Shreeja Dammu, who gained fame through her appearance on Bigg Boss, has opened up about her life struggles and job search in a candid interview. Participating in the ninth season of Telugu Bigg Boss, Shreeja showcased her resilience, although she faced backlash initially for her perceived overconfidence. Over time, her straightforwardness and unique gameplay won her a considerable fan base.
In a recent interview, Shreeja reflected on the trolling she received during her time on the show. She shared a particularly memorable incident where she donned a saree and carried trash bags, which led to a wave of online criticism. “People mocked me for looking like I was selling garbage. It was quite funny to me,” she said, adding that while she found humor in the situation, her father’s profession as a sanitation worker made it a sensitive topic at home.
Despite the challenges, Shreeja expressed happiness for having earned recognition through Bigg Boss. However, she revealed her disappointment regarding the way she was eliminated from the show, stating, “I felt hurt when I was sent home without being voted out by the audience. I cried, wondering why this happened to me.” She shared that the memory still stings, highlighting the emotional weight of her journey on the reality show.
On a personal note, Shreeja discussed her views on marriage and relationships. She emphasized the importance of compatibility, stating that if her future husband were to be a heavy drinker, she would not hesitate to part ways. “I want someone who is tall, has hair, and is financially stable,” she explained, adding, “I dream of a love marriage where my partner is utterly devoted to me.” Her candidness about these matters reflects her desire for a deep emotional connection.
When it comes to her personal style, Shreeja remains unapologetic. “I wear what I like, whether it’s shorts or t-shirts. It’s my life, and I dress for myself,” she asserted. Her ambition extends beyond reality TV fame; she dreams of owning her own home, a goal she regards as her biggest aspiration. “I have never felt truly happy until now. I wonder if life is moving forward at all,” she said, expressing a longing for peace and contentment.
Shreeja also revealed that she has left a lucrative software job, earning ₹2 lakhs, to pursue her passion for entertainment full-time. Now, she is back on the job hunt, eager to find a role that aligns with her aspirations. “I am actively looking for new job opportunities,” she concluded, showcasing her determination to carve out a fulfilling future while navigating the complexities of life in the public eye.
