There are so many people who watch Big Boss, so I want to know why they see it. I want to
know what is that attracts people so much to the platform.
And if everyone else is benefitting from it, why shouldn’t I?
I definitely am going to stand my ground. I am not somebody who gets bullied very easily or
allows bullying very easily. So that’s something definitely will not tolerate
Those people, especially those who say thing without being arrogant definitely stern but not
ill behaved, I think I like those people. For example, like Rubina you know.
Whatever little I saw of her
Hi Neha, welcome to Pinkvilla.
Hi Avinash, thank you so much.
Why Big Boss OTT at this stage of your career? What prompted you to take up this show?
I don’t know man. You tell me
I ask myself this question every day, once. But let’s just say leap of faith that, they have been
asking me for a few years and that kind of prompts you to kind of think about it, at least once.
Starting with of course this last two years being the way they have been with Covid and
lockdown and all of that, it has surely given me some time to at least contemplate that maybe
I could think about doing it. So, when I took the meeting and I spoke to the team.
I like the team, first let’s just put it that way. When you like the makers and the way they
pitch something to you, it gets you thinking. Once it gets you thinking it’s a dangerous
ground, then there is a chance you might say yes. So yeah, I think just having the time,
hoping I can connect with the larger audience of India. There are so many people who watch
Big Boss, so I want to know why they see it. I want to know what is that attracts people so
much to the platform. And if everyone else is benefitting
from it, why shouldn’t I? I just feel, why not?
And you know Big Boss is also a show which is known to be controversial and you know
you don’t have that personality which you know we co-relate to controversies. We have never
really heard something around you.
How are you going to manage all the attention that going to come your way from Sunday?
See, I am hoping if I haven’t done anything so far in my career that I’d be able to at least
hopefully maintain that to you know some extent to whatever extent I can. Having said that, I
have no idea what’s going to happen inside. I am also going to surprise myself. I definitely
am going to stand my ground. I am not somebody who gets bullied very easily or allows
bullying very easily. So that’s something definitely will not tolerate but other than that, I am,
you know, honestly, I am going to focus on my fans and my followers and you know have
fun and also let them see the real me like, you know how I am at home. I maybe little dressed
up all the time but I will still be doing all the house work so I think it will be fun. I think I
would have love to watch my favourite celebrities. For example, you know in Big Boss and
see how they fare so I am hoping I can just do that.
Sure. Is there any contestant from the past season that you have seen and you think you
would like to follow the strategy that he or she followed that might help you on your journey?
You know honestly, I haven’t really, really followed Big Boss but I have seen a few clips
online and, but not naming anyone particular person but I feel those people, especially those
who say thing without being arrogant definitely stern but not ill behaved, I think I like those
people. For example, like Rubina you know. Whatever little I saw of her. I am not saying
that’s my strategy but I feel like I am a bit like that as well so hopefully I can take some
inspiration from that and maintain saying your thing respectfully.
Sure. You liked Rubina’s dignified nature on the show, how she
I did, yeah. I mean I am sure it’s very difficult circumstances to
maintain that so of course that is praise worthy.
Sure. From an entertainment perspective, what should audience expect from Neha Bhasin on this show?
A lot of emotions and drama, for sure. Not necessarily with somebody else but even with me
like every hour I have a new mood and like my brother says, you feel too much. You have
too many emotions. So, I think definitely you will get to see that and singing and fashion and
yeah, I am talkative so
Wow. From a music perspective, I am sure at least there must be a contestant that you were
there to entertain them if they get bored.
I hope that they like it because somebody was telling me that sometimes they get irritable
with somebody singing but by far in my life I have never met anybody who has been irritable
with my singing. Like not even a single person.
So, I am hoping that remains the same inside the house.
Lovely. And how are you, are you excited to collaborate with Karan Johar on this show?
Because he is hosting Big Boss for the first time and he is a natural in front of TV. He is
really an entertainer.
I think he is perfect for OTT, like calling it over the top so there is nobody who can be better
than Karan Johar like I just hope he is nice to me.
It will be fun to see what he brings to the show as well.
Lovely but I wish whenever you come out, you come out with a trophy in your hand. So, all
the best for Big Boss and wish you all the luck for this journey.
Thank you so much Avinash.
