Mannara Chopra got third place on Bigg Boss 17, and Munawar Faruqui won the show recently. In a recent interview with Bollywood Bubble, Mannara talked about her famous cousins, global icon Priyanka Chopra and Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra. She shared that even though her fellow contestants brought up Priyanka and Parineeti, she chose not to mention them on the show because she didn’t want to take advantage of her family connections.
Mannara Chopra told Bollywood Bubble on questions about not mentioning her popular cousins in Bigg Boss house, she answered, “So, basically ye meri life ka funda hai (this is my mantra in life), I don’t like to take advantage of being known through someone. When people started talking about it toh honestly mere mann mein ek hich aata tha ki (I would wonder), why are you talking about my family and everything?
I am Invited Because of My Personality, Says Mannara Chopra
She said that if I’ve been invited by the Bigg Boss platform, it is primarily because they like my personality and they wanted me to be there as Mannara. So, you talk about me. You talk about my films, my journey, mere se lado, mere se baatein karo, mujhse gappe maaro (I wanted people to fight me, gossip with me).”
Don’t Involve My Family: Mannara Chopra
Mannara further confronted, “Don’t involve my family because everybody has their own space in life and they (Priyanka Chopra and Parineeti Chopra) are also married, they have their own family. So, don’t involve them. I feel it looks kind of like a show-off ke aap apne aap ko kisi tarah portray kar rahe ho (I did not want to show off or portray myself in a certain way).
Mannara explained, I feel jitney celebrities’ aaye hai and our host Salman Khan sir, who represents our country on the international platform, aaj woh log jitna mujhe jaante hai, and they know me by my personality. So, agar har line mein kisi aur ka naam lungi toh accha nahi lagta (All celebs that came on the show and even host Salman Khan knew me because of my personality. So using someone else’s name would not look nice). That was my only reason.”
