The controversial reality show Bigg Boss is not only known for its ugly fights but also for its love stories and budding romance. And the fourteenth season of Bigg Boss was no less from Jasmin Bhasin-Aly Goni to Rubina Dilaik-Abhinav Shukla the show witnessed a lot of “aww so cute” moments between these contestants. Apart from these couples actress turned politician Sonali Phogat also grabbed a lot of attention after she expressed her feelings for Aly Goni. She was massively trolled by the netizens for developing feeling for a much younger boy.
Now in an interview with TOI, Sonali Phogat had revealed that she is still trolled for liking a boy who is much younger than her, “I think if someone expresses his or her feelings for the other person, I feel more than making fun of that person, we should appreciate them. But when I shared my feelings about Aly Goni, people started trolling me. They made fun of me, passed remarks and questioned my thinking. I was shocked that we are in the 21st century. My feelings were pure, I didn’t have any malice in my heart. I did not pretend to be something else inside the Bigg Boss 14 house, I showed my true personality. I did not lie about my feelings nor tried to fake anything. I wanted to show my real side in the Bigg Boss 14 house and wanted people to know me”.
She had further added, “I wanted the audience to know that even people from politics are human and they also have emotions and family. But some people don’t understand this. Bigg Boss 14 got over 3 months ago, but people still try to troll me by taking Aly Goni’s name. Whenever I post a picture or video on Instagram they will write Aly Goni in the comments. They don’t write anything else, just his name. I don’t get affected by these comments as I share a very close bond with both Aly and Jasmin Bhasin. I share a friendly bond with them just like I have with Rahul Vaidya, Arshi Khan, and Rakhi Sawant. Whatever I felt I expressed on the show and it’s natural that when we stay in an atmosphere where we have no connection with the outside world, you develop feelings. It’s natural and I didn’t fake it.”
She further lauded Ali Goni’s rumoured girlfriend for not making things awkward for her, “I really appreciate Jasmin Bhasin, initially I thought she is a kid but she is very mature. She understood my feelings for Aly Goni and never made things awkward for me. In fact, I’ve known Jasmin for a long time and she has always been in contact with me. She has been part of my happiness and sorrows and we are in touch with each other through messages.”
