Sunday saw three new housemates – Kavita Kaushik, Naina Singh and Shardul Pandit – entering Bigg Boss 14. The trio interacted with Salman Khan on the stage, and gave a glimpse of what one can expect from them on the show.

FIR fame Kavita said she has been a fan of Bigg Boss and promised to add some entertainment to the otherwise “boring” season. In an exclusive chat with reporters, the actor opened up about her participation, competition and even described the contestants in her own style.

I think the timing. The unthinkable is happening and the pandemic has made me realise that I was being too rigid. They have been approaching me from the first season, and although it’s always so tempting, I have always said no. Bigg Boss is a show that’s watched by the whole world. It’s on such a popular channel and to be honest, the budgets are great. There was a lot of temptation but what put me off every time were the fights. It was mental torture. However, I have realised that the world has now become a similar place. Whatever you say, even if it’s a good thing or not, a lot of criticism comes your way. The whole barrier has now dropped and so I thought what’s the harm. Also, it’s still scary to go out and given the team is taking so much precaution, it was the perfect timing.
