Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Nora Fatehi opened up about her journey in Bigg Boss 9. What Nora shared During the chat, Nora shared, “I did a bunch of songs, and they weren't giving my money. The producers must have paid the agency but… I got to wait for them to pay me. They were not paying me, and I was fighting, and it was just crazy… and then they call me and ask, ‘Do you want to do Bigg Boss?’ I am like no I don't want to do and you all do not understand my vision, and bla bla… and then they shared that I was getting paid this much money. Then I am like (pauses) okay!”
Adding to this, “It is not a bad thing; it is a platform, and it immediately makes you a household name if you are smart. I was also a wildcard entry, so I was not going to stay there for long, and maybe I can exchange it for something else. I really wanted to do Jhalak Dikhla Jaa, and it was the same channel. So I told them to give me Jhalak, and in return, I would do Bigg Boss. I got Jhalak in exchange,” she added.
