Nora Fatehi’s admission decision Bigg Boss 9 Wasn’t exactly driven by love for reality television. The actor and dancer has already done several songs but says she was struggling to get paid for her work when she was offered Salman Khan’s reality show.

Speaking on Untriggered podcastNora recalled how she was chasing payments from producers when she was contacted Big Boss. At the time, she was not keen on doing the show and had a very different view of reality television.

The actor said, “I did a lot of songs, and they weren’t paying me. The producers must have paid the agency but … I had to wait for them to pay me. They weren’t paying me, and I was fighting, and it was just crazy … and then they call me and ask, ‘Do you want to do it?’ Big Boss?’ I’m not what I don’t want to do and you all don’t understand my point of view, and blah blah… and then they said I’m getting so much money. Then I’m (pause) fine!”

Nora finally got a big break on the show. Revealed that he felt Big Boss can help her reach a much larger audience, especially if she has used the platform well.

“It’s not a bad thing; it’s a platform, and it instantly makes you a household name if you’re smart. I was also a wildcard entry, so I didn’t last long, and maybe I could trade it for something else. I really wanted to.” Go into deep waterAnd it was the same channel. So I asked them to give it to me GlimpseAnd in return, I will Big Boss. I got it Glimpse In return,” he added.

Nora entered Bigg Boss 9 As a wild card contestant in December 2015 and was evicted in January 2016. During his brief stay, he developed a close relationship with Prince Narula. Both were seen flirting in the show.

Prince went on to win the season. Later he got married to his partner Bigg Boss 9 Contestant Yuvika Chaudhary. This couple now has a daughter Eklin Narula.
