Khesari Lal Yadav: I Can Eat Raw ‘bhindis’ If I Don’t Get Anything to Eat in BB House

Colors’ popular and most controversial reality show Bigg Boss 13 has come up with some unique twists this season. Unlike its previous seasons, the show has introduced a set of wild card entrants to compete after the first finale.

Bhojpuri actor and singer Khesari Lal Yadav, who just entered the show as a wild card got candid about himself and the show in an exclusive chat with India Forums.

How excited are you to enter the Bigg Boss house?

I’m happy that I got the opportunity to participate in such a big show. I’ll just try to do better and give my best.

What made you participate in the show?

There are no specific reasons for participating in Bigg Boss. It’s a big platform and like every man, I too want to be a part of such a big show. I have worked a lot, I have been working in the Bhojpuri industry for over nine years and will continue to do so but one should always try to grow and build an identity for himself across the world. If tomorrow something better happens then people should at least have an idea about that this man is known. I don’t want to end my journey so soon, I want to take it further and on different platforms.

Bigg Boss has almost completed five weeks now, you being a wild card entrant have already seen the way contestants are playing the game. How do you think this will benefit you?

I haven’t watched the show much as I was busy with other work and shooting. So, I don’t know much about the game happening inside. I’m aware of who are the participants and I even know their names. Housemates are there inside the house for 24/7 but we are shown only fifty minutes episodes. So, I can’t observe and learn about a person’s behaviour, perceptions and actions in just 50 mins. It is not right to talk about anyone without having proper knowledge about them.

What strategies have you planned for surviving inside the house?

I have no strategy. I haven’t planned anything for the game. People have watched me as I’m and because of this behaviour and traits, I have reached here. So, I’ll continue to be myself and be the same as what my audience has seen.

Who do you think is currently the strongest contestant in the show?

I feel Siddharth Shukla, he is the only straightforward person inside the house right now. I liked him because he doesn’t do bitching and try to please others for the sake of the game. He is also very loyal to his teammates.

We have seen housemates fighting over petty things like food, especially Rashmi and Siddharth. What is your take on the matter?

I don’t feel hungry at all. I don’t worry about food but for work. I’ll ask Bigg Boss to assign me 5-7 tasks after I go inside so that I will be busy with my work. I shed my sweat to make my life, I don’t want to just sit and eat. I can even cook my own food and if at all I don’t get anything to eat, I can still eat raw ‘bhindis’ (ladyfinger).
