Pratyusha Banerjee

There are too many shows about Rajasthani families.

I like 'Pyaar Ka Dard Hai' on Star Plus. It not only has a good story but good actors as well.

Whatever work I have done in a very short span of time, like 'Balika Vadhu,' 'Kitchen Champion 4,' 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa,' and 'Bigg Boss 7,' has been great for me.

I have done good roles. I feel good about myself.

I became very patient. There are a lot of times when people who do not like you are talking about you and telling bad things on your face. In our personal life, we do get affected by such things.

No man is worth sulking over.

Whether I work or not depends on the family I get married to.

I want to work in films but without compromising on my dignity.

I think reality shows have changed me for the better. They bring out the best in you when you are under tremendous pressure. That apart, I have made some very good friends from these shows.

I love TV and am happy doing TV shows.

I wanted to show the world the real Pratyusha.

Just because people are older, they don't have the right to tell you what's right and wrong.

People are bound to comment, and that means they are following me.

My family supports me, since they trust me not to do anything wrong.

I connect with very few close friends in real life.

I liked models since I was 3 years old. As I grew older, I started developing a penchant towards makeup, pedicures, etc. I used to carry out the procedures at my home itself.

Getting married is a childhood dream for me.

Everybody thinks you're wrong and that you're a kid, and hence, you should shut up. Such reactions hurt me. I can think for myself.

The corruption doesn't cease, the crime rates don't come down, no matter which party comes to power.

I'd rather not think about the unpleasant side of the experience. 'Bigg Boss' is the biggest reality-show in India and perhaps in the world. I went into it on a clean slate.
