After a five-year gap, Sara Gurpal is back on reality television with Rise and Fall 2. The singer and actor, who participated in Bigg Boss 14, says her return is less about staying visible and more about giving herself the opportunity she missed the first time around. In an exclusive chat with mid-day, Sara opened up about her Bigg Boss experience, her health struggles inside the house and why she decided to return to the reality-show format.

Recalling her time on Bigg Boss, Sara revealed that she was dealing with a serious eye infection, something she feels was not adequately reflected in the footage. “I was so worried inside the Bigg Boss house, you don't see it in the footage. I had an eye infection and the eye would get filled with pus, and to clean that Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla would help me all the time,” she said.
