Television star Urfi Javed has not taken her eviction from Bigg Boss OTT well.

The actress, who entered the realty show with a lot of enthusiasm and expectation, is shocked to have been voted out in the first week itself despite not being nominated.

She faced eviction after her partner Zeeshan Khan jettisoned her and chose Divya Agarwal as his new connection.

"Let me tell you very clearly what I am going to do once he comes out of the show. I will barge into his house and throw eggs on him," Urfi tells Rediff.Com Contributor Mohnish Singh.

Your stint on Bigg Boss OTT turned out to be quite short-lived. How are you processing that?

I am crying inconsolably ever since I came out of the (Bigg Boss) house. I am still processing it.

I am crying and this is how I am trying to cope with my eviction.

What else can I say now?

What went wrong with Zeeshan, your connection on the show?

It happened because of Zeeshan. There are no two ways about it.

See, the show is based on connections. Zeeshan was my connection but he chose Divya as his partner, putting me in the danger zone.

I contributed so much to the show in just one week. You cannot even imagine what all I could have done had my stint been a little longer.

We could have been a terrific duo, but he destroyed everything.

What can you do if your friend back-stabs you? Nothing.

If your friend does not support you, you cannot seek support from people who do not matter.

Do you think you would be able to pick up the pieces and revive your friendship with him after he comes out of the show?

Let me tell you very clearly what I am going to do once he comes out of the show.

I will barge into his house and throw eggs on him.

While I was leaving the show, he said, 'Urfi, you are being ungrateful.'

I was like, 'Moron, I am going out of the show. What do you want me to be grateful for?'

I wanted to slap him.

He should have saved me.

I would have been grateful to him forever if he had done so.

See, he is hungry for controversy.

He has not done anything worthwhile in his life.

Landing at the airport in a bathrobe and then calling the media to cover it is the kind of petty controversy he creates.

You have been voted out of the show despite not being nominated for eviction...

I feel terrible.

I did not get enough time and opportunity to display my talent and prove my worth.

I needed more time on the show. Alas, I did not get that.

I believe I could have done far better.

I was doing well anyway.

But you up your game when you get a hang of it. I did not reach that level.

Would you like to enter the show again as a wild card contestant?

Of course, I would love to seize that opportunity and put everybody in their place.

Earlier, I would just joke around with them saying I am Komolika.

But if I get to enter the show again, I will show them how nasty this Komolika can be.

Those nominated this week were Raqesh Bapat and Shamita Shetty. Do you think they got really lucky this time?

Yeah. They had their connections supporting them, so they got lucky.

Who do you think could be a 'lambi race ka ghoda' on the show?

Pratik and Nishant are the ones for the long haul.

Both are my friends.

They are good human beings, especially Pratik.

He is gem of a person. I wish he wins it.

Divya Agarwal and Shamita Shetty's friendship is also over now. Does the word 'friendship' hold any meaning inside the Bigg Boss house?

Divya is a very shewed and cunning girl.

If you cannot honour friendship, why would somebody else do it?

Friendship thrives on people, not the Bigg Boss house.

Divya backbites, speaks maliciously about people in their absence and then tries to be goody-goody with you.

She behaves like she has already participated in a dozen of reality shows and nobody stands a chance in front of her.

She thinks she is already the winner of the show.

How do you rate Karan Johar as the host of the show?

10 on 10.

When he scolded Divya, I wanted to go and kiss him.

He has another level of swag. He is awesome.

Are you going to still follow the season after your exit?

I will follow it in bits and parts. But it will be painful because I am no longer a part of the show.
