Writer (and probably the most hated contestant) Siddhartha Dey fell prey to the mid-week evictions of Bigg Boss 13. Alongside Siddhartha, Mahira Sharma and Arti Singh were also in the running for getting eliminated.

Siddhartha who was one of the first writers of the first season of Bigg Boss entered as a contestant this year. It can be recalled that during his premiere entry, Siddhartha had said that his only motto of entering the show was to represent writers, who are always behind the curtains and help celebrities becomes the stars they are today, however, if you ask us, Siddhartha Dey did a very crappy job of it. Exclusive: Bigg Boss 13: Evicted Contestant, Siddhartha Dey Has Something ‘Desperate’ to Say on His Bond With Shefali Bagga

After his friendship with Paras and Shehnaaz kinda dwindled after the initial few episodes, Siddhartha found a close friend in Shefali Bagga and also Paras' team. And while Siddhartha was known to have a calm demeanour, the audience got to see his worst side during tasks where he not only got physical but also crossed the line for using foul language, which even got him into trouble with host Salman Khan.

Commenting on his exit, Siddhartha said, "My four-week journey in the house was the best experience I have ever had. This house has its own magic and it helps you understand the best and worst part of yourself and the world. I have seen both in this house, the best was when I made new connections and met people from different backgrounds, I also saw my strength when I didn't give up on the hand holding task and chilly eating task. These tasks and the situations in the house also instigate one to do and say things which are beyond their morals. But overall it was a great experience being a part of Bigg Boss."

However, Siddhartha went on to reveal to Bombay Times that he 'wanted to get evicted and was praying throughout for it,' because of the environment in the house.

He also told the daily, "Throughout my stay, I didn’t abuse any woman. However, I lost my cool in the last two tasks, as I was cornered by them. I sustained a serious injury during a task, and it has now turned into an infection. Arti is like a sister and I had no issues with her, but she joined a group that influenced her wrongly. I overheard their plan to torture me during a task and since I was expecting them to cross every limit, I said what I did. It cannot be justified, but I had no option left to dissuade them. I apologised profusely to her, even touched her feet and didn’t eat at night. Life mein bahut log gender use karte hain. I regret saying some things I said inside the house."

According to Siddhartha, he Shefali and Paras are real players who are not faking it in the show and blames Sidharth Shukla and Asim Riaz for plotting and spoiling the game.
