Model-turned-actress Gauahar Khan won the seventh season of Bigg Boss and took home the prize money of Rs 50 lakh and the trophy.

From fighting for friends to finding love during the show, Gauahar Khan's journey in Bigg Boss 7 had all the elements of a masala movie. She said now her aim is to do more films.

Gauahar talks to Rajul Hegde about the big win.

Congratulations! Did you expect to win reality show Bigg Boss?

Thank you.

I want to dedicate this trophy to all those who loved me and voted for me. I would like to thank all my friends who thought my win is their win and, last but not the least, God who wanted me to win. I prayed every day to win. I am a big fan of the show.I wanted to win the show, but I did not expect to win.

When the four (finalists, Ajaz Khan, Sangram Singh, Tanisha Mukherjee and I) were there in the house, I was confident that I would win. But when I saw Tanujaji (Tanisha's mother), I felt the game is over for me, Tanisha has won. Considering a legend like Tanujaji came on the show, I felt it's her trophy. When Salman Khan lifted my hand, I felt he was kidding but when he announced my name, I couldn't believe it.

Has the feeling of winning sunk in?

I was shocked. The feeling has sunk in now and I am jumping with joy.

You and Kuhsal (Tandon) have openly acknowledged the love for each other on the reality show. But going my past records, we haven't seen any love stories going ahead. Comments.

We came on the show, we became friends and we fell in love, and I don't have to lie about it at all. I don't think anyone has declared it (love for each other) the way we did. I feel we gave each other respect and when this happens it doesn't die just like that.

We will work towards it and we will be together. It was also because of Kushal that I was able to survive in the show. He gave me the strength when needed. Also, he has made me realise when to shut up. I give credit to him for me wining the show.

I think he is very integral part of my win.

Kushal was little insecure about Ajaz Khan in the Bigg Boss house.

There was no insecurity but anger.

I don't know what Ajaz used to say about me outside and Kushal knew it as he had seen the show when he went out and came back again. He felt bad because I was still behaving normally with Ajaz. I don't think he was immature.

I think anyone could have reacted this way.

What's your take on Armaan Kohli and Tanisha Mukherjee's love story?

I have stayed inside the house and seen it for myself -- Armaanji and Tanisha both have feelings for each other. The only difference is they never accepted their love for each other. I feel they truly love and respect each other. I hope they have a future together.

You came across as a dominating person...

That's my personality. As I said I didn't try to play it safe. Yes, I am very opinionated and it does give me few negative experiences, but you know what, I have won Bigg Boss (smiles)


'I gave my 100 percent in whatever I did during my stay in the Bigg Boss house'

How do you sum up your journey in Bigg boss?

It has been a roller-coaster ride. I gave my 100 percent in whatever I did during my stay in the Bigg Boss house. I was just trying to be myself and not trying to be safe. I showed the viewers what I am in real life -- flawed or not flawed.

I wanted to be myself and I tried to be honest and gave my opinion where I felt it was needed. I received flak for it. However, the most difficult part for me was being judged by my housemates. They even judged my relationship with Kushal and said that it was for the cameras but I managed to overcome every challenge.

You looked gorgeous throughout the show...

I did not repeat any dresses but I did repeat my night wear. I managed to pack well and during festive season they used to send some clothes.


'I dont think there is a better host than Salman Khan for Bigg Boss'

Viewers felt Salman Khan was biased as a host because whenever he gave you and Kushal earful people came out in your support on social networking sites?

I think he was doing a fantastic job and I never ever said he is biased. As a human being, you do feel bad for certain things, which I told him on the show. When ever I felt he is talking too much I would try to give my opinions and explanations which I love. But I don't think there is a better host than him for Bigg Boss.

How much do you think your visibility on TV will help your career?

I don't know. My aim was to win the show and not for career. I wanted to be on the show for people to know me as a person other than Khan Sisters (she was part of another reality show earlier) on a larger scale.

I just hope that I keep doing lot of films. I love being an actor that's what I want to be. I love being on TV but only on reality shows. But now after Bigg Boss I will take a long time to take another reality show because I loved Bigg Boss.

What will you do with the prize money?

I really haven't thought about it.
