Being a part of Bigg Boss OTT, things that make you ‘over the top’

My dancing, my energy and my masti. I think everything about me is over the top. I can tell you 10 things that are over the top… my anger, my way of talking, my friendship, enmity, everything is over the top. Pic: Instagram

After Ace of Space how are you feeling to get locked up in Bigg Boss OTT house?

I am feeling fine. I don’t have any pressure or nervousness. Bigg Boss house is much more open space than ‘Ace of Space’. I will obviously get more space to breathe. I am excited to go inside Bigg Boss house. You have to cook your own food and do everything else on your own. I am a fabulous cook. Main sardarni hu. Bada achha khana banati hu. That’s one interesting thing, you guys will get to see. I am excited and nothing can stop me. I am excited to go inside the house. Pic: Instagram

Any mental preparation you have taken before going inside the house?

Actually, no. I am in a very good mental space right now. Touchwood. Last year has been a very tough one, you know it very well. This year, career-wise, personal life-wise, everything is sorted mentally. I am going in the game just for the game and not to prove anything. It is not even a career back-up plan, that usually people have. This is not a re-launch. This is only going to go ahead. Pic: Instagram

Being under Karan Johar’s eyes

In 2011, I first saw Karan Johar. I was the background artist on his film ‘Student of the Year’. That was the first time I saw Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Siddharth Malhotra. Seeing them I felt, inki toh nikal padi. They are all going to be big stars in no time. I felt when will that moment come for me. It has been a decade-long struggle for me now. The stars are aligned and I feel it’s my time now. I have music videos and web show coming up. I am overwhelmed. Ekta Kapoor, Karan Johar and then Salman Khan – take all the names you want. I am very happy. Pic: Instagram

So you are hopeful to now achieve Bollywood dreams?

Kya pata what will happen. I genuinely feel whatever the project is … no matter big or small, you should feel it from within. I don’t think that while working in that project you have second thoughts about taking it up. And I think before taking up any project. It would be fun if I get approached. If things work out well, then why not! Pic: Instagram

About past flings being out in the open

You are talking about Priyank (Sharma)? I am very comfortable with him now. We have sorted out things between us. We are very good friends now. Varun, Priyank and I talk and we also respect each other’s work. Whatever happened in the past, was bachpana (childish). It was confusion and we were all very new and young. We had no idea how to tackle media, camera or ourselves. We have learnt a lot. I have also take a few game advice and tips from him (Priyank). He helped me. So things are nice. There’s no stress. My life is an open book. Jo ukhadna hai ukhad lo. Pic: Instagram

Making major fashion statements in the house

I have kept some great stylists for my looks in the show. They are going to experiment on my looks. I have lost a lot of weight too and now fitting in ‘S’ size clothes. I am very happy. It’s going to be very floral, flowy, chic and bohemian style of dressing. People will like it. Thankfully, I won’t have to buy new clothes this year. Pic: Instagram

Things she will miss the most while being inside the house

I will miss being with my mother, my brother and Varun – all three of them. They are very close to my heart. I am also going to miss my friends but they are very supportive and chill about it. There might be too many incidents that might get too much on them when I am inside the house. It may be for my game or my father’s death anniversary. I am afraid how they will handle it alone. It’s also Dollar’s (their pet dog) first anniversary, I don’t know how they are going to hold up. I don’t know if I will be alone in the house or get to make friends. I am just worried about that part. Pic: Instagram

Message for fans

Hello fans, I am going inside the house and everything is going nice personally and professionally. All I need from you guys is love and support. You guys have already been giving me so much. This is the time to get on the field and work on it. More than votes keep blessing me. That’s more important in life. Pic: Instagram
