Paras Chhabra on his connection with Sidharth Shukla
Paras revealed that he wasn't friends with Shukla at the beginning of the show but as time passed, they connected over spirituality. He said, "We would sit till late night and early mornings and talk about Mahadev and other spiritual stuff and that's how we connected. This couldn't be shown on Television as they can't show much of religious or political conversations. That's why people often feel that they don't know how Shukla and I connected."
Paras spoke about being emotional when Sidharth saved him in one of the tasks. He stated that with Shukla's gesture, he was sure that he earned his love and connection and that what he felt was reciprocated by him as well.
Paras Chhabra on knowing that Sidharth Shukla would win the show
Paras revealed that he had an intuition that Sidharth would win the show and thus it'd be better for him to opt for the money in the suitcase and leave. He said that he had a dream and was sure that Shukla would win. He said, "When I opted for the money in the suitcase and while I was leaving, I said bye to everyone but I said congratulations to Sidharth as I knew that he would lift the trophy."
He mentioned that he felt he made a great decision by opting for 10 Lakh rupees in the suitcase and walking out of the show because he knew that nobody would care for the person who came second. He said, "According to me, I came second in the show because I got 10 lakh from the winner's prize money. The person who came second, Asim, didn't get anything. I remember telling this in one of the interviews and his fans got angry but if you see, it is the fact."
Paras Chhabra on bond with other contestants from Bigg Boss 13
Paras mentioned that he likes to meet anyone and everyone from the show and shares a nice bond with almost everyone. He said, "Koi bhi saamne aajaye meko koi issue nahi hai milne mey." (Whoever I'd come across, I have no issues in meeting them). He stated that he met a few of them like Arti Singh and Hindustani Bhau. He was all praises for Hindustani Bhau and stated that he is 'bhau' in the literal sense.
Paras also spoke about his relationship with Mahira Sharma. He mentioned dating her and mutually parting ways based on compatibility issues. He stated that he would always remember and cherish the good times spent with her.
