New Delhi: Model Rochelle Rao, who has created a steady pitch for herself in the world of cricket as a host, says that she wants to connect with the 'Hindi audience' through popular reality TV show Bigg Boss 9.
"I want to connect with my Hindi audience, so I will be focussing on that. The reality show makes you a household name and as an anchor that is the best thing one can hope for," Rochelle told IANS over phone from Lonavala before entering the Bigg Boss house.
She added: "I hope that I break into the Hindi market as well and if it leads to fiction shows and movies then it is well and good. I'm not well versed in Hindi, so my goal is to speak only in Hindi once inside the house".
The former beauty queen, who also participated in action-adventure show Khatron Ke Khiladi Darr ka Blockbuster and hosted the sixth season of Indian Premier League, has entered the ninth season of the reality show with 13 other celebrities including Roopal Tyagi, Ankit Gera, Kishwar Merchant, Aman Verma and Prince Narula.

Rochelle's boyfriend Keith Sequeira is also in the show, which is yet again hosted by Salman Khan. The first episode of the season went on air on October 11.
Rochelle feels that it's a good and positive thing to have Keith around in the show.
The reality show, an Indian version of international series Celebrity Big Brother, is known for its notorious qualities like fuelling controversies and constant brickbats.
But Rochelle is not 'bothered about controversies' as she said that she won't get 'too involved in them'.
Talking about getting locked inside a house for three months under constant camera surveillance, Rochelle said that she will miss her regular dose of coffee, her cats and loved ones.
