I did not choose Bigg Boss 11 to alter my image: Vikas Gupta

As readers would know, last year Vikas was involved in an ugly controversy with Parth Samthaan. The two were allegedly in a relationship and as they had a fallout, both accused each other of playing dirty with them. When asked if he is entering the show to clear out the issue, Vikas shot back, “I am not entering the show to alter any image. I am not a kid and don’t run away from my past, I wouldn’t change anything that happened in my life. But yes, through the show I want people to know the real Vikas. It’s really easy to judge people but one should have known what I went through, before labeling me guilty.”

Stating that since he has always been away from family, Bigg Boss will not be haunting for him, the young producer added, “From the age of three I was in a boarding school and at the age of 17, I moved to Mumbai so I am used to surviving by myself. But in the last two years, I have really got close to my mother, who shifted with me, and I am going to miss her a lot.”

Lastly, we questioned him whether his stint with reality shows would make him take up more opportunities. He quipped, “I really don’t know. I have always believed in not going by the norms and will continue to do so. I love writing, directing and producing and have also hosted a chat show Bad Company. Hopefully, will continue to do more exciting stuff ahead in life.”

A close associate of Ekta Kapoor, Vikas has a warm bond with most of the television stars. He was also in news recently after he was caught by shutterbugs with Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara Khan. With a fan following of himself, Vikas is touted to be one of the strongest contestants this season.

The Salman Khan hosted Bigg Boss 11 will premiere tonight on Colors. The confirmed list of contestants includes celebs Vikas, Hina Khan, Hiten Tejwani, Shilpa Shinde, Priyank Sharma, Benafsha Soonawala, and commoners Shivani Durgah, Jyoti Kumari, Sapna Choudhary and Zubair Khan.
