Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam, who is a surprise participant in the "Bigg Boss" reality show along with controversial starlet Monica Bedi and others, Wednesday declared he would help the actor in purchasing a house in Mumbai.

"When we get out of this show, I will get you a house in Lokhandwala where all the Bollywood people stay or anywhere else you want, " Nirupam stated during the episode aired Wednesday night.

He vowed to do so when gangster Abu Salem's companion Monica spoke about her dire need for money to buy a house in India's financial capital. She also shared her ordeal in dealing with people in Mumbai, who are wary of her due to her proximity with Salem.

She said: "The prize is very important. It holds a lot of meaning for me. People think Monica Bedi has a lot of money. But it is not so. I need this money to buy a home. Nobody gives me a house on rent also because people are scared of me.

"I am here to change the image that the media has made in the public about me. I want them to know the real Monica. I am not as bad as people think I am. And I want to do it more for my parents more than for myself, " Monica added.

The actor burst into tears and added: "I am grateful to 'Bigg Boss' for letting me be on this show, through which I can reveal my real self."

Nirupam and Monica, along with 11 others, are competing for the Rs.750, 000 the winner will receive after spending three months closeted in a house sans any communication with the outside world.
