Bigg Boss OTT 2 is set to welcome Mohammed Hassan Hadid, also known as Jad Hadid, as its first Arab participant. Jad is thrilled to be part of the show and has expressed his gratitude for the warm reception he has received in India. Here’s everything you need to know about this charming Arab personality.
Jad’s journey began when he was just three years old. His parents, going through a divorce and overwhelmed with stress and anxiety, left him on a neighbour’s doorstep in Lebanon, hoping that the neighbour would care for him. However, the neighbour eventually had to take Jad to an orphanage due to financial constraints when he was seven years old.
At the age of 13, Jad was discovered by a fast food chain on the street, which led him to feature in a TV commercial. Since then, he has been a familiar face on television, renowned as a model and actor in the Arab and European worlds. He has appeared in various soap operas, TV series, and has graced the covers of magazines and represented airlines.
Jad was married for five years and has a four-year-old daughter. Sharing his excitement about joining the show, he said, “I decided to participate in this show as I visited India for the first time as a guest invited by my sponsor and management to attend AR Rahman’s daughter’s wedding in Chennai. I have witnessed the immense love and support Abdu Rozik has received from India as a guest, and I genuinely hope to receive even one percent of that love.”
He continued, “Like Abdu, I didn’t have the opportunity to attend school. Instead, I walked every day to the library, spending hours immersed in books and listening to people talk about what they were reading. I enjoy meeting new people, experiencing diverse cultures, savoring different cuisines, and exploring new places. I am grateful for this opportunity to showcase the real me on such a grand platform and I extend my thanks to my sponsor and the Bigg Boss team for believing in me.”
Jad also shared, “I truly cherished the warm welcome I received in India, and I felt a genuine sense of connection with the close-knit families and rich culture. It’s something I never experienced in my own life, so I make an effort to dedicate my time and love to my daughter. In the world of acting, modeling, and social media, we are often judged for every move we make. Naturally, I feel that this show will give me a chance to show people what truly lies within. I have faced numerous challenges, experienced pain, love, loss, and success. It’s the love or hate from people that propels us forward in life. I hope to be a valuable addition to the show and, who knows, maybe find my own Miss India love story, as I find Indian women incredibly attractive!”
