Bollywood
and
Punjabi
film
actor
Arya
Babbar
had
several
heated
exchange
with
co-contestant
Puneet
Issar
during
his
stint
on
Bigg
Boss
8
and
he
accused
the
senior
actor
of
playing
dirty
politics
inside
the
house.
Besides
the
verbal
fights,
the
32-year-old
actor
also
engaged
in
a
physical
tussle
with
Puneet,
which
resulted
in
the
latter
being
punished
and
confined
to
a
make-shift
jail
inside
the
Bigg
Boss
house.

"A
distinctive
characteristic
of
every
person
was
highlighted
on
the
show-
sweet,
self-obsessed,
quarrelsome,
dumb
and
hypocrite.
Puneet
Issar
was
obnoxious,
cheap
and
dirty.
He
represents
the
dirt
and
murk
of
the
society.
He
would
call
someone
his
son
and
daughter
and
then
later
talk
bad
behind
their
backs," Arya
told
after
his
eviction
from
the
show.
The
actor,
who
is
the
son
of
actor-politician
Raj
Babbar
and
theatre
personality
Nadira
Babbar,
said
that
he
tried
his
best
to
be
respectful
towards
Puneet
but
the
Mahabharat
star
thwarted
his
endeavours
with
his
behaviour.
"I
come
from
a
background
where
I
was
taught
to
respect
elders.
I
respected
Puneet
ji
alot.
Even
when
he
attacked
me
so
violently,
I
was
nice
to
him.
But
he
trashed
Punjabi
cinema
which
is
like
my
mother.
"I
owe
a
lot
to
Punjabi
cinema
and
he
has
no
right
to
rubbish
it.
That's
why
I
lost
my
cool
and
could
not
reconcile
with
him
again,"
he
said.

8's
Puneet
Issar
Eliminated
For
Physical
Attack
On
Arya
Babbar!
Arya,
who
has
starred
in
films
like
Guru,
Ready,
Tees
Maar
Khan,
also
attributed
Gautam
Gulati's
unpopularity
amongst
the
housemates
to
his
proximity
with
Puneet.
"I
was
friends
with
Gautam
from
day
one
but
when
Puneet
ji
entered
the
house
in
the
second
week,
Gautam
lost
the
plot.
It
is
sad
that
Gautam
got
in
touch
with
Puneet
Issar.
I
wish
he
had
not,"
he
said.
Addressing
the
controversy
with
actress
and
former
co-contestant
Minissha
Lamba,
Arya
said
he
was
under
a
lot
of
pressure
when
he
said
that
they
dated
before.
"We
did
get
in
touch
before
and
I
asked
her
about
any
romantic
possibility
in
the
house.
It
is
quite
normal
for
co-stars
to
do
it
for
publicity
before
the
release
of
a
film.
"When
she
said
she
was
not
comfortable,
I
stepped
back
and
never
approached
her
again.
All
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
the
few
things
I
said
may
have
been
an
angry
reaction
to
what
Minnisha
had
said.
But
I
did
not
lie
about
anything,"
Arya
said.
When
asked
who
he
would
like
to
win,
the
actor
said
he
wants
his
friend,
model-actor
Upen
Patel
to
win
the
show.
"I
want
Upen
to
win.
But
he
is
very
nice
and
sober
so
I
think
he
will
be
evicted
very
soon."
