Mumbai, April 26 (NationPress) Actor Vivek Dahiya disclosed that he has no desire to join the contentious reality series Bigg Boss, which is hosted by Salman Khan. His actress-wife, Divyanka Tripathi, mentioned that they don’t even tune in to the program.
Vivek and Divyanka were featured guests on the podcast hosted by Bharti Singh and Harssh Limbachiyaa.
When Bharti inquired if they received an offer for Bigg Boss, Vivek promptly responded: “No, not Bigg Boss.”
When asked if they watch the show, both Vivek and Divyanka stated: “No, we don’t watch it.”
Divyanka added: “In fact, there was some discussion about him (Vivek) possibly receiving a call for it. I suggested, ‘Let’s start watching the show,’ but seeing the kind of conflicts happening in Bigg Boss… we felt—it was too negative. I sense that negativity, and I simply want to distance myself from it.”
Given the show’s format which encourages confrontations, can Vivek manage it?
“I can fight—I’m a Jaat. But why would I put myself in such a scenario… just for money? There are countless other ways to earn a living,” he remarked.
To this, Divyanka added: “He’s a wonderful blend. On one hand, he’s classy and refined, educated in the UK, and on the other hand, there’s a Jaat in him!”
Vivek, known for his roles in shows like Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and Qayamat Ki Raat, reflected on how his uncle was a jailer and would take him along during summer breaks.
Vivek recounted: “He would invite me to join him at the jail. His presence was commanding—a strict jailer. He would bring me some juice, and while I sipped it, I overheard the interactions with prisoners, some of whom were quite dangerous.
“Whenever he became angry, I would feel frightened. Yet, he had this switch, much like actors do.”
“One moment he’d be intense, and the next, he’d approach me gently and ask, “Did you have your juice?” That made me realize—anger isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, merely appearing angry suffices. Sacrificing your own peace isn’t worthwhile. You frequently make poor choices out of anger—and later regret them.”
