Even after being pipped by Vindoo Dara Singh, the yesteryear Bollywood star says she has no regrets.

Had she won, actress Poonam Dhillon would have become the first woman to win the Bigg Boss show.

However, even after being pipped by Vindoo Dara Singh, the yesteryear Bollywood star says she has no regrets because she participated in the show to connect to a younger audience, and the target has been achieved.

"According to me, though all the three participants were good, only one could win," Poonam said after being declared the second runner-up of the show.

While Vindoo won the show, former Mr India Pravesh Rana was declared the first runner-up.

"My children and their generation are oblivious to the stardom I have enjoyed in my heydays. I participated in Bigg Boss so that the younger generation comes to know about me and respect me," Poonam told reporters here today adding that her purpose has been achieved after staying in the house for 84 long days.

On the experience as a whole, the Noorie star said, "Initially I missed my computer for a few days. But later on, I learnt to live sans all the communication gadgets we are so used to nowadays. I also missed reading as I am a voracious reader. I think I compensated the absence of books by spending all the time I had in kitchen," she said.
