'Rahul was the jaan of Bigg Boss'

Former Bigg Boss housemate Debojit Saha was shocked to hear about Rahul Mahajan's ouster from the Bigg Boss house.

"Rahul should have stayed till the finals," he says. "If he has been evicted, then it is every unfortunate because he is the jaan of Bigg Boss. He is a lively person and a big entertainer in the house."

Rahul was evicted because he did not apologise for his behaviour last week when the remaining four housemates -- including Raja Chaudhury, Zulfi Sayed and Ashutosh Kaushik -- tried to escape from the house. While the three apologised, Rahul refused.

Asked whether it was right to evict Rahul when the finale is just five days away, Debojit replied, "I can't comment on that. Living in the Bigg Boss house for 90 days is not a joke. Singing was a stress buster for me in the house. Saturday's incident could have been avoided, but this is bound to happen when there is lot of stress and frustration."

So who does he think will win Bigg Boss? "Zulfi Sayed. He played his cards very smartly right from the start," Debojit says.
