'Bigg Boss OTT 3': Journalist Deepak Chaurasia foresees 'creating controversies'
Bigg Boss OTT 3 landed on JioCinema on Friday. Among the several celebrities who have joined the show, perhaps the most surprising is popular journalist and news anchor, Deepak Chaurasia. As the only journalist among actors and influencers, he plans to use his three-decade-long journalism experience to expose some harsh realities of the profession. In an interview with Indian Express, he revealed his strategy to navigate the Anil Kapoor-led show.
From 9/11 to the walls of 'Bigg Boss OTT'
Speaking about how his experience will come in handy, he said, "I covered the 2004 Tsunami quite extensively, saw governments change, and 9/11, I have witnessed so many events in real life." "So, 5 to 8 weeks on Bigg Boss won't be very difficult. But yes, I am addicted to my phone so being without that will be a challenge." "I will speak things with facts, but they will create lots of controversies. I will be uncensored. "
Chaurasia's motivation and expectations from the show
Chaurasia's decision to join the reality show was driven by his desire to try new things. "I always believe in trying new things in life... I want to connect with the youth now," he explained. "As a journalist, I have covered diplomacy, politics, etc. I have given 30 years to the profession, so I thought it was time to do something new." "The show houses many influencers, and I thought what better than connecting with young influencers."
His approach to fame and conflict in the program
When asked about the fame and financial gain from participating in Bigg Boss, Chaurasia responded, "Bigg Boss will give me a little fame, I will enjoy that." "I come from that era of journalism when people got paid a few thousand, but I earned lakhs." "So financially I have been okay. My name has been used in films, and characters have been inspired by me, so I don't need to make a name with this show."
