Raju Srivastav's comic antics could not save him from eviction from the Bigg Boss [ Images ] house.

This is the first time he had been nominated but the audience clearly preferred the other nominees Vindoo Dara Singh [ Images ] and Pravesh Rana [ Images ] over him.

Raju tells Rajul Hegde that it feels great getting out of Bigg Boss.

It seemed like you were not prepared to go out.

That's not true. I was mentally prepared to go out because I knew it was my turn. People have had enough of comedy, they want drama and fighting. And I was not doing that.

You were one of the most popular housemates in Bigg Boss. Why do you think the audience voted you out?

I was there for 63 days and I'm thankful to the public to keep me there so long. There have been many ups and downs in life; you can't be happy all the time. People want more aggression and arrogance on the show. Maybe that's why they saved Vindoo and Pravesh. I have no complaints because I am satisfied with the duration of my stay.

I was feeling low of late because of the verbal spats between Vindoo, Pravesh and Kamal Khan. That definitely troubled me.

You dressed like a woman for a week. Didn't that make you uncomfortable?

Nobody wished to take the hand grenade which Rohit Verma [ Images ] was to offer one of us. So I decided to take it up. I always wished to do things the rest wouldn't do. This task was a challenge. I decided to entertain the viewers dressed up like a woman. I tried to project rural as well as urban women. I borrowed lipstick and kajal from Poonamji (Dhillion). I had fun.

Who do you think played dirty games?

I would not like to take any names. Everyone is insecure. All of them are making mistakes and playing for money.

I want Vindoo to win because he entertains people. He has a good heart.
 
Would you like to go back to the house?

Yes, if I have the dates.

Tanaaz [ Images ] Irani and Aditi Govitrikar [ Images ] pulled off your pyjamas near the swimming pool, which created quite a controversy.

I was shocked. They should not have done it but I knew it was an accident, so I forgive them. I am told that the media aired the clipping and it certainly was controversial.

Sri Adhikari Brothers sent a legal notice to you when you were inside the house.  Can you talk about that?

They are launching a channel later in the month and I am doing shows for them. No dates were decided when I entered the house. I had informed them that Bigg Boss would wind up towards the end of the month.
