Known for her sharp wit and relatable content, Nagma reflected on her journey inside the Bigg Boss house, sharing what shaped her path.

Talking about her early influences, Nagma said, “I always wanted to be a rapper actually. Back then, I was inspired by rappers like Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and the cypher and underground battle culture in India. Divine had a group I’d follow, but since I had a strict time limit to be home, I’d just go, listen, and come back. That hunger to create something of my own stayed with me.”

She also opened up about her family’s expectations and challenges, “My grandfather wanted me to be an actor, but later problems happened, Mehboob Studio also faced issues. We suddenly lost everything. After the highs, we went back to zero. So, my father wanted me study because this field is very unpredictable.”
