Bigg Boss Alum Elli AvrRam Reveals Struggles to Prove Herself as Serious Actor

In October 2025, actress Elli AvrRam, who gained popularity after appearing on the Salman Khan-hosted reality show Bigg Boss 7 in 2013, revealed the challenges she faced in the film industry following her time on the show. While the show brought her immense recognition, it also made it harder for her to be taken seriously as an actor.

Elli shared that her participation in Bigg Boss was not just about fame, but also to promote her debut film Mickey Virus. However, she soon realized that the show had created doubts about her intentions, with filmmakers and producers questioning whether she was serious about acting or just seeking fame and money.

Despite the struggles, Elli's connection with Salman Khan, the host of Bigg Boss 7, has remained strong over the years. The actress recently met Salman at a Ganpati celebration, admitting that she is bad at keeping in touch but values their mutual respect and admiration. Elli's cheerful personality and positive attitude had left a lasting impression on Salman during her time on the show, and their bond has continued to this day, even though they have not worked together in films.
