/> Deepak Tijori is the only contestant on Sony's Bigg Boss who has been evicted without any bitterness in his attitude. "There were some lovely people in there," he says.

On the contrary the whole unreal experience has given Deepak a new creative impetus. "Being a filmmaker I was totally intrigued by the mind games being played in that house. I went there as a filmmaker and yes, I want to make a film based on my experiences.

I want to fashion a thriller out of my experiences at Bigg Boss. The experience plays on your mind. It's something I recommend to everyone. What viewers saw was the images created for the outside. What we go through in that house is quite another experience."

Deepak was called in after Salil Ankola was suddenly evicted. "I was supposed to start a film with Dino Morea and Jimmy Shergiil. It came as a sudden offer. I didn't know what to do. But two things convinced me. One was my curiosity as a filmmaker. The more important reason for my being there was my daughter.

She never watched any of my movies. Not even Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na although she's a diehard Shah Rukh fan. After she saw me in Ghulam and Khiladi my daughter couldn't bear to see me bloody. When this offer came to me my daughter wanted me to go on Big Boss. She likes the show.

She has been watching me and she's seen me doing things I've never done before, like jump in the pool. The boys got me into gyming. My new Year resolution is to lose several kgs, so I can get back to acting."

But Deepak was keen to be out of Bigg Boss. "I knew most of them at Bigg Boss. I did know Rahul Roy. And Kashmira Shah, Rakshi Sawant (she worked with me in Khamosh), Ravi Kissan and Rupali from before.

But I saw them in completely new avatars. It was quite a shocker for me. For the last two weeks I was desperate to come out. I wish I was out yesterday. It was my wife's birthday."

No one has a bad word to say about Deepak. "At first Aryan Vaid was upset with me. But as a filmmaker I taught all of them about camera placement and how to avoid being stared at by the camera lenses.

As a director I'm enriched by the experience. I'm totally equipped to make a a Bigg Boss film. I've already discussed it with the boys inside. I salute the guys who've brought Bigg Boss to this country.
