Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia is one of the most popular Bigg Boss 16 contestants. The actress's father, Gurdeep Singh Ahluwalia, spoke candidly about his daughter's experience on the popular reality show in a recent interview. He believes Nimrit is doing exceptionally well in the game. “She has come this far and I am sure she will reach the finale as well. All she has to do now is concentrate on herself and she will be roaring,” he states. He also discussed the developing enmity between Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and whether there is a chance that the two may one day put their differences behind them.
“Both of them are contestants and both of them are playing the game the way they feel is better for them. As far as friendship is concerned, it’s always good to be friends, and Nimrit will always extend a hand of friendship. But it may be contrary to someone’s new year’s resolution. From Nimrit’s side, she is open to friendship with all. The other person will have to now maybe cancel the new year’s resolution and come forward, but Nimrit will definitely take the first step,” he said.
He also praises Nimrit for sharing her struggles with mental health. “Nimrit has voiced this subject, which is commendable, and the media and the industry is appreciating that which is very good. It is also applause to her, which reflects her strong personality as a strong woman. But perhaps it’s not depression, she suffered from chronic work fatigue because it's a little demanding kind of industry and demanding kind of work. Perhaps long hours (of work) led to that, but then she took medication and she started recovering,” says the father.
Gurdeep Singh Ahluwalia continues, “She performed to deliver the best. The moment she identified there is a problem, the diagnosis came out to be chronic work fatigue and not depression. So before she could go into that stage of depression she addressed it, and that has helped her to recover much faster. So she is now mentally capable to take on more challenging tasks and roles.”
He also comments on the rumoured romance between Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and Shiv Thakare. “This is a report only. Report and rumours are as reported. It is too early to say anything. Their friendship is there for everyone to see. And after hundred days people are not clear on what the relationship is going on between the two people in the house. This is far too early to say anything about this relationship or this friendship”.
He continues by saying that his daughter does not need to be afraid of any of the competitors. “She is strong enough to handle everybody and she will prove it in the next 30 days”. He concluded, Nimrit has to win, but yes if it is asked to her - who would she like to give the trophy - then don’t be surprised when she says that Stan and Shiv are also deserving”.
