Initially, it was hard for me to tell. In India, we don't go through racist behaviour. All of us are Indian.

When I was in the House, a lot of things were happening. People, who followed the whole series, were irked by what they saw. These are British Asians who have been subjected to this kind of discrimination for years and this was the first time they saw someone they knew and liked standing up against the bullying and racial discrimination they experienced in their daily life. For me to be treated like that was very painful (for them) to see.

On reality TV, the viewers form a strange bonding with the participants. And it wasn't just the British Asians, it was also the British who were appalled. When I made a statement from there saying, 'Is this the new Britain?' the Britishers did not want Great Britain to be epitomised by those three girls in there (who bullied me).
