Miesha Iyer, who was previously seen in reality shows like Splitsvilla and Ace of Space, got evicted from Bigg Boss 15 on Saturday, while boyfriend Ieshaan Sehgaal left the house on Sunday. Miesha speaks to mid-day.com about her stint on the show and life after.

What have you been catching up on post eviction?
I'm trying to catch up on some sleep, but I've not been successful. It's still very fresh. I've been eating good food, that's going to make me put on weight eventually, but I really don't care.

What are the things you miss about the house?
I miss the voice of Bigg Boss, waking up to music, wishing everyone good morning. I miss Bigg Boss warning me not to speak in English and to change my batteries. I miss waking up with so many people around me as well!

How did it feel to be judged for your relationship with Ieshaan?
I'm a 21st century woman, I will do whatever I want. People have an opinion on everything. I'm living life for myself, not anyone else! If I feel so strongly for someone, why not? I always accept how I feel, take full blame for things I do. I don't understand things like aise baat nahi karte, yeh cheezein nahi karte…kyun?

How did friends and family react to the relationship?
My friends knew that if I'm going on a show like this and confessing, it means I feel strongly about someone, then I actually do! I wouldn't fake it. So my friends want to meet him. My friends were surprised I cried so much because that's not how I am in real life. Apparently, I cried a lot on the show, though I haven't seen the episodes.

Which contestants would you stay in touch with?
I would keep in touch with Jay Bhanushali. Shamita Shetty is a boss lady and great at what she does, so opinionated. I bonded with her and she was so protective about me. It gave me an elder sister vibe.

Anyone who disappointed you?
Tejasswi Prakash, I was disappointed with. She always wanted me for everything when we were friends, later I heard she was adamant to get me nominated. I was taken aback and hurt. I'm glad that happened otherwise I wouldn't have upped my game towards the end.

Your opinion on wild cards Neha Bhasin and Raqesh Bapat?
I call Raqesh BB, Bapat Bhai. He's sweet, mature and genuine. JB and he would pull my leg. I love how opinionated Neha is. She doesn't think log kya kahenge, which is beautiful.

Ieshaan and you had an altercation with Rajiv Adatia…
Rajiv said Ieshaan is like a brother to me, so I understand his concern. But maybe he could have handled things differently. Everybody has a different way of showing emotions and I'm an emotional person myself. Maybe if I was in his place, my emotions would be strong too. To each his own!

How did you feel about Salman Khan's scolding and advice?
I used to have sleepless nights before Weekend Ka Vaar. It's like when your mom says, ‘Come home we need to talk' and you think of all the wrong things you've done in your lifetime. I would tremble. Everyone got their share of scolding so that made me feel alright. It's valuable feedback because he says what we are supposed to know.

Are you open to more reality shows?
Is there any bigger show than Bigg Boss? If they make one, I'll think about it.
