Bigg Boss 14 Contestant Eijaz Khan Reveals How He Fell In Love With Pavitra Despite Swearing Not To Do So

When Bigg Boss 14 had started, Eijaz Khan was the first contestant to make his entry. Salman Khan, like every year, had asked him whether he is open to falling in love on the show. His answer was a vehement no. He had said, “I will never go near a woman or have any romantic feelings because I don't want to catch people's attention by romancing anyone in Bigg Boss. And after living alone for many years, I think I will remain single now, akela aaya hoon, akela jaunga.” But, as they say, life had other plans and the actor was head over heels for Pavitra Punia. Now, he has opened up about what caused this change in mind.

Talking to TOI, the actor revealed, "I realised that I had feelings for Pavitra only after a month. We even had talks of how we should not indulge too much and let go of our sight of the game that we were playing in Bigg Boss. But as the famous saying goes, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans...the lockdown made me realise that I needed to do many more things and Bigg Boss also taught me that there are other things left to do in life. In the midst of this, I realised I had a soft corner for Pavitra. It was not because she is gorgeous or took care of me, but I genuinely felt she was the right person for me.”

He also added that he has been seeking therapy as well and said, "Currently, as a couple, we are working through a lot of things like families, COVID-19, getting out of the Bigg Boss mode, etc. I’ve also realised that I need to undergo therapy for certain things. People assume that when you are in a relationship, you are in a happy space and your companion is like your therapist, but that is not how it works. Pavitra is my companion and I want her to be that. After spending so many months in Bigg Boss, I wanted to go to a therapist and talk about my feelings. I wanted someone to make me understand and process these multiple thoughts that keep coming to my mind.”

Well, we love the duo and would definitely like to see them get stronger together!
