Here's why Dhoom actress Rimi Sen did controversial reality show Bigg Boss 9; Sen reveals

After working in a few Bollywood films, actress Rimi Sen entered Bigg Boss house in season 9 just because of money, and they paid her 2.25 crores for 49 days

Rimi Sen, who did hit films like Phir Hera Pheri, Hungama, Dhoom, Deewane  Huye Paagal, Golmaal, Garam Masala, Kyon Ki and many more had also participated in Bigg Boss 9. 

During her stay in Bigg Boss house, she said that this show is not suitable for her and wants to quit, but she managed to stay inside for 49 days.

During an exclusive interview with IndiaToday, Rimi Sen was asked about her Bigg Boss journey and did she regret it?. The actress revealed why she entered the show and shared why she believes Bigg Boss was an "eye-opener" for her.

Rimi Sen said, "No, I don't think I have any regrets because they paid me Rs 2.25 crore for 49 days. Kahaan se milega tumko? The makers of Bigg Boss were very professional. They have excellent payment terms; even the show is very good. My main purpose why I agreed to be a part of the show was firstly, money. The makers of Big Boss had offered me a lot of money. There is no way possible where you can earn a whopping sum of Rs 2.25 crore in just 49 days."

Talking about the show she said, "Most of the time people fail to understand the actual concept of Bigg Boss. The show is not about fighting and getting highlighted or giving content. This show is about getting your hidden personality out. Har kisi ke andar ek kharab shaks chhupa hua hai so usko bahar lakar vo dikhate hain ki he or she is the real person. And I found the concept very interesting when it got offered to me. They purposely create tasks in a way that your worst side comes out in public and that is something you have to have a hold on yourself". 

Rimi also added, "Those who get to understand the concept they tend to become winners".

Rimi was last seen in the film Shagird in 2011. Rimi produced Budhia Singh - Born to Run, which won the National Award in 2016 in the Best Children's Film category.
