Shamita, on 'being herself' on the Indian version of the show that made her sis famous

Among the oddballs and have-beens who entered the Bigg Boss house last night, is Shamita Shetty. Her elder sister Shilpa Shetty won UK's Celebrity Big Brother, the original format of the reality show in 2007. It proved to be a life-altering experience for her. Hours before entering the house in Lonavla, Shamita spoke about her decision to tread her sister's path, albeit in the desi version of the show...

Are you trying to emulate your sister yet again? First acting and now being a reality show participant like her?
I know there are going to be comparisons. I have braced myself for it. But I am not trying to emulate my sister. I can't be her. What she did was remarkable, but now it is me and I don't know what will happen. I will take each day in the house as it comes.
