Sonali Raut hopeful of 'The Xpose' through 'Bigg Boss 8'

Model-turned-actress Sonali Raut, whose Bollywood debut film "The Xpose" failed to give her the recognition she had hoped for, expects good visibility through the reality show "Bigg Boss 8".

She says the sensuous grey character that she played in the movie "The Xpose" went against her.

"Very frankly, Bollywood was not very welcoming. I played a character with grey shades and that went against me. Bollywood still favours the sweet goody-goody girl", Sonali said before entering the reality show.

But she makes it clear that her career disappointment is not what has led her to "Bigg Boss 8", which is hosted by Salman Khan.

"I am here to have fun. And my biggest incentive is Salman Khan. I’ll get to interact with him. I performed with him on the opening night to the song 'Jumme ki raat'. As far as I was concerned, that was paisa vasool for me", she said.

She is also hopeful to "get a certain amount of visibility through this show".
