YouTube sensation Dhinchak Pooja, the latest to be evicted from reality TV show “Bigg Boss 11”, says she now dreams of working in Hindi filmdom.
Asked if working in Bollywood was on her mind, Dhinchak told media persons after her “Bigg Boss” eviction: “Yes, I want to be a part of Bollywood. I would like to try my hands at acting. Let’s see what offers come to me.”
Pooja’s journey in the 11th season of the popular reality television show came to an end tonight with host Salman Khan announcing her name from among the eight contestants nominated for eviction this week.
“I had fun during my stay in the house, I wish I had the opportunity to be on the show for some more time. I am happy that I will be meeting my family and sad because I will miss my new family of Bigg Boss,” Pooja, who became a YouTube star with her songs like “Selfie Maine Le Li Aaj” and “Swag Wali Topi”, told media persons.
Dhinchak, whose real name is Pooja Jain, hails from East Delhi in the national capital, and first came up with the song “Swag waali topi”.
Pooja Jain, popularly known as Dhinchak Pooja, was nominated, along with Hiten Tejwani, Priyank Sharma, Sapna Chaudhary, Shilpa Shinde, Hina Khan, Benafsha Soonawalla, Sabyasachi Satpathy and Bandgi Kalra.
“My journey has been good. Initially, I took some time to adjust in the house. I am a simple and confident girl, but I feel uncomfortable with cameras around for 24 hours,” she said.
Pooja added that she was open to going back inside the “Bigg Boss” house if there was an opportunity.
Dhinchak Pooja alias Pooja Jain evicted from “Bigg Boss”, wants to join Bollywood:
Dhinchak’s claim to fame are songs that have been dubbed “bad”. Yet, tracks like “Selfie mainai leli aaj” and “Daaru” went viral on digital platforms.
Does she purposely sing in such a manner to gain eyeballs on social media platforms?
“No. No money has been spent on music and beat… That’s why it seems funny. The kind of lyrics I know, I write… And even if I put money and it doesn’t come out well, then also it wouldn’t seem right,” said the 23-year-old.
The “Bapu dede thoda cash” singer says she wants to do something unique.
“I wanted to do something different. So I created something that people liked in a funny way… Whatever it was, they liked it,” she added.
Asked if the negative remarks about her singing skills and videos affect her, Dhinchak said: “No. I don’t feel bad. I don’t pay attention (to all this).
Dhinchak on Sunday night was evicted from season 11 of “Bigg Boss”, hosted by superstar Salman Khan. Though not disappointed, she feels she couldn’t prove herself in her two-week stay.
“It was a very good experience. Everyone was very nice. There is nothing like a commoner or celebrity in the house. But when people become extreme, then they show they are celebrities… But that is human behaviour.”
Dhinchak said contestants Hina Khan and Shilpa Shinde are “playing games” in the house. Still, she feels Shilpa could be the winner this time. The show is aired on Colors channel.
