Former actress Monica Bedi was the next person to be evicted from the house of Reality show Bigg Boss on September 5th.

Monica Bedi gained notoriety prior to the show for being involved with gangster Abu Salem. Monica, who was extradited along with Abu Salem from Portugal in 2005, lodged in jail in a fake passport case, and released later , participated on the show to “start life afresh”.

After being voted out, Monica Bedi said, “I would like to thank God for keeping me in the house till at least three weeks and giving me a chance to come back after all that I have been through (in life).”

Monica told show host Shilpa Shetty, “I fear that my intention (to make a comeback) has not been fulfilled.” “We were on camera for 24 hours, but out of that 40-45 minute footage was shown everyday, thus I fear that my intention was not fulfilled.”

Monica Bedi has had a pleasant time on the show where she mixed with the housemates well, helped everyone with the household chores and took active part in the weekly assignments.
On Monday’s episode, five house members nominated Monica (for being evicted) along with Rahul Mahajan, son of late Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pramod Mahajan. Though Rahul was noticed making romantic advances towards Monica on several occasions, Monica used to walk away to avoid “unnecessary speculation in the media”.

Monica Bedi had entered the Bigg Boss house along with 13 other participants, mostly celebrities. The participants are to spend three months closeted in a house sans any communication with the outside world. The winner of the show gets to walk away with a cash prize of Rs.750,000.

Monica Bedi has acted in about a dozen films like Pyaar, Ishq Aur Mohabbat, Jaanam Samjha Karo, Kaala Samrajya, Tirchhi Topiwale and Jodi No.1.
