'Everything in Bigg Boss was scripted'
After her infamous turn in the reality TV show Bigg Boss, Pooja Missra is back with a sexy item number called Ho Jayega Koi Fanaa in the film Baaja Baja Dunga.
The film sees the comeback of director Chandra Barot, who had directed the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Don in 1978.
The song was recently shot in a studio in Kandivali, a western suburb in Mumbai. It has been composed by Nikhil Kamat and has been choreographed by Vicky.
"We worked very hard, day and night, and shot the item song in a day," Pooja Missra says.
The starlet gives more details to Rajul Hegde, and also reveals that Bigg Boss was indeed 'scripted'.
'My item number is classy and shot sensuously'
How different is your song from other item numbers?
There are cheap chicklets who are ready to go naked, and thrust in front of the camera to become famous. My song is not like that. It is classy and shot sensuously.
If people ask me would I like to be called a sex symbol, my reply is, "I would like to be called an intellectual sex symbol."
The song is not cheap or crass but it's different.
Who are the other stars in the film?
Jackie Shroff is in the main lead with a bunch on newcomers. The movie is expected to release some time in November.
'I was projected in a weird and funny way in Bigg Boss'
How has life been after Bigg Boss?
The show was an eye-opener. It has taught me to understand people. It has changed my perception towards life.
I have become a household name and got recognition after Bigg Boss. But I didn't get any work because of it. I had signed on to do the item number before I went inside the house.
Actually, I was projected in a weird and funny way. People are intelligent enough to understand what is real and fake. It is a game of TRPs (television ratings) and they used me for that.
I was the USP of the show. Everything in Bigg Boss was scripted and they had briefed everyone except me.
If they had briefed everyone, then why single you out?
This girl is ethical and they knew that I wouldn't have agreed to be part of a scripted show. I got to know about it only after I came out.
'I'd like to see Rekha in the next Bigg Boss season'
Any more offers?
Yes. I have got two more film offers but I can't talk about it.
I have been doing lots of fashions shows. Recently I was a showstopper at the Dehradun Fashion Week for designer Amit Talwar.
Who would you like to see in Bigg Boss this season?
Rekha. I would like to see how she handles herself in that mad house.
