Nora Fatehi: Bigg Boss Entry Was for Money, Not Fame
20 Sep
Summary
- Nora Fatehi joined Bigg Boss 9 due to unpaid dues from music producers.
- She negotiated to appear on Jhalak Dikhla Jaa instead of Bigg Boss.
- Fatehi's wild card entry on Bigg Boss 9 occurred in December 2015.
Nora Fatehi's decision to participate in Bigg Boss 9 was driven by a need to secure payment for her previous work. She disclosed on a podcast that producers had not paid her for several songs, leaving her in a difficult financial situation. The offer to join Salman Khan's reality show came as a surprise.
Initially hesitant about reality television, Fatehi was swayed by the proposed remuneration. She recognized Bigg Boss as a significant platform for audience reach. Fatehi, entering as a wildcard contestant in December 2015, saw an opportunity to leverage the show. She strategically negotiated with the channel, trading her appearance on Bigg Boss for a spot on Jhalak Dikhla Jaa.
Her tenure on Bigg Boss 9 was brief, concluding with her eviction in January 2016. During her time on the show, she formed a close bond with fellow contestant Prince Narula.
