Dhinchak Pooja evicted from "Bigg Boss"

MUMBAI: YouTube sensation Dhinchak Pooja today became the latest contestant to be evicted from the "Bigg Boss" house after she entered the show with a lot of fanfare only a few weeks ago.

Pooja's journey in the 11th season of the popular reality television show came to an end tonight with host Salman Khan announcing her name from among the eight contestants nominated for eviction this week.

"I had fun during my stay in the house, I wish I had the opportunity to be on the show for some more time. I am happy that I will be meeting my family and sad because I will miss my new family of Bigg Boss," Pooja, who became a YouTube star with her songs like "Selfie Maine Le Li Aaj" and "Swag Wali Topi", told PTI.

Pooja Jain, popularly known as Dhinchak Pooja, was nominated, along with Hiten Tejwani, Priyank Sharma, Sapna Chaudhary, Shilpa Shinde, Hina Khan, Benafsha Soonawalla, Sabyasachi Satpathy and Bandgi Kalra.

"My journey has been good. Initially, I took some time to adjust in the house. I am a simple and confident girl, but I feel uncomfortable with cameras around for 24 hours," she said.

Pooja added that she was open to going back inside the "Bigg Boss" house if there was an opportunity.

The show is aired on Colors channel.
