Just how much does Chandrika Dixit, aka 'vada pav girl', earn in a day? As per a Pinkvilla report, the social media personality, who was introduced as one of the Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestants during the reality show's premiere on Friday, opened up about her business on the show.

Inside the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house, Chandrika revealed earning ₹40,000 per day by selling vada pav, which surprised her co-contestants, according to the report. Chandrika, who shot to fame overnight for selling Mumbai's iconic street food, vada pav, in Delhi, recently arrived in Mumbai with her family to compete on the show.

'People have this perception about me being rude'

Before entering the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house, Chandrika spoke with Pinkvilla about why she was doing the show, being trolled and more. She said, "People are meant to comment. Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna. (People are bound to say something or the other). Often, people comment on others' lives without knowing about their stories and struggles... It is very amusing to me as people make perceptions about me so quickly, without knowing anything about me. I never do that for anyone else. How can you simply judge people without knowing them?"

Chandrika also spoke about why she accepted the offer to appear on Bigg Boss OTT 3. She said, "People have this perception about me being an extremely rude and angry person. With my participation in Bigg Boss OTT 3, I want to make sure that I portray all emotions and that the viewers watch different shades of my personality. People have seen me bursting out in anger. However, they don't know the reasons behind my anger."
