‘Bigg Boss’ participant Sapna Chaudhary wants to go back to school

Singer-dancer Sapna Chaudhary, the latest to be evicted from Bigg Boss 11, says her childhood dream was to be the best student of the class, and now she wants to fulfil it by finishing her education.

Chaudhary started working when she was 12 to support her family after her father’s death.

“I was good in studies and history was my favourite subject. We were financially so poor that I had to discontinue my education. Later, I never even told my mother about my desire to study because education for me was nothing but luxury at that time,” she said. “Now that I have a little stability in life, at least financially, I want to study.”

Talking about leaving the Bigg Boss house she said: “I have no complaints. I think I managed to serve my purpose of entering the house. I think one shouldn’t get attached to anything emotionally inside the house because there’s a lot of competition inside and people do not think from the heart, but the head.”

“Secondly, I could have survived for more days if I would have built up a friendship with participants there... That happened in the end though,” said Chaudhary, who wants to stay in touch with other participants Hina Khan, Priyank Sharma and Akaash Dadlani.

Being a dancer from Haryana, Chaudhary believes that in north India, women do not get respect if they work as stage dancers. Her aim via Bigg Boss was to help bring about a change in that thinking.

“Yes, we entertain people on stage, but that is my job. That does not mean that in my regular days, anyone, especially men, can walk up to me to tease or look at me with vulgarity in their eyes. Our job does not allow them to disrespect or misbehave with us,” she said.

“Keeping the profession aside, we are normal women. We run our kitchen from whatever we earn and we have responsibilities. Men have no right to look down upon us and treat us like disrespectful entities,” asserted Chaudhary.

Overwhelmed to meet Bollywood superstar Salman Khan courtesy of Bigg Boss, Chaudhary hopes to move to Mumbai and work in films.
