Bhojpuri film superstar Dinesh Yadav became the first contestant to be voted out of reality show “Bigg Boss 6” Friday night.
“It was a small, but very nice experience in the ‘Bigg Boss’ house. All those things that I couldn’t learn till the age of 30, I have learnt here – cleaning the toilet, cleaning the garden, sweeping the floor, washing utensils… I had never done it,” Dinesh told IANS over phone from Lonavala.
“I had heard that there is no person or work in the world which is small. Now I actually know it. So I consider ‘Bigg Boss’ to be an institute, as I have learnt important things in life,” he said.
Dinesh, also popularly known as Nirahua, says he has realized the importance of being able to do all kinds of household chores.
“A star is not always a star. People believe that film stars can’t do small, menial jobs. But this show gave me a chance to do that, and do it in front of so many people,” he added.
Dinesh says he knew he would be evicted soon on the show, which went on air with a total of 15 contestants on Colors Oct 7.
“I felt I would come out, simply because I know I can’t mix too well with people. Playing bubbly characters in film is different. In real life, it is my shortcoming that I can’t mingle with people soon. But that’s how I am,” said the actor.
It’s not been a week to the show, and fights have already begun. Fights are inevitable, he says.
“There are a lot of experienced, smart and intelligent people in the house. I am sure there will be a lot of situations where people will fight, because with so many people inside, and all of them with different views, they are bound to have a clash.
“Someone would hate someone’s laugh, another would be bugged if someone cries… so these fights are inevitable,” he said, assuring that since the show is aimed at family audiences this time, one would not see any abuses.
In his short stay of less than a week, he maintained a low profile amongst 14 other contestants. He remained quiet most of the times and kept to himself, observing others. Dinesh was seen as a keen listener, even while he actively participated in a water tank task assigned by Bigg Boss.
Dinesh was nominated for eviction along with controversial cartoonist Aseem Trivedi, model Karishma Kotak and celebrity hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani.
The sixth season of “Bigg Boss” went on air on Colors Oct 7, with Bollywood star Salman Khan as its host.
For now, Dinesh is only waiting to get back to his world of Bhojpuri cinema.
