Aashka Goradia is the latest contestant to be eliminated from the Bigg Boss house.

Her image has changed since she went on the reality TV show two-and-a-half months ago -- from the vamp in television serials to being the cry baby on Bigg Boss.

Asked how it feels to be crowned the Crybaby of the Bigg Boss house, the actress says, "I am very happy to be known as a cry baby rather than being called rude. At least people won't be scared to talk to me."

She claims her experience on the show has been 'amazing,' especially her stint in the Padosi ghar.

This, despite the fast that she was harassed in the middle of the night by housemate Imam Siddique, and hit on by Santosh Shukla.

Is she aware that Santosh said a lot of things about her after his exit?

"He is like a roadside Romeo," she replied. "I just tried to be friends with him and he tried to take advantage. I think people have realised what kind of a person he is when he confessed he had 19 girlfriends outside the house.

"He tried his level best to gain attention by behaving cheap. Until it is cute and funny behaviour it is acceptable, but when it gets worse, it is not tolerable."

'I am disgusted with the way I was projected in the house'

Aashka says Santosh 'came on the show with an agenda' but couldn't succeed with it. And that's why he 'made so much noise.'

"People out there know why Santosh said such horrible things about me. I never want to meet him again outside the house."

She says she feels sorry for Imam. "He needs to realise that it is high time to bring some change in himself," she says.

Tell her that the excessive affection she showed Sana Khan raised many eyebrows, and she hits back: "I am disgusted with the way I was projected in the house. Sana is like my younger sister.

"I kissed her cheek and showed some love as she was crying in the house when she got an allergy. She started developing blood clots and I was just soothing her. I am really upset to know that caring or showing affection towards someone will be taken in this manner."

She continues, "I never thought that they will project me like this. I handed over the responsibility of depicting my image to someone else. My family is deeply hurt and I can't do anything because I am under contract."

'Delnaaz is my favourite contestant'

Aashka and Urvashi shared a love-hate relationship on the show.

"I didn't know her personally before the show. I met her on the show and became friends. I know there were a few misunderstandings between us, but now everything is sorted out and I hope we remain friends even after the show ends," Aashka explains.

Aashka's fun hairdos, eye makeup and her latest haircut from her co-contestant Sapna Bhavnani were famous in the house.

She has her favourites on the show. "I want Sana or Delnaaz Irani to win the show. Delnaaz is my favourite contestant. I know her very well from even before the show, so I know exactly how she is and I wish she wins. Even Urvashi has a good chance."

Aashka now wants to spend time with her family before resuming work.
