He parents claimed that she had lost direction and that everyone else on the show was playing the game while she was getting emotionally involved. They further claimed that she was being emotionally used in the show. “Everyone in the house is playing games, but you’re just hanging on to your emotions. You’re being used by others for their own purposes. You’re playing the same game we told you not to play. We’re the ones who are feeling 100 percent of the pain,” her mother says while crying.
The intervention by Neha Fathima’s parents comes after she confessed her love for her Hindu co-contestant Tashi Raj alias Santhosh. In a recent episode of the show, Neha Fathima was seen telling Tashi saying that she liked him and intended to take their relationship forward after the show with the consent of her parents.
The conversation between Neha and Tashi happened following a tiff between the two regarding Tashi’s alleged proximity to another female co-contestant. Neha Fathima reacted angrily after learning that Tashi was flirting with a co-contestant named Vedangi. After the incident, Tashi clarified to Neha Fathima that he had no feelings for Vedangi. In an earlier episode, Tashi had also confessed his love for Neha to another contestant.
