Bigg Boss 8: Celebrities open up before entering the house

Salman, who had refused to do the reality show agreed to do Bigg Boss on one condition that no contestant once eliminated would return to the show. If this demand was not adhered to, he threatened to walk out of the show. However, a week into the reality show and Sonali Raut is making her comeback in what seems to be a defiance of Salman Khan 's orders.

Some days back, when Sonali Raut entered the Bigg Boss house for the first time, she said that she had taken up the show for fun, excitement and to connect with the masses. “I am going to have some fun in the house. I’ve never before been in a situation where I have to share things but I’ll try to be more patient. However, I am not comfortable sharing a bed with anyone so I am not going to share my bed, come what may,” said Sonali.

She said, “I am so excited. I am a huge fan of the show and Salman Khan but when there were rumours doing the round that Salman will not host Bigg Boss 8, I was really disappointed but thankfully he’s back to hosting the show. I am looking forward to meet him and interact with him every week. A man always looks so hot in a uniform and this year Salman is sporting a pilot’s uniform. Oh my God he’s looking super-hot and sexy.”

When asked who is better at hosting a TV show, she says, “Oh my God, this is so tough. I always loved Salman Khan but I’ve to admit that after meeting Akshay Kumar I was floored by the man. He’s super charming. I’ve done swimming with his son so I know him. But if I have to choose between the two I would say, Akshay is married so I’ll spare him. I’ll go with Salman as he’s single. I just hate when people ask him about when he’s getting married, I just want to tell him please stay single and the way you are.”

The actress is not going with any agenda in mind but says she won’t tolerate anyone’s attitude. “I will try to stay positive in every situation but if someone tries to get unreasonable with me, I won’t tolerate.
