Adaa Khan on if she gets locked inside Bigg Boss house; says ‘It's not my cup of tea'
Television actress Adaa Khan, known for her strong performances in shows like Naagin, has often been asked if she would ever take up a reality show like Bigg Boss. While many actors consider the show a big opportunity, Adaa has a clear perspective — it's not something she sees herself doing anytime soon.
In a recent conversation on Sardul Pandit's podcast, Adaa candidly admitted, 'It's not my cup of tea. I don't think I am yet prepared for that show. You need guts for that. I don't know about talent but now reality shows have become very different. The only reality show I did was Khatron Ke Khiladi and it was a dream reality show. It was a lifetime experience for me. People do get fame with Bigg Boss but I don't think I am ready for it.
'
Adaa believes that an actor should maintain a certain level of mystery about their personal life. 'As an actor, I feel there should be some part of mystery. We would want to know about how an actor is behind the camera but now due to social media, everything is available. I am not ready for those fights. Even for love, I don't know who is real. But also, never say never.'
Sharing her thoughts on the growing impact of social media on the acting profession, Adaa added, 'You cannot be stuck in that whole circle of social media fame. People have got confused between influencers and actors. I have friends who are very talented actors, but they are just not getting work because of their social media.'
Though she's keeping her distance from Bigg Boss for now, Adaa remains open to future possibilities while staying true to her own comfort zone and principles.

Meet actress who faced poverty, worked for Rs 50, ate food from dustbins, today leads lavish life, owns a house in Dubai, her name is...
In a world where social media noise fades fast, some voices cut through the clutter—louder, sharper, impossible to ignore. One such voice is Rakhi Sawant. You may roll your eyes, laugh, or even cringe—but you're still watching. And behind all the drama is a journey far more raw, real, and ruthless than what you see on your feed. You won't believe it, but the woman dominating every headline today once worked as a waitress at weddings, for just Rs 50 a day. Rakhi's early life was defined by crushing poverty. She's openly admitted to going hungry for days, and worse—eating leftover food picked from garbage bins just to survive. But this wasn't just about staying alive. It was the making of someone unbreakable. There was shame, too. After dancing at a local dandiya night, her own mother chopped off her long hair as punishment, meant to humiliate her. Instead, it only hardened her resolve. In the film world, she was typecast and rejected repeatedly. From background dancer to blink-and-miss roles, she clawed her way into the spotlight with songs like Pardesiya and a cameo in Main Hoon Na. When Bollywood stopped calling, she rebranded herself for reality TV—and the audience couldn't look away. Bigg Boss changed everything. Rakhi, raw and real, became a phenomenon. The tears, the fights, the one-liners—everything went viral. And suddenly, she wasn't just another starlet. She was entertainment itself. Today, Rakhi is worth over Rs 41 crore. She owns a home in Dubai. And she did it all without a godfather, mentor, or sugar-coated PR campaign—just grit, guts, and her unfiltered self. Rakhi Sawant is not just a name anymore. She's a reminder that chaos, when owned loudly enough, can become currency.

My acting dream will take off soon: Shiv Thakare
Shiv Thakare, known for Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi, now focuses on acting. Shiv Thakare, who rose to fame with Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi, wants to now show his acting prowess. But he admits that it's not easy and he is patiently waiting for the right opportunity. He shares, 'When I thought of getting into this industry in 2017, I knew about the uncertainties, so I thought if acting doesn't happen, I have studied Engineering and will pursue another career. I remember coming to Mumbai from Amravati for Roadies where I was initially rejected. People didn't take my dreams seriously, but I never gave up. That mindset has helped me reach this point. He adds, 'I used to do theatre earlier and enjoyed that, hence, I want to try my luck in films and fiction shows now. In fact, I have signed two projects, but I can't talk about them until they go on the floor.' BOX 'Things are moving in the right direction' Since I was more known for reality shows, not many knew that I was interested in acting, but now they are aware. So things are moving in the right direction, and when I have time on my hand, I work on my craft. That also keeps me grounded as a human being
