Mumbai: Reality TV star Manu Punjabi, who lost his mother last year, misses her especially during the festive season.

"My mom used to be very excited about festivals. She used to make 'bhog', take care of home, decorate it... Now that she is not with us, there was no excitement for Rakhi or Janmashtami or the coming festivals. They are kind of unusual without her," the former "Bigg Boss" contestant said is a statement.





Manu Punjabi lost his mother when he was in Bigg Boss 10 house. He went out on emergency exit and performed all the rituals. He came back in the show after few days and spent two days in the secret room.










Manu Punjabi was one of the strong contestants of Bigg Boss 10 and was in top 4 with Manveer Gurjar, Bani J and Lopamudra Raut.

He is now hosting MTV's "A Date to Remember" with Nitibha Kaul.
