When I set out to do acting I said to myself, I’ll never do a reality show! When I was in India the opportunity came up and I thought, this is one of the biggest shows in India, hosted by Salman Khan, and with viewership of millions of people per episode! So it was a huge platform. I was the second ever Australian on the show and I thought to myself, well it’s not just about being on reality television, it’s about creating history and doing something different. I saw it as an amazing opportunity and it was actually incredibly challenging but I grew so much from that challenge and I took so much away.” ^[1]Khaleej Times

Controversy

Issues With Bigg Boss Co-Contestants

After Lucinda was evicted from the house in Bigg Boss 11, she complained about co-contestant Akash Dadlani invading her personal space and being extremely touchy. She mentioned being uncomfortable by how touchy he was. She also spoke about how he did not leave her alone despite her denying his efforts. She criticised him for asking her to kiss him in exchange for a vote in her favour. Speaking of her experience with him, she said,

In the starting it was fun. He used to make these songs but then he got nasty. It was dirty that he kept asking me to kiss him but I clearly said no. I felt I was being targeted. It feels good to be away from him though I would have liked being in the house and gelling with other contestants.” ^[2]mensxp
