First of all, congratulations! How did you feel when you got the chance to enter the Bigg Boss house?

How does it feel to journey from the comedy stage to a reality show?

It feels great. This journey has been full of ups and downs. People often think comedy means just joking around and that it’s easy, but in reality, it’s not at all easy. If you try it yourself, you’ll understand how tough it is. I have given many years to this field and struggled a lot. During that time, I used to work a regular job and then perform (Pranit More Bigg Boss 19 age) stand-up afterward. Sometimes 5–10 people showed up, sometimes none. Sometimes the audience laughed, sometimes not at all. From those small stages to today, the journey has been long, but very special and fulfilling.

When you got the Bigg Boss offer, who was the first person you told, and what was their reaction?

I told my manager first, because I felt she was the right person for this. She is the complete opposite of me—she follows Bigg Boss religiously. She immediately said, “This you must do!” (Bigg Boss 19 Pranit More news)

Being a stand-up comedian, will we hear your jokes inside the Bigg Boss house too?

Of course, you will hear jokes, but whether they’re funny or impactful—that will depend on the audience. In stand-up, the audience comes specifically to listen to you, so they’re ready for jokes. But in the Bigg Boss house, the audience isn’t there just for me, so I can’t say how prepared they’ll be or how they’ll receive my humor. I’ll definitely crack jokes, (Bigg Boss 19 Pranit More updates) but it will depend on the situation and the people in front of me.

Do you think your sense of humor will lighten the house atmosphere, or might it offend contestants sometimes?

Yes, both things can happen. Humor usually lightens the mood, so most people enjoy it. But sometimes a joke can hurt someone. For example, what I find funny may not be funny to you or to a third person. These days, (Pranit More Bigg Boss 19 eviction) sometimes two people are joking, and a third person gets offended. Humor is very subjective, and it’s bound to hurt someone at some point.

In the Bigg Boss house, just entertaining is not enough, strategy is also needed. What’s your game strategy?

I don’t have any special strategy. Honestly, I don’t understand why people hype it so much, as if they’re going to war. The Bigg Boss house is like living in a hostel or a new environment with strangers. Even there, you don’t make strategies—you adjust, you talk, some things you like, some you don’t. Bigg Boss is the same, only the characters are different. Many contestants come with strategies and get eliminated in the first week itself. I believe being real is the best strategy, because that’s what people value most.

If fights happen in the house, will you lighten the mood with comedy, or openly take a stand?

That’s a tricky question. I have a habit—whenever a situation gets too serious, I start laughing. If someone overreacts or starts crying, I wonder why they’re doing it and I end up laughing. So in small fights, yes, I’ll definitely try to lighten the atmosphere with jokes. But if it’s a serious matter or a personal attack on someone, I won’t stay silent. At such times, it’s important to take a stand and (Pranit More Bigg Boss 19 entry) clearly say what’s right and wrong, so that people know there is someone who will speak up. And if I am wrong, then I want someone to hold a mirror to me as well.

What kind of contestants will be the hardest for you to deal with?

People who are too loud and constantly crave attention—I don’t get along with them in real life either. And people who don’t listen at all are even harder to deal with. Conversation means you talk and also listen, but some people only want to keep talking. It’s really tough for me to adjust with such people.

If you had to do an imitation inside the house, which celebrity would you mimic?

If it’s a celebrity, that’s a bit tough, but I think I could mimic Nana Patekar, since that feels easier for me than others.

In one word, what does Bigg Boss Season 19 mean to you?
Challenge!
