Pooja Missra gets saved every week as she's playing game well'

Rajul Hegde in Mumbai

Transgender social activist Laxmi Narayan Tripathi is the latest housemate to be evicted from Bigg Boss 5.

She was nominated for eviction along with Pooja Missra, Mahek Chahal and Akashdeep Saigal.

Laxmi, who has been actively advocating the cause of transgenders for 12 years now, had her first brush with reality TV in Dus Ka Dum, followed by the controversial Sach Ka Saamna two years ago.

She has come across as, by far, the strongest personality amongst the housemates. She has been exciting, emotional, helpful and entertaining, and she made some good friends in the house, she says in this interview with Rajul Hegde.

Did the eviction bother you?

No. I was nominated for the first time and I knew that I would be evicted.

I am not as well known as the other housemates, so that was expected. I am glad that I left the house with dignity and self-respect.
