Pranit More
After ending his Bigg Boss 19 journey as the second runner-up, Pranit More exclusively spoke to mid-day, opening up about the emotions, learnings and relationships he takes back from the show.
Reacting to coming so close to the top, Pranit said, "It feels good. Obviously, you feel bad when you get eliminated. Initially, you don't feel bad because you don't have any hopes. When I got so much support and reached the top five, I thought I'd win. I thought I'd reach the top two. Gaurav and I had planned to switch off the lights and leave. When I left, I felt a little bad. But it's okay, there's acceptance that people are supporting you just like they are supporting others. So, I guess my journey was up to here. So, I think it's better if you have a good heart."
Looking back at his long and eventful journey, filled with friendships, fights and emotions, Pranit called it special and introspective. "The journey was obviously very special because we spent a lot of time thinking about what we've done. Even during family week, our family members told us things. When I saw the journey, I found it very inspiring for myself. Bigg Boss usually scolds people, but they said a lot of good things. Overall, what I stood up for, I was good for my friends, and I made genuine bonds. Plus, I also entertained people," he shared.
Addressing the much-discussed equation with Malti, he clarified, "There was a part where I felt that I had a very genuine friendship with Malti. They made a romantic angle out of it, so I had a little problem with that. But still, I consider her a good friend." On their unresolved fight, Pranit added, "I apologised to her, but she got eliminated before we could sort it out. When we met today, I talked to her. Things got a little better. She still feels bad, but she is a friend. That's why she is feeling bad."
Speaking about Abhishek, Pranit explained his decision inside the house. "In that situation, it was not about who to eliminate and who to save. According to my values and my family, I felt Ashmoor was right. Obviously, Abhishek feels bad about it. I will convince him because he is a friend. That's why he is angry."
One of the biggest highlights of his journey was the PM show inside the house, which boosted his confidence. "I didn't even know what it was. When people I didn't get along with hugged me and appreciated me, that's when my confidence increased. Because of that, my personality came out more because of my work," he said.
Pranit also admitted he regrets one fight in the house. "The fight I had with Shehbaz made me realise that hurting someone back is not who I am. After that, I never crossed the line," he confessed.
As for friendships outside the house, he concluded, "My friendship with Awez and Mridul will go very far. I am sure this bond would go far. Rest of them aren't my friends but shall be cordial with them." Summing up his biggest takeaway, Pranit said, "It is very important to accept your mistakes and learn from them. If it is your mistake, accept it, say sorry, and don't repeat it."
