Bigg Boss is all set to make a comeback and we cannot wait! It is one of the most loved reality shows in the country and so are some of its contestants. While most of them, might not have won the BB trophy, they definitely won hearts. Ahead of Bigg Boss 16’s release, we thought of giving a shoutout to these public favourites. Let’s take a look at the nine most popular Bigg Boss contestants and what they’re doing now.
Most Popular Bigg Boss Contestants & What They’re Doing Now
Here are the most-loved Bigg Boss contestants who didn’t win the show but still live in our hearts rent-free:
Asim Riaz
Model-turned-actor Asim Riaz gained massive popularity after he appeared on Bigg Boss 13. He was known for his rivalry with Sidharth Shukla and his love angle with Himanshi Khurrana. Despite his aggressive nature, the audience still loved to see him in the house. He ended up becoming the first runner-up and went on to bag several music videos after the show. He’s highly active on social media now and loves sharing his fitness journey.
Hina Khan
Hina Khan was already a household name before she entered the Bigg Boss 11 house. Since she was so loved for her character in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, the audience was certain she would bag the trophy. However, she emerged as the first runner-up. But as they say, all is well that ends well. The actress is slaying in her professional life. She even represented the country at the Cannes Film Festival and won hearts.
Shehnaaz Gill
Who doesn’t know Shehnaaz Gill now? The Punjabi actress and singer gained massive popularity after her participation in Bigg Boss season 13. She was known for her candour, honesty, and her love angle with Sidharth Shukla. The audience fell in love with her innocence and childlike nature. She always made her presence felt onscreen and filled the BB house with so much of life. The actress appeared in many music videos after the show and has quite a few Bollywood films in her kitty now. Way to go, Shehnaaz!
Aly Goni
While Aly Goni was already a known face on the small screen, it was his stint on Bigg Boss 14 that gained him a lot of love. His beautiful bond with Jasmin Bhasin during the show made him even more popular. Although he appeared on the show only to support Jasmin, he ended up making his place in the game. Currently, the actor is busy with music videos and is making the most of his time by travelling.
Vikas Gupta
Vikas Gupta was someone who spent most of his life behind the scenes, but his smart game-playing in the Bigg Boss 11 house made him popular among viewers. He got famous for planning and playing mind games which gained him the title of ‘Mastermind’. Vikas reappeared on the show in season 14 and once again proved that he is called the ‘BB mastermind’ for a reason.
Manu Punjabi
Manu Punjabi appeared in season 10 of the show. He single-handedly proved Bigg Boss is not a game of strength but that of the mind. His strategies in the show were on point and made him popular as a witty contestant. He is currently a Youtuber and makes Bigg Boss review videos.
Rakhi Sawant
At this point, Bigg Boss seems incomplete if Rakhi Sawant doesn’t make an appearance. She gained so much popularity after Bigg Boss 1 that she even got invited to Koffee With Karan. The audience enjoyed her antics and her dramatic tactics. She appeared again in season 14 and then again in Bigg Boss 15 with her alleged husband, Ritesh Singh. In all the seasons, Rakhi’s outrageous behaviour and fights made her the highlight of the show. She is currently making headlines with her boyfriend, Adil Khan Durrani, and the two acted together in a music video recently.
Umar Riaz
Following Asim Riaz’s footsteps, bada bhai Umar Riaz also participated in Bigg Boss 15. He created his identity after appearing on the show and impressing the audience with his game. A doctor by profession and an actor-model by interest, Umar’s journey on Bigg Boss 15 was sensational. He was also the most googled contestant of the season. Currently, Umar has been modelling and has appeared in a few music videos.
Arshi Khan
Arshi Khan has been a part of the show not once, but twice! Her ability to create drama and start fights in seasons 11 and 14 kept her in the headlines. Post her stint on the show, Arshi appeared in a few serials. She’s currently modelling and has also appeared in a few TV shows.
