After wowing audiences with her diverse roles on television, TV actress Ridhima Pandit is set to enthral viewers with her shenanigans and chirpy demeanour on Bigg Boss OTT, in which she has competed as a participant. This year, the producers of Bigg Boss premiered the reality programme for six weeks on Voot, an OTT platform. The digital edition of the reality show, dubbed Bigg Boss OTT, is hosted by Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar.
Ridhima, who tries to keep a low profile, was meant to be a part of Bigg Boss 14 last year but things fell through. However, the actor claims that whatever occurred was for the best because she got to spend time with her mother, who passed away earlier this year after battling Covid-19.
“I am a pretty private individual. If you ever visit my social media pages, you’ll notice that I always share things I believe will resonate with others. But, as celebrities, we also have a private life, which I choose to keep secret and which consists primarily of time spent with my family and friends.
Before we entered the house, she warned us, “You are bidding goodbye to your freedom and privacy over here (BB house), and I am mentally prepared for it somewhere.”
“I’ve been occupied with back-to-back assignments since the day I started working. I had planned to do it last year, but it didn’t work out because it was the last time I had with my mother. This was God’s way of saying, “Spend all of your time with your mother,” since I would never have forgiven myself for accepting it last year. I purposefully did not accept an assignment that required me to be out in public because I also have a 93-year-old grandmother at home who needed extreme caution.
After starring in Bahu Hamari Rajni Kant as Rajni, a superhumanoid robot, Ridhima became a household name. In 2019, she competed in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 9 and was crowned second runner-up. Bigg Boss OTT, according to the actor, is “one step further in my profession.”
“I don’t believe I’ll ever get over my mother’s death, and it feels false to suggest that life goes on because it doesn’t. I’m still having some pretty bad days, and the only person who can console me is my sister, who won’t be with me over there. As a result, this is the ultimate test of my mental endurance to that level of suffering. My mother has always encouraged me to face my fears full on, and this is no exception. Ridhima stated, “I believe it is a step ahead in my profession, so I want to embrace it.”
“Good players seldom really share their methods, but to tell you the truth, I honestly do not have any strategy,” the actress replied when asked about her game plan. I am an actress, but I cannot perform 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I’m not someone who is always cheerful and upbeat. I definitely require my alone time, which is difficult to come by in that location. I’ll have my mood swings and ups and downs, but I’m a people person, so I’m hoping that will be my inner strength.”
With the premiere of Bigg Boss season 15, which will be hosted by Salman Khan, Bigg Boss OTT will effortlessly transition to Colors TV. The winner of Bigg Boss OTT will have the opportunity to participate in the 15th season of Bigg Boss on television. “I am really hopeful about making it to Bigg Boss 15, but I don’t want to seem overconfident, which is why I am being aggressive in my thought,” Ridhima stated. I don’t want to waste energy that I won’t be able to recover. I’m going to make it, and I’m going to make it.”
