After leaving the popular TV show "Anupamaa," actress Muskan Bamne aimed to take her career to the next level, and she saw "Bigg Boss 18" as the perfect opportunity.
Her role as Pakhi in the Hindi drama lasted from 2020 to 2023, and it marked her acting debut in 2017 alongside Shraddha Kapoor in "Haseena Parkar."
"It ('Bigg Boss 18') is a huge opportunity. When I left 'Anupamaa', I thought I should look for something which would up my level. I have done TV, ads and some movies. Why not do a reality show? Then 'Bigg Boss' came to me. So, I thought, let's do this," Bamne told PTI.
The 25-year-old actor said she left "Anupamaa", fronted by Rupali Ganguly, as she was not ready to essay the role of a mother on screen.
"It is such a big show, people love it. But I was not comfortable playing a mother. I had decided that if they show the baby of my character, I will not continue with the show. After the leap, it became obvious they will show a baby. So, I took the decision (to leave)" she added.
The 18th season of Bigg Boss, hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, aired on Colors TV on Sunday night.
