Tellychakkar got in touch with the stunning model before she entered the highly anticipated season of Bigg Boss 16.

 You’ve had quite an exciting journey in the public eye. Why did you decide to do Bigg Boss?

I think more than me it was Bigg Boss who decided that it was time for me to be on this journey. The choice was definitely up to me and I just looked at my bank balance and the opportunity that I was getting and said yes.

This time around, Bigg Boss is coming with incredibly new twists. What are your expectations from the show?

I am going in with the thought of ‘Bring it on’! I am not really a short-tempered person, and mental health is equally very important. So, I’ll make sure that my mental health is balanced and good.

Have you watched the last seasons? And who has been your favorite contestant and why?

I have not really watched the complete season but Siddharth Shukla was a one of a kind player. There is no one like him. He was definitely one of the best.

 Are you going in with any strategy? 

No, there should never be any strategy if you want to do something big. If you are making plans and plotting things, it means that you don’t really have the belief in yourself that you can face the challenges head one.

The new season of Bigg Boss has started and airs on Colors, Mon- Friday at 10:30 PM and on weekends at 9 PM.
