Shiv Thakare, former winner of `Marathi Bigg Boss` is competing on Salman Khan`s `Bigg Boss 16!` The reality show star caught up with mid-day.com, just before entering the house and got into a candid chat! Read on to know more.
What was your reaction when you were finalised for Bigg Boss 16?
I was waiting for this opportunity as I had kept a `mannat` with Siddhivinayak. When I got the final call I went walking from Malad to Siddhivinayak to say thank you to Bappa. This is a big turn in my life and my mother lit a diya, like she does for every reality show that I participate in. She will light the diya daily for four months, till the finale of the show.
Having won `Marathi Bigg Boss` what are your expectations this time around?
I`m treating this as a new show and I`m going to enjoy myself with `paisa vasool` entertainment.
The show usually features TV actors with a big fan following…
The best thing about Bigg Boss is that even if you are a big star you are at par with other contestants, while someone who starts from zero may become a hero in one-two weeks. I believe people across India will get to know Shiv Thakre in 10 days and the known people will get voted out.
Your thoughts about host Salman Khan?
I am a fan of bhai, I built my physique because of him and I`ve danced to `Tan Tana Tan Tan Tan Tara.` Now I`ll meet him face to face, I`m super excited unke saath utna-baithna hoga.
How do you plan to show your personality…
People know I`m Maharashtrian just by spending 10 minutes with me. I have always enjoyed life be it flirting with girls in college or getting into radas (fights.) If I recall all those incidents four months will fall short. I will do the same in Bigg Boss and maybe people will like me!
Are you prepared for the controversies and love stories in the house?
I`m not scared of anything I will handle things positively.
What will you miss most?
I`m not going to miss anyone be it aai (mother) or my niece because eventually I will return to them, the next four months are only about Bigg Boss.
