Mumbai, August 12 (NationPress) Actress Anita Hassnandani, currently competing in the reality show "Choriya Chaali Gaaon," showcased her loyalty by standing up for her absent friend, stating, 'I’ll fight for my friend'.

The latest episode was rife with surprises as Erika Packard opted to eliminate her closest ally, Aishwarya Khare.

This shocking decision left everyone in disbelief, particularly Anita, who recalled that just two episodes prior, Erika had referred to Aishwarya as “everything” to her.

It's worth noting that Aishwarya was not present when Erika made her announcement. In a show of solidarity, Anita declared: “I’ll fight for my friend.”

Anita felt that had Aishwarya been there, she would have defended herself, so Anita chose to advocate for her.

Not only did Anita speak out, but host Rannvijay Singha also expressed his support for Aishwarya.

Reflecting on her situation, Aishwarya commented, "This place tests you in every way."

For those who may have missed the episode, Aishwarya had nominated Erika during the voting round to become the Maalkin of Basera.

“I believed we had each other’s backs, or so I thought. It was part of the game; I never envisioned it would lead to this,” Aishwarya reflected.

However, when Erika gained the authority to nominate, she chose Aishwarya.

“When she announced my name, it wasn’t merely a game change—it altered our friendship. She had the power, and she selected me. That speaks volumes,” she shared.

In defense of her choice, Erika insisted it was “purely strategic” and “necessary for progress in the game.”

Despite this, Aishwarya found the decision painful, stating, “It may be strategy,” she revealed.

"This place tests you in every way. Sometimes, the most challenging battles are not with your opponents but with those you believed were on your side,” Aishwarya articulated.
