MUMBAI: The new season of the popular as well as controversial show Bigg Boss has finally kick-started. Season 14 also features the much-loved couple Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla. But do you know why the television couple has finally agreed to be a part of Bigg Boss? Read on.
In an interview with a leading daily, the couple has revealed why they gave their nod to Bigg Boss 14. Rubina told ETimes TV, “Till date we were being approached as solo individuals. And if I talk about myself, my personality doesn’t fit the bill in the Bigg Boss criteria. And I have always said that there would be no drama, no controversy from my side, it will be a little unjust for me in the house and be in a corner and do nothing about it. Then they approached us as a couple where the whole dimension just changed. Now it’s going to be interesting because we are two different personalities.”
The actress, who is known for soaps like Chotti Bahu and Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, added, “Over a period of time, in our relationship we have discovered so many interesting things about each other. I think Bigg Boss provides us that platform and opportunity where we can as today’s modern contemporary couple we can be relatable with audiences and couples of our generation. It has a relatable factor. And also, as a public figure we have that responsibility on our shoulder where we may or may not excel at but the journey is going to be interesting.”
Sharing his reason, Abhinav said, “I am excited to be one of so many people, who have many quirks in them. Some are going to be funny too, which they don’t know of yet. And I am excited thinking that how I will be part of that argument or a big fight and how I will try to solve it. And also, getting locked in the house with no contact with the outside world is another excitement. With restricted grocery and everything, it is going to test my patience and skills as well.”
Speaking about their strategy to be in the game, the Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka and Diya Aur Baati Hum actor revealed, “The strategy would be to be ourselves. Bigg Boss is very smart. All strategies will go out of the window on the second or the third day. I also told Rubina, ‘Let’s be ourselves. Let us see if people like us or not’.
The actress agreed with her husband and added, “He is absolutely right. Till today, we haven’t even spoken about the game. We are not ashamed of ourselves. As an individual, one thing is very deep-rooted enough is our secured individuality. We have our flaws and mistakes, we are human beings and we accept each other the way we are.”
