Pooja Bedi is elated to have exited the Bigg Boss 5 House, weeks ahead of the finale. The actor admits she had wanted to leave this week and had made it clear during her stay that she would like to be with her daughter Aaliyah on her birthday.

If I didn’t exit due to the vote count, I would have probably left the show on my own because as a single parent, I have my priorities right. Money, work and publicity will come and go, not my child’s birthday. I had no business to give it a miss,” beams Pooja, who met her daughter minutes after moving out. “That smile and hug from her just made me happy.” Pooja, who had been playing a peacemaker inside the house, feels there are several contestants who fight or participate in fights for the sake of visibility.

“There are power domains. Depending on who exits, the domains change. Without taking names, I can tell you that despite pranayam and meditation, people get into fights at the snap of a finger,” she says, adding, “During my last few days, I didn’t try resolving issues. I watched everything silently. Now, I don’t know who will be the new peacemaker.” And who does she think would win? “Between Juhi Parmar and Sky, anyone could be the winner.”
