Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Sarika's mock interview upsets Kalabhavan Sariga; Duo reconciles with heartfelt conversation
Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 witnessed a playful task turn sour when Sarika's mock interview with Sariga led to hurt feelings due to insinuations about her character. Sariga expressed her disappointment, prompting Sarika to offer a sincere apology, even addressing Sariga's husband through the camera to clarify her intentions were purely for entertainment. Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 continues to strike a balance between high-voltage drama and genuine emotional moments. In a recent episode, a playful task took an unexpected emotional turn when Sarika 's mock interview with fellow contestant Sariga left the latter deeply hurt. However, what followed was a touching reconciliation that reminded viewers of the show's human side. As part of a light-hearted segment inside the house, Sarika assumed the role of the bold, no-holds-barred interviewer and conducted a pretend post-Bigg Boss interview with Sariga. Known for her witty and often controversial style, Sarika asked pointed and exaggerated questions that she thought would be taken in jest. However, one particular comment — suggesting that Sariga was being 'flirty' with male contestants — did not sit well with her. Though other housemates laughed off the segment as harmless fun, Sariga was visibly upset and later confided in Akbar and Binny that the remarks had deeply hurt her. She expressed that, in her 20-year career, she had never been subjected to such personal insinuations, and was especially concerned about how such comments might impact her family's perception outside the house. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Neuropathy is not from Low Vitamin B.

As someone who hasn't had a happy married life, I know how important it is to have a good family. You're lucky to have her,' Sarika said emotionally. The conversation ended with the two hugging it out, bringing a moment of warmth and emotional healing into the often volatile Bigg Boss house.

Eijaz Khan admits he quit TV too soon: I might have made a mistake
Actor Eijaz Khan, a familiar face across television, films, OTT platforms, and reality shows, somewhat regrets the decision of stepping away from television at the very height of his fame. Between 2003 and 2008, Eijaz dominated the small screen, featuring in multiple hit shows and becoming a household name. Talking to us, Eijaz says how, just as his popularity soared, the actor made the surprising choice to take a step back, seeking relief from what he now calls 'over-consumption' and the pressure of constant visibility. Actor EIjaz Khan 'Being noticed was never a problem,' shares Eijaz, adding, 'Fans often tell me they want to see me in more diverse roles.' Despite being part of several notable film projects, he admits that he's still navigating his place in the industry. 'There have been phases where I thought, 'Maybe I made a mistake by stopping television at my peak in 2008. I could have built four more houses, secured my family's financial health forever.' But that's water under the bridge.' The actor, whose showbiz journey spans nearly 25 years, reveals that some of his roles were taken more out of necessity than creative choice. 'Yes, I've done work sometimes just to pay bills. But I've tried not to compromise on the craft too much,' he said, underscoring his commitment to authenticity in performance. Eijaz's post-Bigg Boss career was marked by a conscious effort to align roles with his evolving sensibilities. 'While I have played the cream of characters in my time, there was a period when I felt I was being over-consumed. I was part of many shows at the same time,' he recalled. 'Then came a time when I chose quality over quantity with the thought that now was the time I wanted to play sensible roles. But that also did not work in my favour.' As he continues to redefine his career path, Eijaz admits to facing an ongoing dilemma about visibility in the industry. 'I'm still unsure about navigating this space—whether to be highly visible at events or stay selective and risk being forgotten.' Perhaps most revealingly, Eijaz confesses to bouts of imposter syndrome. 'It might sound funny, but even today I go through phases where I struggle with imposter syndrome. I keep wondering, am I doing the right thing? How did I get here?' he said.
