Evicted from Bigg Boss 19, Zeishan Quadri recently opened up about his experience on the show. The actor said he felt betrayed by fellow contestants Amaal Mallik and Baseer Ali, claiming they spoke ill of him after he exited.
In exclusive interviews with several national media, Zeishan said that after his eviction there was backbitching and surprisingly it was being done by Amaal and Baseer whom he considered like his younger brothers.
About Gaurav Khanna, he told Gaurav tried to take charge in the early days, but backed off after being confronted. He praised Tanya Mittal, saying she took care of him.
Further, Zeishan regretted that the show’s makers hadn’t properly guided or given feedback to him after the fourth week, which he felt was unfair.
