‘Aren’t you guys modern?’
‘Aren’t you guys up to date?’<\/strong><\/p>\n

After getting noticed and how on Bigg Boss OTT 2<\/em>, Jad Hadid<\/strong> gets ready to raise temperatures on JioCinema’s reality show, Temptation Island<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Lebanese model, who is a single dad, hopes to build a real connection on the recently launched dating game show.<\/p>\n

Before entering the show, Jad tells Rediff.com<\/strong><\/em> Contributor Mohnish Singh<\/strong>, “I will not make myself trashy and jump from one woman to another.”<\/p>\n

Do you think you will be able to use the experiences that you gained on Bigg Boss OTT 2<\/em> on Temptation Island<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s a different concept. I cannot compare Bigg Boss<\/em> to Temptation Island<\/em> at all.<\/p>\n

That was 24 hours live streaming.<\/p>\n

Here, it’s a totally different concept of filming, recording and shooting.<\/p>\n

I am not planning anything. I am just going to let my heart lead me and see how things go.<\/p>\n

Will the audience see a new side of Jad in this show?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, definitely.<\/p>\n

People saw me in Bigg Boss OTT<\/em>. That was different because of the interaction and because of how things were in the house.<\/p>\n

Now the concept is not about surviving for food, or fighting and eliminating each other or hating each other or being aggressive to each other.<\/p>\n

Here, it’s all about love, all about creating connections, all about sharing a piece of you with someone else.<\/p>\n

So the whole approach has changed.<\/p>\n

Building a connection with someone is different.<\/p>\n

So the only food I am going to be fighting for is here is love, I think.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But will the audience see a filtered personality of yours?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before anything, I am a father.<\/p>\n

I have a daughter.<\/p>\n

I am a single man. I don’t have a girlfriend.<\/p>\n

I will not make myself trashy and jump from one woman to another.<\/p>\n

When one thinks of me, they tend to refer to the incident that Akansha (Puri<\/em>) and I had in Bigg Boss OTT 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We had shared a kiss during a task<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I am going to be the real Jad on the show — respectful, kind.<\/p>\n

Bigg Boss OTT<\/em> was different because everything was new to me and I was with people with different personalities, a different language, different cultures.<\/p>\n

I was trying to adapt as much as I could.<\/p>\n

I was trying my best to communicate and to connect with these people.<\/p>\n

I struggled, yes.<\/p>\n

I made some mistakes.<\/p>\n

I hope I can show people that that’s not me. I am discovering myself.<\/p>\n

What they will see now is different. You will see the love.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did participating in Bigg Boss OTT 2<\/em> help you professionally?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, I landed a lot of amazing deals, to be honest.<\/p>\n

A lot of big names approached me for TV series, movies and other reality shows.<\/p>\n

I can’t mention names, but you will find out by the beginning of 2024.<\/p>\n

I didn’t expect that much, but I had a feeling that this country would hold me in, that it’s going to give me love I haven’t seen anywhere else.<\/p>\n

And it did.<\/p>\n

Because I have lived in many countries… my hometown (Dubai<\/em>), or Spain when I was studying acting, or Paris or Italy…<\/p>\n

I’m not exaggerating or sugar coating, but for some reason, India feels like home.<\/p>\n

The love and support I got here is priceless.<\/p>\n

You are one of the most handsome contestants on Temptation Island<\/em>. Do you think your good looks will get you a lot of attention on the show?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t consider myself handsome, but thank you so much.<\/p>\n

I don’t like people seeing me that way.<\/p>\n

I like people to access more of my personality and heart and my character.<\/p>\n

We approach a lot of people because they are good looking, sexy, attractive… but when you try to speak to them and be close to them, you’re like, ‘No, no.’<\/p>\n

So I don’t consider myself handsome.<\/p>\n

I have charisma and people take that as beauty. But I let my heart get more involved with my charisma, more than just my looks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What kind of connection do you want to build on this show?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A genuine connection, for sure. An honest one.<\/p>\n

I should look at her and be able to have a conversation without saying a word.<\/p>\n

Have you seen the original series?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have, yes.<\/p>\n

When you want something, it comes to you, trust me.<\/p>\n

This is exactly what happened to me.<\/p>\n

I always wanted to be a part of a show like this. So when I got the call from my manager, I was shocked.<\/p>\n

I could not believe it.<\/p>\n

Do you think Indian audience is ready for a show as bold as Temptation Island<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You guys, as Indians, are underestimating yourselves, honestly.<\/p>\n

I mean why shouldn’t a show like this be in India?<\/p>\n

Aren’t you guys modern?<\/p>\n

Aren’t you guys up to date?<\/p>\n

Aren’t you guys outgoing and open?<\/p>\n

You are.<\/p>\n

Okay, India is a conservative country, yes.<\/p>\n

Let’s say, in the United States or any other country, a show like this works because that’s how that country is.<\/p>\n

But you are not like the States. You don’t show kissing scenes on streaming media like they do.<\/p>\n

So the show will definitely adapt to the country.<\/p>\n

But you guys are way more open than you think.<\/p>\n
