How excited are you about participating? Big boss 18, and what motivated you to join the show?

I’m really excited to take part in the show. It feels great to be a part of the biggest reality show in the country. It’s my first reality show. I feel blessed. The motivation behind doing Bigg Boss was to do a non-fiction genre. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and do something I had never done before. It’s a question of fate. I was previously approached for the show, but due to my busy schedule that was not possible. This year I was free. That’s why I took this opportunity.

What strategy do you plan to use to survive in the Bigg Boss house, and how will you handle conflicts with fellow contestants?

I think having a plan is the dumbest plan. Going with the free mentality will be most helpful for me in my home. I’m just going to respond to the situations accordingly. As for the conflicts, I will respond in the house according to the situation. There’s no point in having a plan.

What is your biggest fear while living in the Bigg Boss house and how do you plan to overcome it?

I don’t know what will happen inside. I don’t know what will happen in the house that will scare me. I will also examine what I fear. It will certainly be a challenge.

Are you open to finding love in the Bigg Boss house, or is your focus solely on winning the show?

Creating a bond or friendship with a fellow participant will happen very naturally and organically. You can’t plan to connect and continue with the show. I am open to love. If I fall in love, I would definitely continue the bond. The efforts will certainly come from my side.

What do you think is your biggest strength that will help you tackle the challenges of Bigg Boss?

I believed in the confidence that I have. That will be the greatest strength. You must have confidence in yourself. No one in the world is perfect. You just have to show your real personality. I’m sure the audience will like it.

Conversely, what weaknesses do you think you need to work on to be successful in the competition?

I don’t feel there is any weakness. If there is any weakness, I can explore it indoors. I’ll work on it. I’m sure I’ll overcome it. I am a combination of emotional and practical. Balance is required in everyone’s life. I think the perfectly balanced person is practical and emotional at the same time.

How do you plan to deal with the pressure and stress that comes with living in a confined environment where multiple cameras and microphones are recording your every move?

This is out of my hands. I know I will be in front of the camera 24/7 with microphones. This is the beauty of this show. Everything will be recorded. Bigg Boss brings out your real personality. If you try to be fake, you will be immediately caught by the team and the public. So just be real.

Are you nervous when you meet Salman Khan on stage?

Not at all. I am a big fan of Salman sir. I started my fitness journey after getting inspiration from him. We used to watch the first day of Salman sir’s film. I always wanted to make my physique like his.

What will you do in the house when Salman Khan bashes you on the Weekend Ka Vaar for your controversial actions in the house?

He accompanies all participants throughout the entire trip. You must follow his advice with sport. If he’s going to bash me, I’ll obviously take my point to him. I’ll give him my point of view. His feedback is very important.

Are there specific participants from previous seasons that you draw inspiration from?

No. I feel like every person is different. I don’t see any inspiration. My game will be different from the participants of the previous seasons.

What message do you want to convey to your fans and supporters before entering the Bigg Boss house?

Thank you so much for all the support and love. They will see the real Avinash on screen. I hope they will love me.
