Bigg Boss 16 has now only five finalists - MC Stan, Shalin Bhanot, Shiv Thakare, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary and Archana Gautam. After Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia's eviction, the housemates were given a chance to interact with the media and answer their questions. In the latest promo of the show shared on Wednesday morning, the contestants are being grilled over their performances. Shiv Thakare, who was quite close to Sajid Khan, was questioned about being away from the limelight after the filmmaker's exit. “Sir, Sajid Khan jis tarah se aapko game khilate the, unke exit ke baad dikh hi nahi rahe aap toh (the way Sajid Khan used to involve you in games, you haven't been at the forefront since his exit),” asked a reporter. To this, Shiv replied, “Unhone meri cheezein suni hai, maine nahi suni hai ab tak (he heard and understood me but I haven't been able to do that till now).”
Shifting their focus to Priyanka Chahar, another reporter asked, “Jab asli muddo pe baat karne ki baari aati hai, aap mon vrat kar leti ho (you stay silent whenever a discussion around a serious topic goes on).” Priyanka, defending herself, replied, “Mujhe nahi lagta maine nahi bola (I don't think I have even avoided expressing my views on relevant discussions).”
Sharing the promo, the makers wrote: “Season ke top 5 karenge press ke mushkil sawaalon ka saamna (top 5 of the season will face difficult questions of press).”
In the previous episode, Nimrit Kaur got eliminated from the show after the live audience in the house voted her out. After her exit, the actress posted a video for her fans on Instagram, where she thanked them for supporting her throughout her Bigg Boss journey. She said it is “just a beginning” for her. “I am so so excited. I feel so free. I feel so proud of not just myself but all of you and I can't begin to start thanking you guys. Like I am seeing so much of love, so much that you all have done and I truly wanna say that this journey would not have been possible without any of you,” Nimrit Kaur can be heard saying in the clip.
The grand finale of Bigg Boss 16 will air on February 12 on Colors TV and Voot app.
