Natasa Stankovic on Bigg Boss: I didn't know what to do in the house (Exclusive)
walked the ramp at the Bombay Times Fashion Week earlier this year, marked her return to the runway after many years. What made the moment even more special, she shares, was the presence of her son, Agastya, who cheered her on from the sidelines.
'Stepping onto the ramp, I felt such a rush of emotions. I was a bit nervous, excited, and nostalgic at the same time. It was beautiful — like reclaiming a part of myself I hadn't visited in a while.'
She adds, 'It was Agastya's wish to come and watch the show, and he really enjoyed it. Later, he said, 'Mama, you were looking so pretty.' He keeps me grounded and reminds me to live in every moment. Yes, I want to get back to work now.'
Returning to the ramp stirred a sense of déjà vu for the actor and model. 'It took me back to the early days, when everything was new and exciting. But this time, I felt more present, confident, and powerful," she mentioned.
Does this signal more ramp appearances in the future? Natasa doesn't rule it out. 'When you love something, it stays with you. Stepping back into it reminded me just how much I love the art of it. That part of me is still very much alive.

So yes, if the right opportunity comes along, I'd definitely consider it," she adds.
Natasa has previously participated in reality shows like Nach Baliye and
Bigg Boss
8. Reflecting on her time in the Bigg Boss house, she says, 'When I was in Bigg Boss (2014), I came across as a very shy person who spoke less. Actually, it was more of a language barrier; I was not able to speak much Hindi then. Also, I felt one had to act in a certain way in the house. I just didn't know what to do. I didn't quite understand the whole concept of the show at that time. Of course, I don't regret anything that I have done.
Everything has its own timing, and I'm sure I have learnt something from every experience.'
