Read on.
You are an acclaimed writer. Can you write your own script to do well in the Bigg Boss house? Your take.
No, I can’t. There is nothing that is scripted in the show. The show is all about yourself.
What are your thoughts as you prepare to enter the house?
My thoughts are, how will I look while taking the award.
What are your apprehensions when it comes to facing the challenges in the house?
There are normal challenges in the house; this is not like Khatron Ke Khiladi. I will have to face the house politics. I have never seen any saas bahu drama. I have heard a lot about it. I will try my best to become a pyaari ‘Bahu’ in the house.
This season will pose a fresh outlook in terms of tasks, designing the show and execution. What is your take, and what do you expect?
I have not seen any season except for Season 13 and a few episodes of the last season. But this political theme is interesting. I am from Bihar. Politics is in my blood. I have to stand in the election one day. So this exposure is nice.
What attribute of yours will favour you in the show? What are your weaknesses?
I will get to know about my weaknesses in the house, about what can trigger me. My strength lies in the way I am. I am blunt, I am vocal, and there is no filter in what I speak, which is very wrong. I understand it should not be there. God has given you a brain, and you should think and talk. But there is a heart, too, which tends to get emotional.
Is there any golden rule that you are setting for yourself in the house?
I am going to enjoy myself in the house. If someone ruins my enjoyment, I will make their life a living hell.
Why do you think viewers will like you in the house?
I am likeable and lovely. I am there in the city and industry to entertain. That is the reason why people will love me.
