Bigg Boss OTT 2: Manisha Rani Recalls Running Away From Home And Working As A Waitress And Background Dancer

'Bigg Boss OTT 2' contestant Manisha Rani opened up about her life struggles in the latest episode. Manisha recalled running away from home as her father didn’t allow her to dance.

New Delhi: 'Bigg Boss OTT 2' premiered on June 17 and the contestants are opening up to each other and sharing their lives. After Pooja Bhatt spoke about her battle with alcoholism and Aaliya Siddiqui recalled her love story with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, another contestant of the house Manisha Rani opened up about her life struggles in the latest episode. 

While talking about her life, Manisha recalled running away from home as her father didn’t allow her to dance and then worked as a waitress and a background dancer in Kolkata. 

"When I ran from home, I went to Kolkata. I wanted to learn to dance and my father was not allowing me, So, I wrote a letter to my father and I ran away with a friend. I wrote to my dad, "Maaf kijiyega humko (please forgive me). I got into a train without a ticket. I was so fearless that I did not fear getting arrested, I would sit in the lockup for 2 hours. In fact, we would not even buy Rs 5 platform tickets in Kolkata. I stayed in a house that was in such a bad condition, I don't think today any of my family members would be able to live. The house was in bad condition and had mosquitos, and would not be able to sh** also because of the mosquitos,” she said. 

She also shared about working as a background dancer. 

"I didn't want to return home. I wanted to stay in Kolkata and survive at any cost. That was the time when I worked as a background dancer and waitress at weddings. I would wear white shirt and black trousers and stand for 8 hours. We would see fancy food in front of us but were not allowed to eat. I would stand for 8 hours as a waitress and stare at the delicious food. But I must tell you (Jitna bhi dhukh ho kam*** toh hum bachpan se the). We would sit down in turns and quickly taste some of the food items. I will never forget Kolkata because my journey started from there," she added. 

'Bigg Boss OTT 2' started with celebrities like Pooja Bhatt, Cyrus Broacha, Aaliya Siddiqui, Avinash Sachdev, Palak Purswani, Puneet Superstar and more. Puneet was evicted on the first day.
