German
supermodel-turned-actress Claudia Ciesla, who was linked to Salman Khan, says
she is hoping to boost her career in Bollywood by
participating in the third
season of reality show "Bigg Boss".
"I think this will be a
good platform for me as it will help me in boosting my popularity among the
Indian audience. I want to do good Indian films and I am seriously thinking
about Bollywood - but all that after 'Bigg Boss'," Claudia told IANS over phone
before entering the reality show.
Despite
her not-so-good Hindi, Claudia says she has been on the lookout to work with
"good directors, good cast and a good crew".
"I
don't see a problem with my English at all. I know I don't speak Hindi as of
now, but hopefully my 'Bigg Boss' inmates will teach me and I might catch up on
the language in a few months," said Claudia who featured in M.R. Shahjahan's
"Karma: Crime, Passion, Reincarnation".
The
22-year-old said she was extremely excited to enter "Bigg Boss" that went on air
Sunday.
"This
is my first time on Indian television and a reality show. I'm hoping it will be
a lot of fun. I'm not at all nervous because nobody knows what's going to happen
inside so I can only hope that I have a wonderful time with all the
celebrities," she said.
Claudia
is now in the "Bigg Boss" house with 12 more people, surviving without her
family or any connection with the outside world.
Claudia
is sharing it with Poonam Dhillon, Shamita Shetty, Kamaal R. Khan, Ismail
Darbar, Sherlyn Chopra, Vindu Dara Singh, Raju Srivastav, et al.
But
she was most delighted to meet megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is hosting the
reality show.
"Thanks
to 'Bigg Boss', I could meet Mr. Bachchan. I had heard so much about him
earlier. Among his films I really like 'Black' and yes, I was thrilled after
meeting the god of Bollywood," she said in an excited tone.
Asked
what she would miss from her day-to-day life on the show, she said: "My mobile!
I am so addicted to it. But nothing more than that really. I am okay with eating
Indian food, I don't drink, I don't smoke - so I will have no problems inside
the house as such," she said.
What
about engaging in catfights?
"I'm
not going to make fight with anyone. I am here to make friends and know more
people in India - so I will try to make it all very cordial," said Claudia.
