Mumbai: Former Bollywood actress has clarified that she has been approached to participate in the controversial show hosted by superstar Salman Khan, “Bigg Boss 18”. She said that it is a total rumour and at best a ploy to boost ratings.
Somy has reportedly been approached for the controversial reality show “Bigg Boss 18” as per the list of contestants circulating on the internet.
To debunk the rumours, Somy said: “I can’t leave my non-profit organisation to be a part of a show whose filming duration is too long. I say this with the utmost respect for the show as I haven’t seen a single episode and have no idea what it entails. “I heard that it’s scripted and that I was going to be a contestant, which is something I’ve never spoken about with anyone from the show who works behind the scenes,” she said.
She said scripted reality shows are an oxymoron. “Something I wouldn’t consider participating in even if I was approached as a contestant. So it’s complete hearsay and at best a ratings-boosting tactic, something networks often do.” “I was told to pretend I was having an affair with a certain actor right before that specific movie was released for publicity back in the 90s, so this isn’t surprising at all,” she added.
She believes that the ratings would go up if she hosted or participated in the show. “Just think about it – Somy Ali will host Bigg Boss after Salman Khan. Imagine the ratings or even if she were to participate in it. These are all contrived strategies at best. Also, I have no intention of participating in any scripted reality show. Particularly after working in an unscripted show,” she concluded.
