Politician and actress Archana Gautam who is a contestant on the latest season of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/bigg-boss-16-this-is-what-we-loved-about-the-new-house-on-salman-khans-show-23248488" rel="nofollow">Bigg Boss, </a>got into conversation with mid-day.com.
Why did you decide to be on Bigg Boss?
When I found out that I was shortlisted and would be interviewed for Bigg Boss, it was a dream come true. I had been hoping for this to happen since a long time.
Who are your favourites from previous seasons of the show?
I&rsquo;m not a regular viewer because I got busy with politics. I had watched season 13 and I liked <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/television-news/article/exclusive-sidharth-shukla-dropped-naked-truth-like-fire-says-koena-mitra--23243477" rel="nofollow">Sidharth Shukla</a>, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/sajid-khan-joins-bigg-boss-16-shehnaaz-gill-sends-video-message-23248482" rel="nofollow">Shehnaaz Gill</a> and Asim Riaz.
How do you balance politics and acting?
I&rsquo;m a young politician and Priyanka didi (Gandhi) gave me a ticket because she trusted me. I&rsquo;m glad that I could inspire many women. Now, I want to win over the audiences trust in Bigg Boss.
Are you prepared for fights and controversies, that are common on the show?
I am a bit scared because I have a fiery temper but my dad had said that I will have to control myself and be patient, like other politicians. I don&rsquo;t want to use words that will anger the audience and society. I belong to scheduled caste and girls from our community aren&rsquo;t given education and are married early. I want to inspire such women to go ahead and achieve their dreams.
Your thoughts about host Salman Khan...
I&rsquo;ve been watching Salman Khan sir since childhood, I enjoyed &lsquo;Maine Pyar Kiya.&rsquo; It was my childhood dream to meet him and it&rsquo;s come true today. I can&rsquo;t express how happy I am in words!
What will you miss most while in the house?
I have taken permission from Bigg Boss to carry my silbatti (grinding stone) in the house. I will make chutney and serve everyone. I also plan to carry some items for puja and saag.
