In a super emotional chat with another contestant, the adorable Ashnoor Kaur, Nehal opened up about her childhood and her dad. It sounds like she had a really tough time. She said that her father, who is from a very traditional Gujarati family, wanted her to get married when she was, get this, only 18 years old! Can you even imagine? When I was 18, I was only thinking about what to wear to my friend's birthday party, not getting married!

Nehal, who is a famous fitness expert now, also talked about how she struggled with her weight when she was younger. She said she was, like, "overweight" and that people were super mean to her about it. Because of this, she decided she wanted to get super fit. But guess what? Her dad said no to her joining a gym!

So what did Nehal do? She started working out in a park instead, because she's a total rockstar and doesn't give up. But get this, when she was working out in the park, she faced some really scary stuff, like eve-teasing. It's only after that happened that her dad finally let her go to a proper gym. So he was basically okay with her risking her safety just to, like, prevent her from being in a public gym? I mean, that's just wild.

Nehal got really emotional talking about her little brother, too. She said he's the reason she is who she is today. When she was 17, she got a call for a pageant, her very first one, but she didn't have any money. Her brother, who was, like, a teenager himself, was doing some supervisor job for an exam and he was making only ₹100 a day. He saved up ₹400 and gave it to her so she could go to the pageant. He's such a sweet boy! What a star.

Anyway, Nehal said that her brother's support was just "insane" and that even though she only had two dresses to wear, she had all the strength she needed because of him. She ended her story by saying, "Hard work takes you places," and honestly, I was, like, totally inspired. She's a true fighter, you guys.

I can't wait to see what else Nehal reveals in the Bigg Boss house. She's already got a lot on her plate with her fights with that one guy, Awez, I think his name is? Or is it Abhishek? I always mix up those two. Either way, she's definitely a contestant to watch out for! She's got a big heart and she's not afraid to speak her mind, which is exactly what you need in the Bigg Boss house.
