Manish Goel on entering Bigg Boss 20 as a wildcard

“I was not called for the initial part. I was specially called for the wildcard only, and yes, I wanted to explore it. I'll be very honest. It's been 20-25 years since I have been working in television, and I feel that people don't know the real side of Manish Goel. They know my characters. From Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii to Anupamaa, the graph has been amazing. God is very kind. But I have been very secluded in my life. I have been very private. So, I think this is the time when people will actually get to know me,” says Manish about entering Bigg Boss 20 as a wildcard contestant.
