BB18: Before fights with Vivian, Chaahat Pandey admitted she’s image-conscious

Chaahat Pandey has been under the spotlight ever since her entry in Bigg Boss 18. While talking to host Salman Khan, the actor spoke about her past controversies, fights with her co-stars and her familial issues. Before entering Bigg Boss 18, Chaahat spoke to India Today Digital and shared how she wanted to do the reality show ever since she became an actor. She also mentioned how she is wary of being projected in a certain way and would be conscious of her behaviour in front of the camera.
“When I started doing TV shows, and realised how Bigg Boss is such a successful property, I too had been wanting to be its part. It has somewhere been a dream for me,” Chaahat said.
Describing her personality, the actor said she is quite gharelu (homely) and is a typical Indian girl: “Honestly, I like being at home, spending time with my mother, and looking after her. I enjoy cooking and dressing up in traditional clothes. I am a typical Indian girl, and I hope to show that side of myself on Bigg Boss too.”
We also asked Chaahat whether she is worried about getting involved in fights or controversies that could affect her image. The AAP leader and actor responded, “I am not someone who thinks about what to say, but I definitely mindful. I don’t want to come across in a negative way. I am a good person, very simple and I want to be projected that way. There are times when the portrayal is different, and I am worried about that. However, I would be myself and I hope people enjoy that.”
Chaahat Pandey further shared that, given she has never stayed alone with strangers, it would be her biggest challenge. However, having overcome struggles and hardships at an early age, the actor mentioned she is mentally strong to take it on. “I am an emotional person but I am also very strong. I have gone through a lot and hence I understand people and their intentions. But only time and situations would prove how everything works out for me,” she said.
