Why did Sai Ketan Rao choose Bigg Boss OTT 3?
We asked Sai Ketan Rao about the reasons he agreed to do Bigg Boss OTT 3 when he was already at the peak of his career. To this, the Imlie-fame said, "I have done three TV shows till now and uske saath saath maine web series bhi ki hai (along with that I have also done web series). Worked in Telugu language, too. So, I wanted something different. Because people know me by my character."
He went on to add, "Main kabhi bhi bahar jaata hun (whenever I go out), maybe some shopping or with friends, people recognize me with the characters I have played. But now I want people to know my name. I wanna tap in those people who don't watch TV serials also. Because reality show has a different kind of ambience, different kind of audience outside."
