In an interview with The Times of India, Aarav said, “I didn’t expect things to get serious. She is a brilliant person. In fact, Oviya is nicer than a lot of other people in the house. She exudes positivity and is good-hearted. Sometimes, she would do things that irritated others and that’s why she was nominated week after week. But we would wonder how she was not getting evicted. Only when I came out, I realized the kind of a fan following she has. When the whole issue was going on, I wanted to just get out of the house. But if that had happened, I would have been the bad guy. So, I had to play the game and win it. I am thankful to God that I won it.”

On asking if he would do a movie with Oviya, he said, “I would love that, too. If that is what people want, why not? She is still a good friend and I will always wish her the best. She is already an established actor and it would be great working with her.”
