Karishma Kotak is the latest contestant to be eliminated from Bigg Boss 6 during a mid-week eviction.

The 30-year-old television presenter will be seen leaving the house through a magical trick.

Karishma, who had re-entered the house after her father's demise, said her eviction from show came as a surprise.

"I was surprised but I have no regrets because it's an achievement to stay in a house like Bigg Boss for 12 weeks. This season has been extraordinary because every day had some surprises. I enjoyed my days in the house."

Did she see any changes after re-entering the house?

"I re-entered the house because it was my father's wish to participate in the show. After Navjot Singh Sidhu's exit, the atmosphere in the house was bad. I missed Sidhuji, I adore him very much. I had changed after my father's death as well -- I became more vocal."

'People, who live in the Bigg Boss house, can live anywhere in the world'

How was her overall experience?

"For any human being, it's tough to be confined in a house without any contact (to the outside world). People, who live in the Bigg Boss house, can live anywhere in the world. All the tasks given to us were memorable, including when Salman Khan visited us inside the house."

Karishma always stayed away from controversies in the house. She never talked about her relationship with model and co-contestant Niketan Madhok, whom she had dated seven years ago.

Niketan had said that Karishma didn't deserve to be in Bigg Boss during a lie detection test. Karishma shrugs it off, saying, "That is his opinion. It did bother me for a couple of hours but it's okay."

Sadly, after her re-entry, her 'best friend' Sana ceased to be her friend due to Karishma's proximity with Vishal Karwal.

"When there are only 10 people in the house, it's better to interact with them all. I innocently went and made friends with him. I didn't know she was insecure," Karishma says.

'Santosh Shukla was a funny guy'

During her stint in the show, she was one of the most popular housemates. Santosh Shukla had proposed to her, and she explains, "I clarified with him on the show because people think differently when one appears on television. After the clarification, I realised he was a funny guy." 

Who's the strongest contender for winning the show? "Urvashi Dholakia," Karishma answers. "Even Niketan is a strong contender. I want him to win the show because he is honest and a good friend."
