Hira, Siavash bond over cultures

Siavash and Hira have bonded in a discussion over their cultures and how people in the UK perceive them.

According to The Sun, the pair took some time out to reflect after the excitement of five new housemates entering the Big Brother compound.

Hira told Siavash: "People ask me why I don't wear a hijab, or if I live in the same place as the Taliban.

"It's brave of us to come on here to represent our countries."

Siavash agreed with her comments and said that people always associate Iran with wars.

Hira also informed him that she was impressed she wasn't subjected to any racism during the reality show's audition process.

Siavash then backed his fellow housemates, telling her: "The people in here aren't angels, but I promise you there's no racism or judging of people."
