Bigg Boss 12 is just a couple of hours away from going on air and fans are hooked to their phones to know more about the contestants they will be watching on the reality show this year. Neha Pendse is also one of the contestants who will be a part of the show. The actress became popular after her stint in Family Time With Kapil Sharma. In an interview with Pinkvilla, she spilled beans on why she is participating in the show and her strategy to survive in the house. Though she has made it pretty clear that she is not someone who would pick fights just for TRP she also said that she would not hesitate to call a spade a spade.

On being asked why she decided to participate in Bigg Boss 12, she said, "The major reason for me to enter the house is for people to know a different side to me. People have a certain mindset about me, they know me to be a very serious person as I don't party much nor am I overtly active on social media but there is more to me than what is imbibed in their minds. So I think Bigg Boss will give me an opportunity, although it is an extreme opportunity because a lot of extreme situations are going to be there. But, I guess, nevertheless, I don't think any other platform or show will give me the opportunity to showcase myself the way BB will give me."

This is how Neha plans to deal with controversies, "I think the right way to put it would be that if I genuinely feel something about a particular issue, I will deal with it. But, if I did not think that the situation is genuine and is only be done for TRP sake then probably I won't participate in it as much." Bigg Boss 12 Contestant Neha Pendse: Not Doing the Show to Get Work

The actress on being short-tempered, ""I am both. There are times when I surprise myself with the kind of patience I have shown and then there are times when I felt that I could have handled it easily but I made a mountain out of a mole. So, I believe it depends on the kind of situations you are put to. AS a person, I am very unpredictable because I am very moody. So, if I am in a mood to take your shit, I can surprise you with the amount of shit I can handle otherwise I am not sure." What are your thoughts on this?
