Bani J took 10 years to return to Roadies after Bigg Boss: ‘Was dealing with a lot of things’

Bani J, a former MTV Roadies contestant and Bigg Boss participant, returned to the reality TV scene after a 10-year hiatus. She began her journey in 2006, winning the first season of Roadies and hosting it for several seasons. In 2016, Bani J appeared on Bigg Boss 10 but left the show feeling traumatized. She took a decade-long break from reality shows, focusing on her acting career.

Now, as a gang leader on Roadies Rebirth, Bani J expressed admiration for the improved quality of contestants, noting their education and successful careers. She also addressed the pressures of being a gang leader and the challenges of working with other gang members, particularly the perceived favoritism towards male gangleaders.

Bani J revealed that she took a break after Bigg Boss due to personal issues, including her mother's illness, and felt the intensity of the show was isolating. Rumors about her romantic involvement with fellow contestant Abhishek Malhan and Baseer Ali were dismissed by Bani J, who explained that they were misunderstood reactions to content that highlighted disturbing views towards women.
