"Bigg Boss 8" contestant Pritam Singh's mother and wife may be upset with his decision to quit the show by taking ₹25 lakh at the grand finale, but viewers say it was 'wise' and 'perfect'.
The grand finale witnessed five contestants – Gautam Gulati, Karishma Tanna, Pritam Singh, Ali Quli and Dimpy Mahajan – as finalists in the show. After Ali and Dimpy were evicted, the remaining three were called on stage and were sent to a secret room after three rounds of tests.
Gautam, Karishma and Pritam were standing before buzzers in the room. Then, the host of the show, Farah Khan told them that they have an offer: a briefcase consisting ₹25 lakh. Anyone who was not confident of winning the title was free to accept the money and quit the show by hitting the buzzer.
While Gautam and Karishma looked baffled at the offer, Pritam Singh made a quick decision, without having a second thought and told other contestants that he would prefer to call it quits. The other two contestants, who seemed to be confused, tried to convince him not to do so.
Pritam's wife and mother were also annoyed with his decision and made an attempt to convince him to change his decision. But since they were outside the secret room, their advice went unheeded. Finally, he hit the buzzer and walked away with ₹25 lakh.
When he came out of the room, his wife hurled anger against him. She said she did not love money and she wanted him to be in the final race. She added his decision upset her. He tried to defend his decision before his wife and mother, but was unable to do so.
Later, Rajat Sharma, who was one of the chief guests for the grand finale, congratulated him and said he made the right decision because he was not the winner of the show "Bigg Boss 8". Pritam was happy and tried to tell his mother and wife that he was indeed right.
Many viewers felt that Pritam made the right decision by accepting the cash offer. Here are some of their comments on Twitter, in which they called him 'smart' and termed his decision 'wise' and 'perfect'.
