The Sasural Simar Ka actor continued, "Pehle personality ka show hua karta tha. Abhi jitna zyada aap content doge, utna zyada aap dikhoge ya aapko dikhaya jayega ya aap aage tak jaaoge. (Earlier it used to be a show about personality. Now, the more content you give, the more you will be seen and shown and that's how you will go ahead)."
He added, "Jaise ki maine pehle bhi bola hai ki abhi mai apne aap ko convince nahi kar paya hu agar kabhi aage aisa hua ki ha muje karna hai convince kar liya toh shayad kar lu par abhi filal ye reason hai". (As I said earlier, now I'm not convinced to do the show but maybe in future I might get convinced).
Shoaib concluded his response about Bigg Boss by saying, "Now it looks like someone is favored or humiliated. Something keeps happening. Personality can't be seen, and it's more about content now. Maybe I am wrong." On the work front, Shoaib Ibrahim last appeared on the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11.
