Tejasswi then pointed out that Harshad had cried several times during the show and observed that he had often acted as a shield for Shivangi during their time inside the house.
Explaining their bond, Harshad said, “Because we have been friends for a little while and when we got into that scenario where there are 15-16 people… which was challenging in the sense that food was less, then automatically the situation became such that we did not think what happened next.”
