Bigg Boss Telugu 6 contestant Inaya Sulthana: From being disowned by family, moving to Hyd with Rs 100 and opening up about facing casting couch; lesser-known side of the aspiring actress

Inaya Sulthana became one of the first contestants to get nominated for eviction in the first week of Bigg Boss Telugu season 6. She was one of the three 'Trash' contestants, who got directly nominated for eviction this week. The aspiring actress, who became popular almost overnight with a video featuring controversial filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, will have to fight for survival in the BB house now. On this note, here's a look at some lesser-known facts about the starlet.

2/7

Losing her father

Inaya Sulthana lost her father Rahman during the lockdown phase. He was almost passionate about acting and also tried his luck in Chennai many years back. However, he had to step back due to family constraints. Inaya wishes to fulfill his dream by becoming a star in the showbiz world.

Moving to Hyderabad with Rs. 100

In one of her recent interviews, Inaya said she worked in Tirupati for a couple of months and her friends even laughed at her knowing her acting dreams. She apparently moved to Hyderabad with just Rs. 100, and worked in petty roles to afford her hostel fees.

4/7

Lack of support from family

Inaya doesn't enjoy support from her family. In one of her recent online interviews, she claimed that her family didn't want her to even do a job. She added that her family didn't like her pursuing acting opportunities as well and that is why she chose to run away from home.

5/7

Earning hatred from family, disowning them

Inaya revealed that her family in fact hated her after her video of dancing with Ram Gopal Varma on her birthday went viral on social media. In BB6 premiere, Inaya stated that she earned a lot of negativity for that video but she has taken everything on a positive note as she believes 'any publicity is good publicity'.

Facing casting couch

Inaya also claims that she, too, has faced casting couch in the film industry and has lost many films as well. However, she believes one can come up in the industry without compromising on their values.
