Sana Sultan Khan talks about her Bigg Boss experience

During her stint on Bigg Boss OTT, Sana's Urdu proficiency was put to the test. The show's host, Anil Kapoor, quizzed her on the meaning of complex Urdu words to verify the authenticity of her language skills. While she couldn't answer all of them, Sana confidently defended herself, asserting that even native speakers cannot be expected to know every obscure word.

A candid revelation about the show's dynamics also emerged during the interview. Khan claimed that contestants were deliberately kept hungry to induce 'hangry' behaviour, thereby creating more drama for the show. She shared a harrowing experience of consuming moringa juice to satiate her hunger, an ordeal that deepened her appreciation for food.

Her unique selling point, however, is her command of the Urdu language. Born into a Muslim family in Mumbai, Sana's fluency in Urdu has been a standout feature of her personality.
