The highly anticipated 19th season of the controversial reality show Bigg Boss is finally arrived, and fan excitement is at an all-time high! Salman Khan returns as host, bringing his trademark charisma, tremendous hosting style, and the promise of unrivalled entertainment. In an exclusive chat with mid-day, Choreographer and influencer Awez Darbar got candid about entering the house, his Jhalak stint and more.
Awez opened up about his beginning with brakes on TV with Jhalak, "When I went to Jhalak, I hit a sixer as a wild card entry. People get selected after giving votes. But the judges told me, without voting, that you don`t need votes; you get selected. And after that, I got a leg injury. I got an MCL tear. I got such a bad look, and at that time, I felt very bad. But before leaving the show, I said a line that I think God wants me to do something bigger in life. And maybe God is waiting for something more for me in the future."
When asked about the family`s reaction, Awez said, "They were very happy. First, they were happy like a jumping jack. After that, they started getting a little stressed. Will he fight inside? Will this happen? Did he ever show negative outside? This happened, this happened. They started sending videos. They said, Don`t do this, don`t do that. I told my mom, `How do you like me as a person?` And said she liked me, so I`m going to stay like this there too."
