Samyuktha Hegde shot to limelight with the Kannada film Kirik Party and her next outing College Kumar was also a hit. The pretty actor is now all set to enthrall the television audiences by entering the Bigg Boss show through the wildcard entry.

Earlier, she was on the show as its host Kiccha Sudeep’s guest. The actor is keen on spending some time in the Bigg Boss house and she will be there for a week. It is a wild card entry for Samyuktha Hegde. The expectation from Samyuktha Hegde entry is that the programme would gather more popularity. If things go well, she will be extending her stay in the house, say sources.

It may be mentioned here that Samyuktha took part in MTV Roadies (season 15) (2017) as a contestant. Samyuktha’s performance in her debut movie Kirik Party received excellent reviews and she went on to win several awards for it, including the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress.

She is currently busy with the Telugu version of Kirik Party, which is being directed by Sharan, an erstwhile associate of director Sudheer Varma. On bagging the same role in the Telugu remake as well, Samyuktha had been quoted by the Times of India as stating, “It's not often in life that you get to play the same role twice. Kirik Party created such a phenomenon that it was hard to ignore and the makers are looking forward to creating history once more in Telugu. Since I have a neutral accent, I might even dub for myself. But yes, I'll miss my Kannada team.”

Directed by Rishab Shetty, Kirik Party is a Kannada film that had Rakshit Shetty, Rashmika Mandanna, Samyuktha Hegde, Achyuth Kumar and Pramod Shetty. It was made on a budget of Rs. 4 crores and went on to garner Rs. 50 crores.
