Exclusive - Abhishek Malhan on being locked with other actors in Bigg Boss OTT 2: A content creator is a bigger brand than any other celebrity, they should have a game plan not me

Fights and arguments, video creator Abhishek Malhan has made his presence felt in the Bigg Boss OTT 2 house. Abhishek, who goes by the name Fukra Insaan, spoke to ETimes TV and shared his game strategy, why he took up this show and more before entering the house and more:

2/9

When approached for the show

When I was approached for this show, I didn’t want to do the OTT one. But when I learnt it is hosted by Salman Khan, I wanted to give it a try. I didn’t want my channels to be inactive, so I worked hard and shot a lot of videos so that even in my absence during the show, content should be up on my channel. I thought BB OTT would be a new experience.

3/9

On watching Bigg Boss before

I used to watch Bigg Boss a lot before. But I stopped watching it. Now I think that I should have watched more of it.

4/9

Breaking point in the show

Why will I lose my calm? Until I see someone hit below the belt, I won’t lose my calm. There are no preparations. I just want to go with the flow. I don’t have any preset notions. I won’t be someone else because there are cameras around.

5/9

Living amongst other celebrities

In today’s world, I feel a video creator or a content creator are a bigger brand than any other TV personality or the so called celebrities. I feel they should have a game plan than me having a game plan.

6/9

On Salman Khan being the host

Sallu Bhai is the only reason I am doing this show. He is one personality I always look up to. I don’t mind being scolded by him. If he guides me, I am going to take it in a positive way.

7/9

Do you think Bigg Boss OTT will serve as a platform to gain followers?

I don’t think it is going to make much of a difference. The fame that I have got through my channel has made me who I am today. The subscriber base I have, I think, that’s the only reason they chose me for the show. I expect that a lot of new people join my base and see my channel. I want this platform to get new people, who will watch me and my work later.

8/9

Any Bigg Boss personality you have followed?

I have never followed someone from Bigg Boss apart from MC Stan. I have not started following him since the show but since the time he had just started his journey by posting his work.

9/9

Survival strategy in Bigg Boss OTT 2

I will be super active on my energy. I will try to keep people entertained and not get bored. I feel with my presence, audience should get a reason to watch Bigg Boss and they like me. I just want to be real, play well and make people love you.
