New Delhi, Dec 7 (IANS) Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds is the
latest celebrity to enter the 'Bigg Boss' house and says he is looking
forward to his stint on Indian television and is hoping to get an
opportunity to understand Indian culture.
'I don't know much about Indian culture. I know about it in bits and
pieces. Hope to learn about it more,' Symonds told IANS over phone from
Mumbai.
The sportsman, who will enter the house Wednesday, is well-versed
with the challenges on the field, but he is now looking forward to the
challenges inside the house.
'There are different challenges on the field, but challenges would be
different inside the house. Right now I am quite relaxed. I am going
inside the house with an open mind and take on challenges as they come. I
haven't planned anything,' he said.
'I have no expectations, I have come to make friends. It will be
challenging but at the same time it will be a lot of fun also. I just
want to enjoy the entire experience,' he added.
Symonds will be the second international celebrity to enter the
Colors' show after Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone. The 36-year-old
cricketer will enter the show as a participant. Symonds was in the news
when in 2008 he accused Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh of making racial
comments against him.
In the show, the contestants have to stay inside the 'Bigg Boss'
house without any connection with the outside world with 24X7 camera
surveillance.
The fifth season started Oct 2 with 14 contestants. Right now seven
are left - Sunny, Mahek Chahal, Juhi Parmar, Akashdeep Saigal, Siddharth
Bharadwaj, Shonali Nagrani and Amar Upadhyay.
All the contestants inside the 'Bigg Boss' house have to do
day-to-day chores on their own, whether it's cleaning or cooking.
Symonds admits he doesn't cook much, but is ready to help his inmates.
'I would be more than happy to help the people inside the house in
everyday work and cleaning, though I don't cook much. I know a little
bit of barbeque,' he said.
The episode showing his entry in the house will be telecast Thursday
