Television

Although short-lived, her Bigg Boss journey paved her way to popularity. Her social media handles saw a huge rise in the number of followers. She got evicted from the show in the fifth week. Later, she joined Star Maa’s version of Jabardasth, which is called Comedy Stars, as a participant. She then grabbed the opportunity to host a game show with Anchor Ravi, which was titled The Happy Days. In an interview, she said,
Well, I knew hosting would be coming my way but not this soon. It was very unplanned.”
Looking back at her Bigg Boss journey, in an interview, she said,
If ever I go to the BB house again, I would like to be more active and focused on entertaining the viewers.”
She added,
Back then, I was on a different tangent. I was still trying to cope up with a breakup and had no clue where I was and what I was doing. I didn’t know who’s what, too. Neither was I in the space to give anyone that scope to get close nor take any chances. But now, I’ve been working here for quite some time and I will know what is what. I will try to be the chatterbox that I am (laughs). Basically, try not to get into that emotional zone and be at my entertaining best.. if at all I’d go to Bigg Boss (laughs).”
She entered the Telugu Bigg Boss OTT house as a participant in 2022.
