Dubai-based
singer-actor
Ali
Quli
Mirza,
the
first
wild
card
entrant
of
Bigg
Boss
8,
says
the
reality
show
is
the
perfect
platform
for
him
to
promote
his
upcoming
film
'Roar'.
Ali
will
be
making
his
Bollywood
debut
with
the
Kamal
Sadanah-directed
thriller,
which
will
release
on
October
31.
The
actor
said
another
major
reason
for
him
to
join
the
TV
show
was
its
host
Salman
Khan,
who
had
launched
the
trailer
of
'Roar'
earlier.
"'Bigg
Boss
is
the
biggest
platform
for
any
actor,
singer
or
performer.
My
film
is
releasing
later
this
month.
So,
what
better
place
to
promote
my
film
other
than
'Bigg
Boss'?
Last
season
Elli
Avram
promoted
her
film
'Mickey
Virus'
from
the
house.
So,
that
is
one
reason
to
be
part
of
the
show.
Another
reason
is
of
course
Salman
Khan.
"I
consider
him
one
of
the
biggest
icons
present
today.
He
is
so
supportive
of
newcomers.
He
also
launched
the
trailer
of
my
film.
To
be
a
part
of
the
show
he
hosts
is
a
dream
come
true," Ali
told
before
entering
the
'Bigg
Boss'
house.
The
actor
said
he
is
well
aware
of
the
happenings
inside
the
house
as
he
regularly
watched
the
show,
which
is
currently
in
its
fourth
week.
"I
am
a
fan
of
the
show
because
of
Salman
Khan.
I
have
watched
episodes
of
previous
seasons
and
all
the
episodes
of
the
current
one.
So
yes
I
have
been
following
'Bigg
Boss'.
I
know
what
is
happening," he
said.
Ali
also
said
that
he
is
not
worried
about
the
fact
that
he
might
be
cornered
by
other
contestants,
who
have
been
in
the
house
since
day
one.
"I
don't
have
any
such
fears.
Besides
I
know
few
of
the
contestants
already.
I
have
worked
with
Arya
Babbar,
Diandra
Soares,
Karishma
Tanna,
Minnisha
Lamba.
I
also
know
Puneet
ji
and
Upen
Patel.
I
don't
have
any
strategies.
I
am
entering
the
house
with
the
sole
aim
to
entertain
the
masses,"
Ali
said.
