The
past
few
seasons
of
Bigg
Boss
saw
participation
from
a
slew
of
celebrities
in
the
pursuit
of
resurrecting
their
professional
life.
But
Karishma
Tanna,
who
is
a
contestant
in
the
reality
show
Bigg
Boss
8,
says
she's
not
a
"jobless
actress" who
has
entered
the
show
to
"revive
her
career."

"I'm
not
some
jobless
actor
who
has
come
to
the
house
to
revive
my
career.
I'll
go
back
and
I'll
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do," Karishma
told
over
phone
from
Mumbai
before
entering
the
show,
which
went
on
air
Sunday.
The
contestants
have
to
stay
confined
in
a
specific
house
for
around
three
months
without
any
connect
with
the
outer
world.
And
this
year,
the
show
is
exploring
a
unique
aviation
theme.
Karishma
has
been
a
popular
TV
actress,
courtesy
shows
like
Kyunki
Saas
Bhi
Kabhi
Bahu
Thi
and
Koi
Dil
Mein
Hain,
and
on
the
big
screen,
she
was
seen
in
adult
sex
comedy
Grand
Masti.
Currently,
she
has
films
like
Tina
and
Lolo
as
well
as
a
southern
film
in
her
kitty.

So
how
does
she
plan
to
manage
the
three-month
break?
"All
the
movies
that
I
have
taken
up
either
release
or
start
shooting
next
year.
I
decided
to
enter
the
house
as
I
was
free
for
these
three
months,"
she
said.
The
actress
had
once
turned
down
the
offer
of
featuring
in
"Bigg
Boss",
but
this
year
she
decided
to
take
the
plunge
to
"experience
the
life
inside
the
house
that's
known
for
its
twists
and
turns".
"Along
with
the
experience,
I
also
wanted
to
overcome
my
fear
of
staying
without
my
phone,
my
family
and
being
disconnected
with
the
world.
And
not
to
forget
the
gruelling
task
of
dealing
with
so
many
contestants
and
politics
inside
the
house,"
she
said.
The
show
is
also
known
for
its
infamous
controversies.
And
this
was
also
one
of
the
reasons
why
Karishma
earlier
refrained
from
becoming
a
part
of
the
show.
"Negative
publicity
stopped
me
from
taking
up
the
show.
But
now
I
wanted
to
take
this
as
a
challenge.
No
matter
what
the
consequences
are
(positive
or
negative),
I
will
take
it
with
dignity,"
Karishma
said.
