Arun Srikanth Mashettey on bagging Bigg Boss17

When asked about being a part of Bigg Boss 17, Aru said, "When I received the call from makers, I thought someone was playing a prank on me. However, after a couple of calls, I met the makers but didn't hear from them for a long time and I sort of forgot about it. They only got back to me recently and informed them that I've been finalized."

Arun on preparations for Bigg Boss 17

"Honestly, there was not much to prepare for Bigg Boss 17, however, one thing I really worked on is to control my language (laughs). While gaming, I'm known for being spontaneous and that's how my stage name - Achanak Bhayanak was coined. Having said that, I think, inside the Bigg Boss 17 house, I'd work on my language and not say anything spontaneously."
