New Delhi: Commoner Akanksha Sharma , the latest contestant to be eliminated from the controversial reality show "Bigg Boss", says she feels lucky to have found friends in the house.


The Gurugram resident, who is the ex-wife of cricketer Yuvraj Singh's younger brother Zorawar, entered the house with a determination to prove herself and give competition to the celebrities.

"They say that if you ask for something from the bottom of your heart, the wildest of your dreams can come true. I feel blessed that I got the opportunity to share the stage with a legend like Salman sir; a surreal feeling," Akanksha said in a statement.

"I feel lucky enough to have found many friends inside the house. Life is all about these magical moments and I will forever hold these close to my heart," she said.

Her former mom-in-law Shabnam Singh had alleged that she was into substance abuse ,to which she told entertainment portal www.bollywoodlife.com: "As far as substance abuse goes, it was there in their family too. Whatever I did was with them. I smoked pot with my husband. Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) also told me he smoked pot. It is a very common thing in the industry. My mother-in-law now needs to say something to justify herself."
With a calm and composed mind, Akanksha performed various challenges and mostly remained unaffected by the intense atmosphere in the house.
In the 10th edition of the reality show, aired on Colors channel, celebrities and commoners are locked inside the house and attempt various tasks to win the show.
