TOI: reality shows drain u emotionally-Vrajesh

Vrajesh Hirjee who believes in entertaining everyone says that his 62 day stint in the Reality Show 'Bigg Boss 6', was an eye-opener of sorts for him. When he finally got evicted, he said he felt "on top of the world. It felt like a burden taken off my shoulder. The first thing I did after I came out was to hug my family tightly. I realised how tough life is without phone and internet. To add to it, I was staying with strangers."

However, Vrajesh admits that "the limitations on food, sleep et al made an impact on us. I smoke a lot and was permitted to smoke a packet for eight days. I lost my cool and ended up fighting with Aashka (Goradia) and Imam (Siddiqui). I liked the challenge of doing this show, but found it emotionally and physically tiring."

So what are the plans now? "My first plan is to go on a long trip with my family to meet relatives in Vadodara, then I'll come down to Ahmedabad and sample some great food followed by a visit to Nathdwara."

And workwise? "I had returned signing amounts of all the film projects I'd taken up, but I'll return to the play I was associated with before I did this show. Let's see what else is lined up."
