Ahead of entering the 'Bigg Boss 11' house, internet cringe sensation Dhinchak Pooja talks about battling anger issues
I'm not scared of anyone," says Pooja Jain aka Dhinchak Pooja as she gets ready to join Bigg Boss 11 as a wild card entry. Her claim to fame, if one may call it so, are her cringe-inducing songs like Selfie maine le li aaj and Dilon ka shooter that have gone viral less for their musical prowess and more for the entertainment value they provide. Given her attention-seeking behaviour, the YouTube star fits right in with the reality show.

She attributes her interest in the show to host Salman Khan. "Getting to meet Salman was reason enough to give my nod. I haven't seen all the episodes [of the current season]. So, I can't decide who is good and who isn't." Acknowledging that the series tends to bring out the worst in people, the pop artist says it will be a task for her to keep her cool. "I don't know how I'll react when I'll get angry. As it is, I have anger [management] issues. But I hope to solve everything with a positive attitude there."

Buzz suggested that Pooja was approached to be one of the contestants right at the start of the show. However, things did not work out as she allegedly demanded an exorbitant remuneration. Prod her on the subject and she says, "I was busy with my new song then and hence, could not commit to the show. When they offered me a wild card entry, I happily took it up because I was free." She views Bigg Boss as a stepping stone to Bollywood. "People say this show helps you get film offers. I hope that's true."
