I seem to recall Ben and Tully (and maybe Layla?) being involved in some ambi pur party thing at the house last year too.

I think it's some event for a few competition winners to meet some housemates in the house.

'I'm unapologetically Indian': Big Brother's Priya reveals the racial backlash since leaving the house and says Australian television needs greater ethnic diversity

She finished fourth on this year’s season of Big Brother Australia, defeating some of the biggest personalities on the reality show.

And according to 27-year-old Priya Malik, staying true to herself and her cultural identity was a key to her success.

The Adelaide-based school teacher who entered the house wearing traditional Indian attire, said while she has experienced some racial discrimination since leaving the show, a greater sense of cultural diversity in Australian television is essential.

Proud: Big Brother's Priya Malik says she is proud of her Indian heritage and that Australian television needs more cultural diversity on its screens

‘I think Australian media does need a bit of ethnic diversity considering one in every four Australians are born overseas,’ she told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday from an Ambi Pur event on the Gold Coast.

‘I don’t think we see that very much when we watch TV,’ she said, explaining a true reflection of the nation’s multicultural mix is not always translated onscreen.

As the first housemate to enter the house this season, Priya decided to wear a traditional Indian dress for her onscreen debut.

And through her time on the show she said she was ‘unapologetically Indian’, with the motive to break racial stereotypes.

‘It’s not something I’m going to deny about myself,’ she said of her ethnicity.

‘I think your culture does shape you to a large extent.’

For the reality star who moved to Australia a few years ago with her husband Bhushan, facing racial discrimination after appearing on a national show was not unexpected.

Taking a stand: Through her time on the show she said she was ‘unapologetically Indian’, with the motive to break racial stereotypes

‘There has been a lot of race based comments on social media,’ she explained of the backlash since leaving the house.

But for the outspoken personality who hopes to return to teaching, looking at the positives and ‘concentrating on the love’ is her main focus.

‘The fact that I came fourth, that speaks for itself that people are very accepting of a person of a different colour on the TV screen.’
