Won't lie about my relationship with Kushal: Gauhar Khan

New Delhi: Actress Gauahar Khan, who won the popular reality show Bigg Boss - Saath 7 Saturday, says she will not lie about her relationship with her co-contestant and actor Kushal Tandon."My relationship with Kushal is what it is. I am not going to camouflage it or lie about it outside the 'Bigg Boss' house," Gauahar told IANS in a telephonic interview from Mumbai."We came on the show, we became friends and we fell in love, and I don't have to lie about it at all," added the actress who came across as a headstrong girl in the show and even walked out when she felt that Kushal's sudden elimination was unfair, only to return later.[caption id="attachment_1312323" align="alignleft" width="380"] Courtesy: Facebook[/caption]The actress, who has been part of movies like "Game" and "Ishaqzaade", spent 103 days in the "Bigg Boss" house and describes her journey as a "roller-coaster ride"."My journey in the 'Bigg Boss' house has been dangerous. It has actually been a roller-coaster ride."I gave more than 100 percent in the past 15 weeks and I am really proud of it. I did whatever I felt is right and stood by it," she said.One thing that the 29-year-old did not like during her stay was when the other contestants became judgmental about her."The toughest part for me was being judged - people judging me for what I do, calling me fair and unfair. They even judged my relationship with Kushal and said that it was for the cameras," she said."Overcoming and struggling through that was a challenge for me. I was what I am," Gauahar added.Bigg Boss - Saath 7 was not Gauahar's first stint on a reality TV. She had earlier participated in the third season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and Khan Sisters. But after winning the reality show, she says she is on "seventh heaven"."It's a dream come true. I feel lucky, honoured and happy to won the show. The 15 weeks of hard work paid off and I feel on the seventh heaven right now," she said.What kept you going throughout the show?"First of all it was because of Allah, then I will credit the way my family has brought me up and then my spirit to keep going."It was also because of Kushal that I was able to survive for so long. He gave me strength when I needed it. I really appreciate what he did for me during the show," Gauahar said.IANS
