The actress talks about her strategy for the reality show and much more. Read on…

Neha Maheshwri Bhagat (BOMBAY TIMES; November 2, 2012)

 

What will you bring to Colors’ Bigg Boss 6?
I have a lot to offer compared to the other contestants. I feel that they are holding themselves back, probably because they fear the cameras. I would be myself on the show.

Do you think you have been signed on because of the recent controversies?
(She was caught kissing a South African woman in a swimming pool. She also admitted to being a lesbian, only to deny it later) Not at all. I have been chosen, because I am lively and positive. Also, I am not lesbian. A journalist kept asking me if I am a lesbian and just to shut her up, I said, yes I am. In fact, I don’t like girls and can never be friends with them. Even my best friends used to end our friendship fearing that I would snatch their boyfriends, which is crazy. Girls are insecure.

What do you have to say about the Sapna Bhavnani-Salman Khan controversy?
I feel that Sapna is highly badatameez. You can’t talk rudely to the host of the show. Salman even requested her to lower her tone, but she didn’t.

Can we expect a lot of catfights… we already know who you loathe (Sapna Bhavnani)?
I am not going to create tiffs. I am the most non-violent person. Having said that, I am not someone who would take s**t lying down. If you are good to me, I will be nice with you, but if you are mean, you will be ignored.

Is there anything specific you plan to carry inside the house?
Apart from clothes and other essentials, I have packed a lot of moisturisers and body lotions. I like to smell good all the time. I want to look presentable.

Carrying any swimsuits into the house?
Just one.

Plan to use it or lounge by the poolside?
Only if I am in a good mood or if I get into a swim fight with Sapna. I would drown her in the pool, but then, the problem is that I won’t be able to catch her by her hair.

Where were you all this while?
I was living life differently. Also, my professional life wasn’t too happening. My brother and I were working very hard on our second project, but things didn’t go the way we expected. I wouldn’t lie by saying that I am reading scripts. The truth is that there is no work.

Are you single?
Yes, I have been single for many years now. There is no dearth of good men in this world, but the problem is, half of them are either gay or married.

I want to be in Salman’s good books-Mink Brar

Mink Brar on her impending entry into the Bigg Boss house and wanting to work with Sallu in the near future

Sonali Joshi Pitale (MID-DAY; November 2, 2012)

 

Famously known as late actor Dev Anand’s find, startlet Mink Brar is all set to enter the Bigg Boss house this week. The actress, who is generally known for her brazen attitude, promises to spill some beans on the ongoing house affairs and even states that she has absolutely “ no competition” from anyone inside the house. The bindaas Punjabi kudi says…

Will you enter the house with a big bang?
I don’t know about the others but I really want to tell Navjot Singh Sidhu not to have an opinion about everything. I was shocked to see some of his reactions on certain matters, especially because he has been in politics.

Are you looking to revive your career through the show?
I have never left the industry but yes, I want to get in touch with people again. I want to show my real side to everyone. I want to win the money, get work but I will not expose myself for that. I intend to make the atmosphere as light as possible!

Do you know Salman personally?
I have never worked with him though I did meet him casually a couple of times. However like many others, I too want to be in his good books. I hope to work with him in the future. As of now I do not know him personally but I am really looking forward to meeting him.

Are you looking for love on the show?
Well, I have been single for a long time now and do not mind mingling. But these things are unpredictable and there are hardly any good-looking blokes apart from Niketan Madhok! A leaked video last year of you kissing another girl created buzz… Actually, we were playing a truth and dare game with some guys. It was just a harmless thing. I thought it was fine to do. I want to clarify that I am straight. The fact is that I cannot gel very well with girls. Instead, I have many male friends.
