After Shalin Bhanot, Archana Gautam has been eliminated from Bigg Boss 16 house as well. With her eviction, the three contestants who are now competing for the trophy are – Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Shiv Thakare and MC Stan. While there is no official announcement so far, several reports claim that Shiv and Priyanka will be the top two contestants.
However, with Shalin’s elimination, the prize money has also been increased to Rs 31.80 lakh. Bigg Boss had asked all housemates to guess the next elimination. They rightly guessed Shalin and therefore, Rs 10 Lakh has been added to the prize money. This means that the total prize money is now Rs 31.80 lakhs.
If reports are to be believed, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and Shiv Thakare will be the top two contestants of Bigg Boss 16.
Hosted by Salman Khan, Bigg Boss 16 began back in October with Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Abdu Rozik, Ankit Gupta, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, MC Stan, Archana Gautam, Gautam Singh Vig, Shalin Bhanot, Soundarya Sharma, Shiv Thakare, Sumbul Touqeer Khan, Manya Singh, Gori Nagori, Tina Datta, Sreejita De, and Sajid Khan appearing as the contestants. Over the past four months and several eliminations later, fans have picked Priyanka, Stan, Shiv, Shalin, and Archana as the worthy finalists.
While we wait to see who the audience picked as the winner, a few former Bigg Boss contestants have made their pick. Most former Bigg Boss contestants, including Gauahar Khan, Tina Datta, and Rajiv Adatia are rooting for Priyanka to win, and Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia wants either Shiv or Stan to win.
Meanwhile, Shalin got support from his ex-wife Dalljeet Kaur. She not only expressed her wish to see him lift the trophy but also urged fans to cast their vote for him. While Archana also stands a chance to win the trophy this year, she has already won several hearts with her unfiltered speaking style.
It goes without saying that Salman Khan will be hosting the grand finale. However, his appearance at the grand finale also raises questions about his attendance at Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani’s wedding reception which is taking place alongside the Bigg Boss 16 finale in Mumbai. After all, Salman confirmed that Sid is getting married to Kiara when the actor appeared on the show to promote his film Mission Majnu.
