Bigg Boss 13 is achieving a new level of excitement after the true faces of all the celebrity contestants are coming to fore. As the tense atmosphere inside the house rises, our curiosity to dive into the contestants' past is soaring. In the latest clip, Koena Mitra is seen telling Dalljiet Kaur about her love for taking risks and revealing where she had disappeared for the past few years.

During a conversation in the garden area, Koena told Dalljiet “I am tough.” Dalljiet agreed with Koena when she added“I have always taken bold decisions. I like taking risks.” Dalljiet, as though wanting a clarification, reconfirmed, “What do you like.” Koena repeated herself “I like to take risks and challenges.” Keen to know more about the whole context, Dalljiet asked “But what do you mean when you say risks?”

Koena then narrated her story to stardom and says “I was very young when I moved out of the house and started working. I mean, my parents would never have thought that I would ever move out of Bengal. Since my childhood, they thought that whatever I do, I will do it from there.”

Curious Dalljiet then questioned, “So, do you have a conservative family?” To which Koena replies “No, not at all. They are open-minded.” Dalljiet enquired, “Are they happy with what you do?” Here, Koena revealed where she had gone after she left India. “Yes, definitely they are happy with me and every single thing. I have a very simple family, they are not at all complicated. You see, even after coming to Bombay, I went to L.A., to a different country.”

On asking about whether she went there for a job, Koena revealed the unknown phase of her life and answered, “No, No. I was called for a screen test for a film. The project didn’t work out but then I got another film which isn’t complete yet.” Further talking about her international film, she told, “It’s called The Story of Naomi where I have played the title character of Naomi as a French girl. They are still waiting for some funds and the film is on hold. If it happens, it happens but I learned a lot there, I took training.”

Koena broke her silence and said, “I don’t plan things. I simply went for a screen test but I actually returned after 4 and a half years. I felt so good there, everyone is so independent. I liked their lifestyle a lot but at the same time, I would say that I can’t settle outside India. I can’ leave India.” Dalljiet agreed and added, “And if one has grown up in India then it’s very difficult. An Indian who has grown up there and wants to settle can do that.”
