Jiya Shankar was eliminated from the Bigg Boss OTT 2 house on Wednesday. The TV actress walked out of the show, after getting the least number of votes, days before the finale. Jiya was nominated alongside Manisha Rani and Elvish Yadav for mid-week eviction. Jiya's close ally Abhishek Malhan got emotional after her was announced. In the video shared on Twitter, the duo are seen sharing a warm hug. A few seconds later, Jiya is seen leaving the house. The eviction unfolded after Bigg Boss gave contestants a task to go through the calendar of memories. Bigg Boss summoned the participants to the garden area where a big calendar of memories was placed. As Bebika Dhruve turned the pages of the calendar, it showcased photographs from the season's premiere to the finale week.
Moments later, it was revealed that the last page of the calendar will have a picture of the contestant, who will get evicted from the house. When Bigg Boss asked a contestant to come forward to turn the last page of the calendar, Abhishek Malhan said that he would do it. The YouTuber turned the page and the calendar featured Jiya Shankar's photo.
Before Jiya Shankar, Avinash Sachdev and Jad Hadid were evicted from the Bigg Boss house during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode. Pooja Bhatt, Abhishek Malhan and Bebika Dhurve had already secured their spot in the finale. Now, with Elvish Yadav and Manisha Rani, Bigg Boss OTT 2 has got its top 5.
The Bigg Boss OTT 2 grand finale will take place on August 14. The controversial reality show can be live-streamed on Jio Cinema. Jiya Shankar is known for her role in daily soaps including Meri Hanikarak Biwi, and Pishachini.
