ex-contestants. Your former girlfriend Ayesha Jhulka even called you a woman beater...
Jitni mooh, utni bakwaas. I can't really stop that. I am the biggest momma's boy and I have said this on the show. There's a very thin line between the good and the bad side.

Have you changed since you entered the house?
Yes, when I went in there, I was out of control. After after spending so many days inside, I am more patient and calm today. I have developed the ability of listen to people which should help me all my life.

Is Tanisha Mukherji responsible for this change? Are you in love with her?
I have no idea at this point in time. She is a very dear friend who has stood by me and done a lot for me. But falling in love takes some time. It can't just happen in two months. But whatever happens, we will stay friends.

It is said that Tanisha's family members are not happy about the relationship...Whatever they say is right. We belong to the same fraternity and they are part of the family. All I can say is that I am very lucky to have found a friend like Tanisha.

Your dad, Raj Kumar Kohli, told TOI that you are not doing much and that he needs to discuss with your future with you...
The first call I made when I came out was to my dad. I couldn't meet him when I was taken to the police station and I'm waiting to apologise to him for giving him so much trouble.

An astrologer on the show said that you will be good in production. Any films of your father's that you wish to remake?
There are some 40 odd films. I would love to remake dad's 'Naukar Biwi Ka', 'Jaani Dushman' and 'Raaj Tilak'.

Getting evicted in the last week must be painful?
Yah, it's sad but no regrets. Surviving for over 90 days is an achievement on its own. In my eyes, I am a winner.
