Sumbul was nominated for eviction along with MC Stan and Shiv Thakare. Close friends Shiv, MC Stan and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia bid an emotional farewell to Sumbul after the announcement of her eviction.

Talking with India Today, Sumbul said she was very hurt when she was accused of being obsessed with Shalin. “Wo jo bhi cheesein boli gayi thin, obsession (all those things that were said at the time)… After that, I was very hurt. I have always given one thousand percent in every friendship. Aur, wo mai kabhi isliye nahi karti ki mujhe badle me kuch milega. Meri dosti meri nazar mein bahut selfless hoti hai (I never do that in the hope of getting something in return, my friendships are very selfless in my view). I love doing that – even if I cook food for them, even if I iron their clothes – anything. Usase mujhe khushi milti hai (I find happiness with those things).”

She added, “Us dosti ko jo itna galat naam mila (That friendship was wrongly labeled). I was very hurt, and I was also thinking of my father at the same time. I am feeling it, and how must he be feeling? I was thinking ‘wo jab ye dekhenge unki kya halat hogi (what will he feel when he watches all this)’. I was more scared about him. I was lost, I do not even remember what I felt then. I did not even know I was crying and saying ‘mujhe ghar jana hai (I just want to go home)’…because I was mainly worried about him.”

Soon after her eviction, Sumbul had said in a press statement, “I have come a long way and have had both good and bad times in the house of Bigg Boss. I’ve changed drastically in the last four months. I learnt so many things which have shaped my personality. I was naïve and not very expressive at the beginning of my stint on the show. I found out that my emotional quotient is my strength.”

She added, “I’ve made beautiful friendships which will always have a special place in my heart. My biggest support system in the house was my dear mandali. My exit from the house is a new beginning for me and as I look back, I wish all the housemates best of luck. I thank COLORS for giving me this wonderful opportunity and a life-changing experience. I will always be grateful!”
