Mumbai: As the excitement surrounding the latest season of Bigg Boss intensifies, a new and intriguing face has stepped into the spotlight within the iconic house. Muskan Bamne, best known for her role as Pakhi in the popular Indian television drama “Anupamaa,” is now a contestant on Bigg Boss 18. Fans are buzzing with anticipation, eager to see the real Muskan unveil herself on the widely televised show hosted by Salman Khan.
In an exclusive conversation with the Indian Express, Muskan candidly shared her thoughts on embracing this bold new step and what her fans can anticipate over the coming weeks. Describing her transition from a dramatic serial to the intense dynamics of a reality show, she said, “A reality show is a different ballgame where people truly get to know you. On TV shows, the audience is familiar with my character, but here, viewers will see the genuine Muskan. Contrary to my on-screen persona as Paakhi in ‘Anupamaa,’ I am quite the opposite in real life. While fans have witnessed my on-screen confrontations, there’s so much more to me, and that’s what I’m excited for viewers to experience on Bigg Boss.”
Muskan’s journey to this point has been marked by significant experiences and decisions. One major choice was her recent departure from “Anupamaa” before the show’s narrative leap, a decision driven by her belief that she was too young to convincingly portray the role of a mother. This move sparked her desire to explore new opportunities, leading her to the Bigg Boss house where personal authenticity is put to the test under 24/7 surveillance.
Notably, Muskan reflected on the departures of her former co-actors Sudhanshu Pandey and Madalsa Sharma from “Anupamaa,” highlighting the vacuum their exit created. “Everyone on set, not just the audience, misses Sudhanshu and Madalsa. The absence of Vanraj Shah, portrayed by Sudhanshu, has left a noticeable void in the show’s enjoyment factor. Many people felt a connection with Sudhanshu sir’s character.
. With the series now taking a narrative leap, there are discussions about potential new casts joining.”
Addressing speculations about alleged bitterness among the show’s leading stars as they exited, Muskan dispelled the rumors by affirming the supportive atmosphere that characterized the working environment. “There isn’t any truth to the rumors of discord. Being the youngest on set, every actor was quite supportive. Rupali, especially, was always helpful. When there were things I didn’t understand, she would patiently guide me. She’s genuinely lovely,” Muskan remarked.
Muskan Bamne’s path in the entertainment industry has been one of rapid ascent. Her portrayal of Pakhi in “Anupamaa” brought her into the limelight, carving out her reputation as not just a talented actress but as the youngest shining star of the show. Her decision to embark on a new journey with Bigg Boss 18 is poised to further cement her status as a multifaceted entertainer.
For Muskan, the reality show represents an opportunity not just for self-revelation but for growth and resilience. “Bigg Boss is not just about entertaining the audience; it’s also about learning how to cope with various situations and understanding oneself better. I hope to come out stronger by the end of it,” she shared.
As fans tune in to witness her journey unfold, Muskan’s entrance into the Bigg Boss house marks the beginning of an unpredictable yet thrilling phase of her career. Her experience promises to be unique, merging personal revelation with public exposure, and whether she thrives or falters, Muskan’s participation is sure to bring an engaging dimension to the ever-evolving reality show.
