I'm seen as a fierce and opinionated woman post Bigg Boss: Hina Khan

Actor Hina Khan believes "Bigg Boss" helped her showcase her real personality, which is that of a woman who does not shy away from speaking her mind.

The actor became one of the most talked about contestants on the 11th edition of the reality TV show, which has just begun its new season.

"People look at me as a fierce, opinionated, different type of girl who doesn't shy away from speaking her mind. I've always been like this. I feel that's the way one should be," Hina told PTI.

"Be imperfect and make mistakes. People might judge you that time but in the long run, it'll be your work which will take you ahead. You'll be judged on the basis of your progress, they'll never remember these three and a half months," she added.

The actor says while contestants might go through a series of judgements inside the house, once out, it's their responsibility to make something good.

"I concentrated on my projects and did good work. I don't think your image can change forever through 'Bigg Boss.' Your image is in your own hands."
"So the ultimate goal of anyone, whether an actor or commoner is, when you get out of the house, you've to work otherwise you'll be forgotten. The show will give you platform but then you've to keep proving yourself."
