Eijaz Khan within a few days inside Bigg Boss 14 house is winning hearts of many. He has been dealing with every situation in a mature way but also showed his angry side too. In the recent episode, Eijaz had a fight with Siddarth Shukla during task performance. Before entering Bigg Boss 14, we got a chance to have a quick interaction with the talented actor wherein he spoke about choosing this as his first reality show, initial inhibitions and more. 

When asked why he chose Bigg Boss 14 as his first reality show, Eijaz told DNA, "Better late than never! I used to get calls every year and I kept on making excuses in my head that now's not the right time. Now I don't have the bandwidth, I still have a lot of mental health issues that I need to address. Otherwise, I'll go ahead and stop killing people. Every year I used to be like, I have to achieve something more."

He further shared, "But this year, I think everything kind of fell into place. Pandemic has stopped our work and it has forced us to heal ourselves. We don't have a choice. So now, this is the best, safest and the biggest opportunity any celebrity/actor could ask for. I am just grateful that it happened."

On his pre-impression of Bigg Boss, the Kkavyanjali actor revealed, "To tell you the truth! I was most scared about the screaming and the fighting. I used to think, 'What is this?! Glorifying, just manufactured conflict. The more you scream, the most stupid you act, the more the glorified it gets. And the more attention you get. I don't really think it is that because I think people relate to, in people with integrity to stand up for what is right, if it's for them. And it is if it is for any other member in the house, people relate to that."

Eijaz concluded by stating, "So if you are fighting for what is right, I think you will find support. If your heart is not in it, if you're unreasonable when you're fighting people, then it becomes like a screaming match. So there was a frequent misconception about it. But now I see all those preconceived notions have been shattered. I haven't let myself have any more preconceived notions about it. I want to go in with a fresh mind, fresh approach, with myself. I believe good things happen with good people."
