Mumbai: Item girl Rakhi Sawant, who has been eliminated from Sony TV's game show Bigg Boss, feels the element of reality is underplayed in it.
"Right now everything feels unreal. Most of the contestants were busy acting all the time, manipulating things to their own advantage, forming their own groups. I was the odd outspoken one out and I suffered," Rakhi said.
However, Rakhi is not unhappy with the fact that she was voted out.
Re-living her one-month of exile, she said: "It may be a reality show. But it was unreal for me. I learnt so much about life and people. All my life I had been pampered. But in Karjat there was no one to wipe my tears - neither my mother, nor my boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi (a TV actor). It taught me to be self-sufficient and to value the people who love me."
Most of all, the one-month experience taught Rakhi to be an expert at washing laundry.
"I had started my own Sawant Laundry Service in there. I washed everyone's clothes. What else could I do to wile away my time? I was so bored. There was nothing to do."
One good thing that came out of the experience was that Rakhi's constant companion Abhishek publicly confessed his love for her.
"Abhishek is my choreographer, companion, best friend and boyfriend. He accompanies me on all my shows. I love him the most. I missed him so much during my stay in Karjat.
"It made me realise I want to spend the rest of my life with him. But marriage isn't on the cards right now."
The one thing this spunky item girl didn't do in there was sweet talk.
"If I had massaged their heads and egos, cooked their favourite delicacies and slept in the boys' room, I wouldn't have been eliminated.
"I'm a very frank and honest person. I admit I wanted to form my own group with Kashmira Shah, Anupama Verma and Amit Saad. But I was let down.
"Amit, whom I liked and wanted to befriend, behaved and spoke very badly with me. He said he could have me thrown out in a minute. Who's he to throw me out?"
Rakhi says that she had to endure lot of unpleasant things there.
"Believe me, I tolerated a lot of things. I wasn't able to sleep because everyone kept talking and singing or snoring till late in the night. I can sleep peacefully now."
Then she paused and said: "But you know what? Given a chance, I'd like to go back again for the experience."
