Gizele Thakral who was evicted from the Bigg Boss 9 house recently is disappointed that she did not get good number of votes to stay back. “There are so many other contestants who are weak and haven’t given any content, but I guess because I don’t have many fans, I did not get votes,” says Gizele. The model-turned-actress who will be seen in two upcoming sex comedies has shared screen space with Mandana Karimi in one film. And, yet the two had a lot of fights in the house. “That’s because Mandana is egotistic and can be easily manipulated. Priya (Malik) told her that I had an agenda and that is why I wanted to be friends with her, which Mandana believed. I realised that she was possessive because as soon as I stopped talking with Priya, she was good to me,” says Gizele. Nevertheless she is grateful to Mandana, who she says, was the only who helped her when she injured her leg. Ask her if she has sorted out things with Mandana and she quips, “It’s very difficult to do that because she is stubborn, but that’s her nature and I don’t blame her.”
When in the house, she was mercilessly teased for her fuller lips even by host Salman Khan. Did that make her conscious? “No, because I have been facing it since my school days as I am half-Portuguese and half-Malayalee. As for Salman even if he gives gaalis, mujhe accha lagta hai. When Shah Rukh Khan came on the show, Salman told him about my lips and both were talking about it, which is great. Salman has made my lips famous,” smiles Gizele who is now looking forward to the release of her upcoming films.
