The third season of Bigg Boss OTT, hosted by the ever-charismatic Anil Kapoor, has been a platform for contestants to share their personal stories and struggles, often revealing poignant and deeply moving aspects of their lives. One such contestant, Poulomi Das, recently opened up about her harrowing experiences, which have resonated with many viewers.
Poulomi Das, an actress known for her work in the Indian television industry, shared a deeply personal story with fellow contestant Sana Makbul during a candid conversation. Poulomi revealed a traumatic event from her past that has significantly impacted her life. "I got engaged with someone in 2022. I had brain haemorrhage after that, so I don’t remember anything that has happened just before the brain haemorrhage," she confessed.
This revelation left Sana and other housemates visibly moved, as Poulomi detailed the severe impact the brain haemorrhage had on her memory and overall life. Forgetting such a crucial event like her engagement added an extra layer of emotional pain to her physical recovery.
Poulomi's story didn't end there. She went on to describe the professional challenges she faced following her health crisis. "One production house casted me in their show and replaced me overnight. They told me you are not fit. I am dark and I got rejected because I wasn’t fair. They told me we want North Indian look. I am from Bengali household. Muze nahi farak padta," she stated, with a tone of resilience and defiance.
Her struggle in the entertainment industry is, unfortunately, not unique. The pressure to conform to certain beauty standards, especially in a field as visual as acting, is immense. Poulomi’s experience with colorism and regional bias highlights a pervasive issue in the industry where fair skin is often preferred, and regional stereotypes can dictate casting decisions.
Despite these setbacks, Poulomi’s strength and determination to continue pursuing her passion are commendable. Her ability to speak out about these injustices on such a public platform as Bigg Boss OTT not only brings attention to her personal story but also sheds light on the broader issues within the industry.
Sana Makbul, listening to Poulomi’s story, expressed her empathy and support.
Poulomi’s story is a testament to her resilience in the face of adversity. Her journey, marred by health issues and professional setbacks, has only strengthened her resolve.
As Bigg Boss OTT 3 continues, stories like Poulomi’s add depth and authenticity to the show. They remind viewers that behind the glamour and entertainment, there are real people with real challenges. Poulomi Das, through her courage to share her story, has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on her fellow contestants and viewers alike, fostering a deeper understanding and empathy for the struggles many face in their personal and professional lives.
