Salman Khan`s much-talked-about reality show Bigg Boss OTT season 2 has come to an end. It started with 13 contestants including Abhishek Malhan, Pooja Bhatt, Cyrus Broacha, Manisha Rani, Akanksha Puri, Avinash Sachdev, Falaq Naaz, Palak Purswani, Bebika Dhurve, Aaliya Siddiqui, Jiya Shankar, Jad Hadid and Puneet Superstar. The makers introduced two wild card contestants mid-season. They were Elvish Yadav and Aashika Bhatia. The former went on to join Abhishek, Pooja, Bebika and Manish in the finale and eventually won the trophy.
Elvish, a YouTuber, gave tough competition to Abhishek. The latter, also known as Fukra Insaan, survived the odds inside the house for 8 weeks and ended his journey as the first runner-up. Even though he didn`t win the trophy, the social media star won the hearts of the audience with his clear, straight and valid talks and arguments with the housemates.
