"(I once went to Bihar, especially for 4-5 days, but he called me that time and told me that you don't want to go to Colors, you don't want to do Bigg Boss, you went home. Come to Mumbai right away.

Taking the conversation ahead, Manisha Rani explained that the guy kept calling her to meet at different places, leaving her perplexed. The Bigg Boss OTT 2 fame added, "Ek baar 3 baje raat ko phone karke bolta hai ki aa jao mere ghar. Toh hum bole ki hum ghar toh nahi aayenge (Once at 3 o'clock in the night, he called and told me to come to his house. So, I said that I would not come to your house)."
