Nyrraa Banerji on her friends encouraging her to do Bigg Boss 18
When asked if her friends, especially Nishant Malkaani, encouraged her to say yes to Bigg Boss 18, Nyrraa Banerji said in Hindi and English, “He has been a pillar of strength for me. And yes he was the one who forced me to go to Bigg Boss. He said, ‘You know what Nyrraa, you should, should, should go.’ Even Paras told me I should go too, and Shiv also.” She continued, “I am taking the names of these three because they have always motivated me to go. My other friends haven’t pushed me to go as much as they did. Shiv Thakare, Paras Chhabra and Nishant have always told me, ‘Go, this show will change your life and personality.’ They have advised me to be as I am always because they like me a lot.”
She continued, “They know me personally as well right, and they said you fit the show. You will inspire a lot of people and people will love you. So these guys have encouraged me a lot to join the show. So if my closest friends – who have been ex-contestants of the show, have so much confidence in me then I shouldn’t feel afraid.”
Nyrraa on dealing with comments regarding her bond with Nishant
Talking about whether or not she gets affected by people talking about her bond with Nishant Singh Malkaani, Nyrraa said, “See earlier I used to feel irritated but now I don’t care anymore. And I don’t care because even this will die down after some time. There is nothing that will stay permanently in your life. Dogs also bark only for some time on the road, after a while even they will get tired. So it doesn’t matter. It’s okay. It’s okay, it’s just a phase, it will pass.”
