People can say whatever they want to say, but I have never done anything for ‘Bigg Boss’. I am a normal Indian woman who had to do business to keep my family alive. As far as the controversy is concerned, I went against the police for my right and the safety of my family. I know the truth and hence, such negativity never affects me.

I never started my business to go viral. I just wanted to earn for myself and my family. Also, if it is so easy for people to go to ‘Bigg Boss’ Veg Vada Pav If you have the card, please go ahead. Everybody should do that.”
