Bigg
Boss
8
finalist
Preetam
Singh
says
the
reason
he
quit
the
show
by
accepting
Rs
25
lakh
was
because
he
realised
it
was
very
difficult
for
him
to
beat
fan-favourite
Gautam
Gulati,
who
eventually
came
victorious.
Preetam,
also
known
as
'RJ
Preetam
Pyare',
said
that
his
wife
was
not
happy
with
his
decision.
"The
first
thing
I
am
going
to
do
now
is
talk
to
my
wife,
who
is
upset
with
me.
She
did
not
like
my
decision
to
leave
the
show.
But
I
don't
regret
my
decision
at
all.
I
had
a
gut
feeling
on
the
stage
that
I
would
not
win.
Gautam
has
a
huge
fan
following,
which
is
difficult
to
match.
"We
were
given
so
much
feedback
throughout
the
season
so
we
all
knew
our
level.
We
knew
Gautam
was
loved
outside
a
lot.
Youth
loved
him.
He
was
projected
in
a
great
manner.
So,
I
think
I
took
the
right
decision," he
told
post
his
exit.
Preetam
became
viewers'
favourite
after
he
supported
Gautam,
when
he
was
cornered
by
the
other
housemates
for
abusing
Karishma
in
a
task.
Pritam
later
became
popular
for
his
association
with
the
'P3G'
group,
which
included
Puneet
Issar,
Praneet
Bhat
and
Gautam.
Though
he
and
Gautam
drifted
apart
in
the
latter
half
of
the
season,
Preetam
wants
to
let
bygones
be
bygones
as
the
show
has
come
to
an
end.
He
said
he
would
continue
his
friendship
with
the
boys'
gang
outside
the
house.
"I
will
be
friends
with
'P3G'
forever.
I
take
these
friendships
with
me
for
the
rest
of
my
life.
Gautam
and
I
shared
a
good
bond,
which
had
misunderstandings
too.
"I
took
him
as
my
younger
brother
and
started
showing
that
right
on
him
as
well
but
I
did
not
realise
he
did
not
like
the
words
I
spoke
to
him.
But
our
friendship
will
continue," he
said.
When
asked
what
he
plans
to
do
with
the
huge
amount,
Preetam
said,
"My
family
will
take
care
of
it.
It
will
be
used
for
my
son's
study.
In
fact,
to
make
my
wife
happy,
I
will
take
her
on
a
trip."
Preetam,
46,
said
the
four
month-long
stay
in
the
Bigg
Boss
house
was
a
learning
experience,
where
he
learnt
to
discipline
himself.
"It
was
an
exercise
in
self-discipline.
I
learnt
so
much
about
myself
and
also
about
how
to
deal
with
different
kind
of
people.
Moreover,
I
was
just
a
voice
before
but
the
show
gave
me
more
recognition,"
he
said.
Preetam
Knew
Gautam
Will
Win
"We
were
given
so
much
feedback
throughout
the
season
so
we
all
knew
our
level.
We
knew
Gautam
was
loved
outside
a
lot," Preetam
says
after
Gautam
won
Bigg
Boss
