I seen to Pooja Jee, She is really best and deserving to be winner of Big Boss season 5 .I became fan of her when i saw her in that show.I wish her for her success in this show for top position. I will pray to God for her win . God will make her great actress its my wishes for her.
I want Pooja to win. And I would also like to tell that you used to be my first crush when I saw you in the movie “Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander”. Love you Pooja.
Very cunning lady ..she is trying to present herself as very well behaved but her behaviour in Maa xchange was awful
Pujaji, you r good.very matured,kind and mindful lady.You have a very kind heart, have a very positive attitude,understand the siuation and always give your support who are hurt and sad.I like that.You should stay till end with Juhi, Sonali,Rageshwori and Vida.But for Vida,she has an advantage that she speaks very less hindi, despite of looking good and being positive.
u seems to be like a PANIPAT JANG KI AKHRI NASHANI….secondly u r a HITLER”S HALA………..
hyyyyyy poja beadi i lv u ur soft temper bt dont get angry wd that stupit girl sharda she is nt of ur type
The most cunning and hypocrite contestant in the home.Surely, she will reach the final because she knows how to use the people and make her way.
I don’t like you at all. You are most cunning lady , you are troubling Pooja Misra .You should improve yourself and don’t try to be over friendly with Akashdeep( sky boo)
Bye bye…..
U was one of the worst house mate…..
