Tejasswi Prakash reacts to Gauahar Khan’s dig at her Bigg Boss 15 win, says “should cry foul over previous seasons’ results too”

Tejasswi Prakash grabbed the winner’s prize for Bigg Boss 15 on Sunday as host Salman Khan made the announcement. Notwithstanding, many fans of Pratik Sehajpal, including former Bigg Boss contestants Gauahar Khan and VJ Andy expressed their doubts over Tejasswi’s win. The new Naagin 6 star has now reacted to the criticism.

Insisting that she trusted the love she got from the audience, and the format of Bigg Boss, Tejasswi said that it didn’t appear fake to her: “Those doubting this season’s result should cry foul over the previous seasons’ results, too.” Gauahar had tweeted, “LoL!!! The silence in the studio at the announcement said it all. #bb15 there is only one deserving winner, and the world saw him shine. #PratikSehajpaI you won hearts. Every single guest who went in, you were their favourite, the public loves you. Keep your head held high .”

Tejasswi Prakash further told Times of India, “Also, why should I expect anyone to appreciate my victory? My family and I should be happy that I won and my fans should be happy that their hard work paid off. Why should my haters be happy that I won? My haters will obviously be sad about my victory. They have the right to be sad. Not everyone is going to love me. I am not an ice cream, I am human.”

Addressing bits of hearsay around the  casting for Naagin 6, Tejasswi added, “No offense to anyone but I think I was offered Naagin because I was doing a good job on BB. I would have been offered Naagin even if I hadn’t won Bigg Boss. That’s not how it works. Nothing can take away from my win on BB.” She also said that people saw her as a strong contender on Bigg Boss 15, and they can put as much blame as they like on the channel that made them what they are, par aap pehle hi dinn se itna kyu darte the mujhse (but why were you so afraid of me from the very first day?”
