Actress
Karishma
Tanna
says
her
much-talked
about
romance
with
actor
and
fellow
contestant
Upen
Patel
on
reality
show
Bigg
Boss
8
was
not
fake,
contrary
to
what
other
contestants
said.
Karishma
also
clarified
that
she
regrets
using
chilli
paste
during
the
task.
Karishma
earlier
said
on
the
show
that
she
was
committed
to
a
businessman
and
would
marry
him
once
the
show
ends.
The
actress
raised
eyebrows
when
she
showed
affection
towards
Upen
without
formally
ending
her
relationship
with
her
boyfriend.
"My
feelings
for
Upen
were
real.
I
am
not
a
person
to
compromise
on
my
priorities
and
family
just
for
a
show.
I
was
true
to
him
and
to
my
feelings.
I
will
never
create
a
romantic
angle
to
survive
on
a
game
show.
"We,
however,
haven't
decided
about
the
future.
I
have
not
thought
about
it
right
now.
Let's
see
where
it
goes," Karishma
told
after
she
was
announced
as
the
runner-up
of
Bigg
Boss
8/
Bigg
Boss
Halla
Bol.
The
actress
said
she
regrets
applying
chilli
paste
on
her
co-contestants'
face
during
a
task,
which
got
her
backlash
from
the
audience.
Known
to
be
aggressive
in
the
tasks,
Karishma
said
she
could
have
toned
down
on
various
occasions.
"If
there
is
any
regret
in
my
four-month
journey,
then
it
is
using
chilli
paste.
I
don't
think
I
should
have
done
that.
I
have
realised
I
need
to
tone
down
and
be
easy
at
times.
It
is
good
to
be
competitive
and
have
a
fighting
spirit
but
one
should
not
go
to
extremes,"
she
said.
Her
arch-rival
on
the
show,
actor
Gautam
Gulati
was
crowned
the
winner
and
the
31-year-old
actress
said
she
is
happy
the
two
finished
the
season
together.
"We
started
out
as
enemies
but
later
on
became
cordial
because
the
show
has
such
a
format
that
you
keep
breaking
up
and
then
patching
up.
We
stopped
getting
into
each
others' matters.
Competition
and
rivalry
was
there
in
the
tasks
but
otherwise
we
were
fine
with
each
other.
We
began
together
and
ended
together
so
I
am
happy
about
that,"
she
said.
Karishma,
who
has
been
one
of
the
most
controversial
contestants
on
the
show,
said
she
has
changed
as
a
person
after
her
four-month-long
in
the
house.
"My
journey
had
a
lot
of
ups
and
downs
but
I
think
my
decision
to
take
up
this
show
was
right.
The
show
taught
me
a
lot
of
things,
especially
how
to
be
less
stubborn.
I
have
come
out
as
a
better
person," she
said.
Karishma
looks
forward
to
going
on
a
much-deserved
vacation
with
her
family.
"I
am
happy
I
will
be
with
people,
who
would
not
judge
me.
I
can't
wait
to
be
with
my
folks," Karishma
said,
adding
that
she
plans
do
films
and
reality
TV
after
the
break.
