Mahhi Vij 'Loves' Bigg Boss But Won't Participate

Mumbai: Actress Mahhi Vij said that she will not participate in a reality show like Bigg Boss.

Mahhi, best known for playing the role of Nakusha in Laagi Tujhse Lagan, has participated in reality shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and Nach Baliye.

"I love to watch Bigg Boss. It's my favourite show but I can't be a part of it. I can't leave my family because I can't do without talking to them. It will be quite challenging for me," Mahi told PTI.

The actress, who last featured on the seventh season of Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi with husband actor Jay Bhanushali, will be seen next in Balika Vadhu... Lamhe Pyaar Ke.

Mahhi said that she took time to do a fiction show after Laagi Tujhse Lagan ended in 2012.

"I couldn't get anything which would get me out of my comfort zone. I was very comfortable at home. But this show did pull me out of it. I did Fear Factor because it was for a short span. I was travelling with my husband for the show, so it was good thing," said Mahhi.

"But doing a fiction show is definitely a little pressurizing, as a wife and not as an actress. Because there is a system at home, everything happens accordingly. But now, even that is getting sorted out. Jay is doing half of the things and I do the other," added Mahhi.

Balika Vadhu...Lamhe Pyaar Ke will be a new chapter in the television series and will chronicle the journey of Anandi's daughter, Nandini (played by Mahhi) who is a doctor. Mahhi is aware that it will be a challenge to retain the loyal audience of the show without the flagship character of Anandi, but is confident that the show will be successful.

"Yes. Obviously it will be a challenge because the audience has been used to watching the character which has become iconic. To make sure that the audience who loved it doesn't go anywhere else, will be a challenge. But I hope that they love me as much as they loved Anandi," said Mahhi.

Balika Vadhu... Lamhe Pyaar Ke also stars Ruslaan Mumtaz and Avinash Sachdev.
