Mumbai, December 07: Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds is all set to enter the Bigg Boss 5 house on Wednesday.
This is the first time that an international cricketer will enter the reality show.
Even though a language barrier stands between him and his ability to win the hearts of the viewers, Andrew is certain that it will not prove to be a problem, given that he is already a household name.
He tells Rajul Hegde why he decided to enter the show.
What made you take up Bigg Boss?
I decided to take up Bigg Boss as a challenge. India has been good to me and I have been traveling to India for over 20 years.
I have not seen any of the previous episodes because I don’t want to enter with a biased opinion of the housemates. I hope to have a lot of fun inside the house and learn more about Indian culture that I find very fascinating.
I am also looking at this as an opportunity to showcase the Australian culture which involves fun activities like barbecues and throwing people into the pool! While playing cricket, we have to be serious about the game but in the house, I will be relaxed.
