Of the nominated contestants -- Shilpa Shinde, Priyank Sharma, Luv Tyagi and Hiten -- the 43-year-old actor was evicted out from season 11 of the show.
"It (eviction) came as a shock to me. I deserved to be in the house as compared to some of them like Priyank and Luv. I think I was a threat to the other contestants. I feel people were waiting to chuck out the strong contestants. We are in the 12th week and the game will get dirty now.
On tonight's "Weekend Ka Vaar" episode, there was a twist in the eviction process as host Salman Khan asked nominated contestants Hiten and Priyank to enter a secret room and wait for the eviction.
The remaining contestants -- Vikas Gupta, Arshi Khan, Shilpa Shinde, Hina Khan, Aakash Dadlani, Luv Tyagi and Puneesh Sharma -- had to unanimously decide on who should be evicted.
"I did save her (Shilpa) once and I was not expecting her to return the favour. Competition is good, but one should compete with those of the same level. I don't have anything against anyone. The choice was given to the house mates and they chose me (for eviction)," Hiten said.
During his stay in the house, Hiten appeared dignified and stayed calm during tough situations. He was on good terms with all the other contestants.
He believes that unlike the other contestants, he was not yelling unnecessarily or picking up fights deliberately with anyone in the house, and this could also possibly be one of the reasons for his exit from the show.
The episode will be aired on Colors channel tonight.
