Archana Gautam Calls Priyanka Chahar Choudhary 'Real Naagin', Says She'll End Up Friendless

Former 'Bigg Boss 16' contestant Archana Gautam has taken a sharp dig at Priyanka Chahar Choudhary amid the latter's stint on 'Rise and Fall 2'. Reacting to clips from the reality show, Archana agreed with Karan Patel's criticism of Priyanka's friendships and claimed that the actress would eventually be left alone.

Archana Recalls Their ‘Bigg Boss 16' Bond:

Archana and Priyanka shared a close yet often turbulent friendship during their time on 'Bigg Boss 16'. Speaking about those days, Archana alleged that Priyanka struggled to maintain relationships inside the house.

According to Archana, when she stopped speaking to Priyanka, the actress was not getting along with other contestants either. Recalling an incident, Archana said, "Bigg Boss ne mujhe confession room mein bulaya aur mujhse kaha, 'Archana, tum mujhse baat kyun nahi kar rahi ho? Tumhe pata hai, tumhari bahut achhi chal rahi hai dosti.'"

She further claimed that after stepping out of the show, she realised Priyanka's game was not doing well at the time. Archana alleged that resuming her friendship with Priyanka helped improve the actress' standing in the game.

Salman Khan's Reaction:

Archana also looked back at one of the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes and recalled being reprimanded by Salman Khan. Sharing the incident, she said, "Salman sir ne kya fatkaar lagayi thi ki main tum jaisi ladkiyon se toh baat tak nahi karta hoon."

She added that Priyanka later received praise on the show, though she did not know what led to the sudden shift in perception.

Claims About Popularity And Friendships:

Taking her criticism further, Archana suggested that several contestants benefited from their association with her. She said, "Wahan par jitne bhi dost the, matlab mere madhyam se aage badh rahe the, kyunki unki khud ki koi TRP nahi thi. Aur is show mein bhi aise hi ho raha hai."

Archana also questioned the authenticity of friendships formed on reality shows. While acknowledging that she shares cordial relations with many people in the industry, including Priyanka, she insisted that real friendships are tested after the show ends.

Giving an example, she spoke about her equation with Shiv Thakare and said, "Main aur Shiv, hum dost nahi the. Aaj hum bahar nikalne ke baad sabse achhe dost hain."

‘Real Naagin' Remark:

Towards the end, Archana made some strong remarks about Priyanka and echoed Karan Patel's views. Referring to the actress as a "real naagin", she said, "Woh apne aap ko bhi kha gayi, apne doston ko bhi kha gayi aur sach mein yeh last mein akeli rahegi."

She concluded by saying, "Jo main bolna chahti thi na, woh Karan bhai ne bol diya. Sahi mein yaar, sach mein yeh real naagin hi hai. Yeh naagin dasti hai, yeh apnon ko hi dasti hai."
