Actress Monica Bedi's journey on Bigg Boss was cut short with her eviction from the reality show Friday.

Monica, who was extradited along with gangster Abu Salem from Portugal in 2005 and lodged in jail in a fake passport case, participated on the show to "start life afresh".

After being voted out, Monica said, "I would like to thank God for keeping me in the house till at least three weeks and giving me a chance to come back after all what I have been through (in life)."

Monica told show host Shilpa Shetty, "I fear that my intention (to make a comeback) has not been fulfilled." "We were on camera for 24 hours, but out of that 40-45 minute footage was shown everyday, thus I fear that my intention not fulfilled."

Shilpa wished her, "I hope you see a different side to life now."

In one of the initial episodes of the show, that kick started on channel Colors on August 17, Monica had said: “I am here to change the image that the media has made in the public about me. I want them to know the real Monica. I am not as bad as people think I am. And I want to do it more for my parents more than for myself."

Monica has had a pleasant time on the show where she mixed up with the housemates well, helped everyone with the household chores and took active part in the weekly assignments.

On Monday's episode, five house members nominated Monica (for being evicted) along with Rahul Mahajan, son of late Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pramod Mahajan.

Though Rahul was noticed making romantic advances towards Monica on several occasions, Monica used to walk away to avoid “unnecessary speculation in the media”.

She has kept a low profile on the show except when item girl Sambhavana Seth irked her to argue on grounds of scheming against few house-members. She was also warned by “Bigg Boss” to avoid removing her mic while talking to other inmates.

Monica had entered the Bigg Boss house along with 13 other participants, mostly celebrities. The participants are to spend three months closeted in a house sans any communication with the outside world. The winner of the show gets to walk away with a cash prize of Rs.750,000.

Monica has acted in about a dozen films like Pyaar, Ishq Aur Mohabbat, Jaanam Samjha Karo, Kaala Samrajya, Tirchhi Topiwale and Jodi No. 1.

Doctors have told the former Big Brother star that she must have a hysterectomy and intensive chemotherapy, which will hopefully kill off her cervical cancer.

However, mum-of-two Jade will first have tests to see if it has spread - and if it has she may only have a 50 per cent chance of survival.

"They told me about the worst-case scenario - where I might not even survive 10 years. I'm all over the place. I can't stop crying," the Mirror quoted Goody, as telling a pal.

Jade was devastated by the latest warning, but is determined to fight on - and has vowed to adopt after she has beaten her cancer.

"It was even worse than I was expecting. But I know I have to get through this,” Jade told the pal.

"I have now had to give up any hope of having children, but I am already thinking about adopting," she added.

It was only the second episode of celebrity reality show Bigg Boss 2 and emotions are already running high. The only international participant, Jade Goody, has called it quits.

Day 1 of Bigg Boss 2 raised eyebrows with its diverse list of 14 particiapnts and day 2 raised concerns as international participant Jade Goody bid farewell to the show.

Jade's doctor broke the news to her that she was suffering from early stages of cervical cancer - a revelation that reduced Jade to tears.

The British national decided to part ways with the show, after she received some shocking news when she spoke to her doctor.

The 14 celebrity contestants have been living together for just 48 hours, but it clearly didn't take very long for them to come together in Jade's moment of adversity.

If the particiapnts concerns were anything to go by, then this time around, Jade has definitely left a better impression.
