In a heartfelt conversation on Bharti Singh's podcast, Mahira spoke about her dreams, career aspirations, and reflected on her time in the Salman Khan-hosted reality show.

The conversation kicked off with Bharti Singh acknowledging that 'Bigg Boss 13' was one of the most successful seasons in the show's history. However, she pointed out that despite its popularity, the contestants faced a dry spell in their careers due to the COVID-19 lockdown, which halted opportunities for almost a year. Bharti further noted how several artists in later seasons seemed to replicate the 'Bigg Boss 13' contestants. Citing an example, she said she initially believed Abhishek Kumar was trying to emulate Sidharth Shukla in the season he participated in.

Bharti went on to share that it was only after working with Abhishek on 'Laughter Chefs' that she realised he wasn't imitating anyone — he was genuinely short-tempered by nature. Responding to Bharti's observation, Mahira also reflected on her own 'Bigg Boss 13' journey, recalling how young she was when she joined the reality show.

"I Was Literally Growing Up During the Show..."

Mahira Sharma said, “Agar ab jaati toh shayad ladti bhi naa. I was young at that time. Barely in my early 20s, and I was literally growing up during the show. With experience and maturity, I have realised that ‘never say never'. At that time, I used to feel toh kya hua, main bacchi hu par mere mein dimag bohot hai. But I believe you get mature with experience and age. Tabhi toh lagta tha kuch bhi bol sakte hai, but now with age I have realised."
