In 2015, Rimi Sen surprised everyone as she participated in Salman Khan's controversial reality television show Bigg Boss Season 9. She remained in the house for close to two months but was eventually voted out. During an exclusive interview, Rimi was asked about her Bigg Boss journey and whether she has any regrets about being part of the show. The actress revealed the reasons why she entered the show and also shared why she thinks Bigg Boss was an 'eye-opener' for her.
Rimi said in an interview that she was paid over 2 crore for spending around 50 days on the show. She said that most people have misunderstood the core principles of Bigg Boss -- while they think the show is about 'fighting', it's actually about putting one's true self before the world. She said, "See we do few things for fame and some for money. So I did Bigg Boss only for money. They paid me around 2.25 crore for 49 days and nobody can earn this much money in such a short time."

Rimi continued, "Most of the time people fail to understand the actual concept of Bigg Boss. The show is not about fighting and getting highlighted or giving content. This show is about getting your hidden personality out. Har kisi ke andar ek kharab shaks chhupa hua hai so usko bahar lakar vo dikhate hain ki (Everyone has a negative side to their personality, and the show brings that side out) he or she is the real person. And I found the concept very interesting when it got offered to me. They purposely create tasks in a way that your worst side comes out in public and that is something you have to have a hold on yourself."
She said that she stayed true to herself on the show and that her perception of Bigg Boss hasn't changed in the years since she participated in it. "I knew that I have come for money and I have to behave good and go out with a good image which I did. I was quite successful in doing that," she said.
