Andy Kumar, who was a prominent contestant on Bigg Boss 7, recently shared his thoughts on the popular reality show and its iconic host, Salman Khan. As an actor, VJ, stylist, dancer, and TV personality, Andy's presence in the Bigg Boss house garnered considerable attention. He fondly reminisces about his experience on the show, especially his time spent in the house and the impact of Salman Khan's hosting.

Andy acknowledges the transformation that Bigg Boss has undergone since his participation, stating, "Bigg Boss is an incredible show, and it's a fierce competition. I believe it has evolved significantly since my time on the show. If I were to consider returning, I'd have to start anew, adapting to the dynamics of today's world, where social media and fan followings play a pivotal role in determining success or failure. However, I might be one of those individuals who can enter the show without a massive fan base and simply be authentic. This authenticity is a crucial aspect that has perhaps been overlooked. After all, it's a reality show and a test of one's personality. You must be true to yourself, whether the audience agrees or not, and stand by your beliefs. It seems that this authenticity is missing from Bigg Boss nowadays."

Praising the show's host and Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan, Andy adds, "Salman Khan is an incredible host, and let's be honest, many people tune in solely for him. There have been speculations lately that he may not wish to continue with the show. Some YouTubers have commented on his seemingly diminished enthusiasm, but there could be various factors at play. People often don't have the full picture of what's happening in someone's life. It's normal to have moments of low energy during various phases of the show. Nevertheless, judging from the remarkable energy he's displaying in the promos, I am confident that he will make a strong comeback this time. As everyone says, he will light up the weekend episodes, so I'm eagerly anticipating that."

Andy and many others share the sentiment that "Bigg Boss has become a shortcut to success and fame." He elaborates, saying, "However, it has also become a platform for individuals to discover that they are not universally liked, which can hinder their prospects for success or fame. It's a double-edged sword. If you excel on the show and authentically showcase all facets of your personality without being evicted early, then you might achieve something. But presently, contestants are overly cautious and self-conscious, often failing to be genuine. This is my primary concern regarding participation in the show."

Offering advice to potential contestants, Andy suggests, "My top tip for anyone contemplating joining the show today would be to consider hiring a public relations professional to manage your public image because it's become essential. Additionally, work on building a dedicated fan following as it can be a significant advantage. Bring some stylish outfits, make a statement since you're on a televised show, and, most importantly, be yourself. Showcase your true self, and you might just emerge victorious in the competition." Andy concludes on this note.
