Who is Hannah Chaddha?

Chaddha's parents are from South Africa and India but she is based out of Chicago. The professional hip-hop dancer calls herself "calculated, composed, and versatile" and has a very specific game plan in place. Talking to CBS ahead of the season premiere, she explained why cultivating personal relationships with everyone will be her first step once she enters the house.

"I don’t have to be everyone’s best friend nor do I want to be, but I fully intend on learning about everyone’s strengths and weaknesses. I won’t have a problem exploiting their weaknesses for my benefit and aligning myself with those whose strengths can compensate for my own shortcomings," Chaddha added. 



 

She may be one of the youngest contestants but also the wisest. She graduated from university at just 19-years-old. In an interview with The Bioethics Hub last year, she said how she has discovered her love for fashion and that has kept her going.

"I worked as a stylist at a boutique in Chicago last summer, and ever since then, I have dedicated myself to learning about the fashion industry and fashion itself," she explained and added: "As a hobby, I enjoy studying historical, modern, cultural, and contemporary fashion and applying the knowledge that I have gained to styling my friends and family members. I love drawing on inspiration in pop culture, digital media, nature, and my everyday life to assemble artistic looks for others and myself."



 

'Big Brother' Season 23 premieres on July 7 at 8/7c on CBS. The summer reality hit series will air three episodes every week. Beginning July 11, the show will return on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at the same time. For more information, check your local listings.
