	"People there had come with a plan. It was uncomfortable for me to stay there because 14 strange people were thrown together and you cannot trust anyone because there are groups. Also, there was a class system as some people (I don't want to name them) would think they were special because they came from a film family.
	"But, I think everyone was equal there as we all were the part of same show. It is not like they were participating in Big Brother," Ratan told PTI in her post exit interview.
