TV actress Tina Datta, who has appeared in shows like Uttaran, Shani, Daayan, and Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 7, is reportedly confirmed for the upcoming season of Bigg Boss. Without confirming if she is entering the show or not, here’s what Tina told Pinkvilla about the rumours:

I have been approached for the last few years.  Firstly, Bigg Boss makes me nervous.  It’s a challenging show and being around cameras for 24 hours along with the judgements happening outside is very very tough.  However, it’s not that I am not up for challenges.  It’s just that things have not worked out in the past for various reasons and if I take on the show, I would want to be prepared with everything to the Tee.  Every year I receive congratulatory messages as the media and everyone is convinced that I am doing the show when I am actually watching it on the outside as an audience.  And trust me the thought of being locked up in the house gives me chills!
