The show helped Miesha become popular in the television industry. When asked about going in the show, Miesha said in an interview,
You can’t say no to Bigg Boss. It is such a big opportunity. When I was offered I was like yes! yes! and was super grateful. I don’t think you can go prepared to a show like Bigg Boss because whatever you’ll prepare uska ulta ho sakta hai. I am going to be spontaneous and raw. And jo hoga, dekha jayega.”
