Mumbai: Rahul Mahajan left his three housemates Raja, Zulfi and Ashutosh in tears, bidding them good bye as he made a voluntary departure from the Bigg Boss house after refusing to apologise for his breach of house rules of the reality show Bigg Boss 2.

CNN-IBN Enteratinment correspondent Rohit Khilnani spoke to him just hours after his dramatic exit.

Rahul also spoke about his political career, his much talked about friendship with Monica Bedi and the real Rahul.

Rahul Mahajan: First of all it is not eviction, it’s voluntary departure from the Bigg Boss house. You must have seen the last night episode and must have known the emotions behind it. I think it started with Saturday when we were quite hungry and there was lot of pressure. Ninety days is not an easy time, I think it kind of mental and physical pressure both. All of us were quite hungry the whole day, we made some khichadi because there were no tamatar (tomato) and piyaaz (onions) and we asked Bigg Boss to give us something.

We started ‘gandhigiri’ and we wrote with the lipstick of one of the girls who had left it, that ‘get well soon Bigg Boss on the store room door and we started singing song Raghupati raghav raja ram…. and even then something happened.

In the evening time, I and Zulfi have got acidity problem and we were hungry and there was nothing. We were hungry, tired, in the morning there was no water in the toilet; so lot of things had build up.

So, I think that kind of state of mind - physical and mental – so what we decided was that if we don’t get food right now, the entire dinner we will leave the show because we were really hungry. So that mental state of mind we decided to go and break the door and we said we want to leave.

Nobody opened the door, we tried to break the door and we broke the door. As soon as we broke the door, Bigg Boss called us and said we will think about it and nothing happened for 15 minutes and then we couldn’t control and I think it was not anger it was hunger.

Rohit Khilnani: It is a game, you guys were told the rules earlier that you guys won’t get food. So, was it a wise decision to break these rules, climb the wall, go on and do ‘gandhigiri’?

Rahul Mahajan: ‘Gandhigiri’, I think is wise but rules have been broken in different ways in the house many times, only few rules I think are left. But, I think at that point of time it is difficult to understand our psychology and because of this I stand by my decision. According to our physical, mental psychology what we decided at that point of time was right but today I won’t have taken that decision but that is today’s psychology because I have eaten my food, I am fresh, I am in a different atmosphere so I might not have repeated that.

Rohit Khilnani: Now, that you are out and you getting all your food, you are regretting taking that decision?

Rahul Mahajan: No, I don’t regret because that is what has happened next day Bigg Boss called and asked all of us what is your opinion and I was not ready so I had my face pack and it was very funny and lot of people think that the show is scripted but if the show is scripted why would I have had face pack on my face, so Bigg Boss asked and I said I stand by my decision because I am a man of principals and principally at that point of time what I felt was right, I might not do it again but I would stand by to what I did then.
