Aishwarya was offered Bigg Boss during Khatron Ke Khiladi 13. After Khatron Ke Khiladi 13 finished, both of us went on a vacation for two months. Once we were back, Aishwarya gave it a thought and by the time even I received a call. Once I received the call, the prospect of us being together on the show came on board. We were kind of thinking about it. After a few discussions, we said yes."

Neil talks about his preparation for Bigg Boss 17

"I have not prepared anything being very honest. I don't know what to prepare for. How do I prepare mentally? Talking about physical preparation, I have been fit but I don't know how much this fitness will help in the show. Whatever tasks I get I will do. I try to give my 100% to anything I do, "he said.
