There were several performances in the finale. Mandli - Shiv, Nimrit, Sumbul, Sajid, MC and Abdu - danced to thrilling songs, while Priyanka and Ankit delivered a mushy performance. In fact, rivals on the show, Shiv and Priyanka, also performed a parody.

Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel introduced their film Gadar 2 on the show. Salman Khan launched the first song from his upcoming film, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Apart from that, each finalist was shown heartfelt messages by their loved ones.

Bigg Boss 16 Journey

Bigg Boss 16 started in October 2022 with 16 contestants that entered the house. The list includes Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Shalin Bhanot, Shiv Thakare, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Sumbul Touqeer, Sajid Khan, Abdu Rozik, Tina Datta, Manya Singh, Archana Gautam, Soundarya Sharma, MC Stan, Ankit Gupta, Sreejita De, Gautam Vig and Gori Nagori.

This season was filled with fights, fashion, comedy and drama. Every episode has one or two contestants fighting among themselves to get themselves trending on the Internet.

Bigg Boss 16 Finalists

There were six people who made it to the finale week until Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia was evicted. However, the actor did not leave the show before sealing the deal with director and producer Ekta Kapoor’s next film.

Here is a closer look at our finalists.

Shiv Thakare

Shiv Thakare hails from Amravati and has won many reality TV shows before Bigg Boss 16. He has raised trophies for The Anti Social Network and Bigg Boss Marathi season two.

Thakare’s journey in the 16th season of Bigg Boss has been a roller coaster ride. His fight with Archana Gautam led to her eviction because she got physical with him. So far, Shiv had been one of the favourite contestants of the viewers. He was also estimated to win the show.

Archana Gautam

Gautam is a politician and actor. It would be an understatement to say that she saw ups and downs in the show. Archana was the drama queen who got in a fight almost every day with one or the other person on the show.

There is nary a contestant in this season with who Archana Gautam did not fight. While the kitchen was her favourite spot, she loved to flirt with Bigg Boss too.

MC Stan

MC Stan is a rapper who made a big name in Bigg Boss 16. He enjoys a following of 7.7 million on Instagram and got a chance to perform in the BB house around New Year 2023.

Stan was also among the most loved contestants on the show. However, his fights with Shalin Bhanot have got him in trouble a few times with host Salman Khan.

No matter what people might have claimed, Priyanka was one of the few players who voiced her opinions out in the open. She was one of the boldest characters in the history of Bigg Boss.

After Ankit’s exit from the house, she seemed to be lost but found her footing quite quickly. She fought with grace, no matter who was standing opposite her.

Shalin Bhanot

Shalin Bhanot was the most confused contestant on the show. He was also called ‘fake’ by other contestants as well as fans of Bigg Boss. His dynamics with Tina Datta brought him enough limelight, but he did not shine as others did.

However, the actor’s wit and cleverness got him this far. He had fights with many on the show, including tiffs with Salman Khan and Bigg Boss himself.
