There is at least one person in India who's recovered from the news that Kim Kardashian is going to be on
Bigg Boss this weekend and has offered the American reality TV star some advice on what to expect from the Indian reality TV show.
Sunny Leone, former adult film star who went legit, has written about her experiences on
Bigg Boss a couple of seasons ago for
Quartz India. She writes that she simply wanted to have a good time on the show and hopes Kim will do the same: "My strategy as a contestant was to not have one. I was just myself. And I just wanted to have a good time. And this is what I hope Kim does, though she is just going to be there as a guest."
When Sunny decided to say yes to the producers of
Bigg Boss, she had certain concerns: "I was worried about my safety-about the safety of the contestants. Though I grew up in an Indian home, and I know them to be the nicest people, I also know there can be a bad apple within a crowd who feels strongly about my background and can hurt, or hurt someone I love, and I didn't want that."
Sunny is candid about life in the
Bigg Boss house being hard to deal with, though this might not worry the star of
Keeping Up With The Kardashians any: "The show tests you in a way that maybe you have never been tested before, because you're stuck in a box, and there's no way out. But I am not a fighter. I don't like confrontation. I didn't worry about the drama. I let other people do the drama, because there's enough of that, that goes on."
However, if the drama doesn't faze a veteran of reality TV like Kim, this might: "The
Bigg Boss house is going to be a little bit of a shock to her-especially if the contestants don't clean up that morning. It is usually a mess-and you can't blame them because it is a truly self-run house. No one comes in to do the dishes for you. Or cleans up after you. No one makes your bed, or washes your clothes.
She is not going to understand any Hindi either. That's going to be a little hard for her-but she should know everybody in India speaks English. But who knows, she might be taking lessons already. She is a very smart woman. Though, it will be fun if the contestants are assigned to get her to use Hindi."
Sunny's final piece of advice to Kim is something Kanye's missus might want to be mindful of. To Kim, who once described Indian food as "disgusting," Sunny says: "Lastly, I want to tell her that she is going to change her perception about Indian food. Sometimes in the West, we don't like the Indian cuisine because it is hard to find authentic homemade food. In restaurants, they usually overdo the spices. At least in the
Bigg Boss house, they have the greatest diet-food ever, because we used less butter and less spices."
Sunny Leone, real name Karenjit Kaur Vohra, is a Canadian of Indian origin who appeared on
Bigg Boss in 2011 and later made her Bollywood debut in
Jism 2.
Kim Kardashian is currently travelling around the world promoting her perfume Fleur Fatale and will touch down in India this weekend. This is her first visit and she is reportedly being paid Rs 85 lakhs to make a one-day appearance on
Bigg Boss.
