Just the day before, Bobby Darling had the time of her life. She went through a mock-marriage with Aryan Vaid on the sets of Bigg Boss which had Bobby in the throes of ecstacy.

And though earlier some other contestants like Ravi Kissan hinted broadly at how Bobby's gender-threatened presence was causing some discomfort, there was a general sense of dis- belief when Bobby was voted out and asked to leave Bigg Boss on Friday.

In fact just hours earlier Ravi read Bobby's plan and prophesied that she'd finally be reconciled with her estranged father.

Rupali Ganguly, easily the most emotional of the bunch, howled in grief when Bobby's eviction was announced. Carol Gracias and Anupama Verma also wept openly.

But Bobby remained surprisingly calm after the announcement. She quietly walked up to the pooja enclave and communicated with Lord Ganapati and began to pack her bags.

Commented a Sony source, "Bobby showed amazing restraint. Considering she had made it clear that this was her big chance to get the money for her sex operation, Bobby handled her elimination with great maturity. All the others were very unhappy to see her go."
