After a fight with Shehzad, Priyanka broke down in tears and spoke to Swara Bhasker about their fight. She said, "Now I know, Swara ji, how this person must have disturbed your sleep and how miserable your eight years would have been. He will get beaten up here too. He called me a gold digger yesterday. Did I steal his gold and run away? This kept going around in my head all night because I am the one who supports my family. I'll slap him so hard that the slap will be felt here, but the applause will be heard outside."

Priyanka later added, "You all mentioned that he got slapped and kicked out of every party. He got beaten up here too. Just think about how much respect this guy commands. He's going to get slapped by me here as well."

Priyanka bitterly wept, recalling how she has supported the education of her six siblings, got them married, and is even taking care of her nieces and nephews. She even funded her driver's kids' education. "I have six siblings, and I have educated all six of them, got them married, and helped them build their homes. And you call me a gold digger? I am a self-made woman."

About Priyanka and Shehzaad's fight

After Shehzad's fight with Siwet and the actor's elimination, Priyanka decided to move away from Shehzad. Things between the two participants got heated after she was ruled out of the Ultimate Ruler race. Later on, Priyanka and Shehzad sat on either side of contestant Raj Grover and exchanged barbs. Priyanka taunted Shehzad and asked Raj if he had ever heard of the term "manchild".

Shehzad replied, "Gold digger bhi suna hoga." Raj then said the term does not fit the context.

Ever since the show commenced, Shehzad has been locking horns with several contestants. He got in a war of words with Swara Bhasker as well. Apart from this, Siwet aggressively charged towards Shehzad, after which he was ousted from the show.
