Television actor Shardul Pandit has entered the most controversial show of the Indian Television industry, Bigg Boss season 14, as a wild card entry along with Kavita Kaushik as well as Naina Singh. In the latest promo, he can be seen flirting with the housemates and also having a verbal quarrel with Kavita Kaushik who became the captain as soon as she entered the fortress of Bigg Boss.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Shardul was asked about finding love in the house of Bigg Boss and if he is open to that, to which he was quoted saying, “If it happens, then yes. But I don’t really believe in that love that trends for a few days and then ends the moment the season is over.” On being asked about his strategy to play inside the house, Shardul confidently said that “I have survived life and that is pretty difficult. What I survived in the last one and a half years, I can vouch that anyone who goes through that would probably give up. I have already survived life, now I have to see how I will survive situations and people and tasks and a reality show.” He also spoke on how he believes everyone in the house to be his competition when he was asked if there is someone he thinks is the toughest competitor for him. Shardul mentioned, “Everybody. It would be foolish of me to decide, just by watching a telecast of two weeks, who is going to be my competitor. You can have your likes and dislikes in the show but you cannot say that this person will be my competition, because then, I am judging the others as too weak. I am a fan of the show, I have watched all seasons. When you think that ‘oh, this contestant is not doing anything’, next week, that contestant has taken over. So, you never know.”
Shardul made it to the headlines during the nationwide lockdown as he declared that he had to sell his car and go back to his hometown due to financial crisis. He also spoke about how he had to let go of work due to his health issues which ultimately dropped him under depression. However, with the help of a therapist and his friends and family, he was able to get well soon.
