Koena Mitra is back in the business after staying in the oblivion for quite some time. She is participating in Salman Khan’s controversial reality show Bigg Boss 13. The actress gained fame with her Saki Saki number from the film Musafir which is still remembered today and is recreated featuring Nora Fatehi. However, people liked Koena’s version better. Now, with Bigg Boss she is planning to re-enter Bollywood after staying away from the limelight for long.
In a recent interview, ahead of entering the Bigg Boss house, Koena revealed that she was offered several sec comedies but refused to accept them. She said, “I have been offered many sex comedies, but I don’t see myself standing with a carrot, a lauki or a baingan on a poster. The idea isn’t just to be seen on screen or hoardings.”
Talking about her Bollywood career she said, “First of all, that’s not a plan as I will do it anyways. Bigg Boss will help me reach out to and connect with a wider audience, who may never go to a theatre to watch a film. I have worked with big banners, however, I have not had dignified or exciting offers in recent times."
Koena applauded the film industry as well and said, “The film industry is extremely kind and welcoming, and never stopped offering me work. I may not have taken something up because of creative disagreements or quality of work.”
