Bigg Boss 16: Is Archana Gautam the next Rakhi Sawant?

Rakhi Sawant was the star of Bigg Boss till season 15 and this year on Salman Khan's show, there appears to be a replacement in the form of Archana Gautam.

Bigg Boss 16 - Archana Gautam.

Bigg Boss is synonymous with one name - Rakhi Sawant. The celebrity has entered Salman Khan's show as herself and Julie more times than anybody can count. Since this season was missing her, we see a newer contestant, named Archana Gautam, who is trying to be the next Rakhi Sawant.

The proof was of her act on the night of day 12. Archana turned a ghost in order to scare her roommate Shalin Bhanot. This is something that Rakhi pulled off last season itself. She scared the winner Tejasswi Prakash in more ways than one.

Rakhi is known for two more things apart from Julie - her talkative/arguing nature and entertainment package. Archana is just as entertaining as Rakhi this time around. Right from making jokes on herself to arguing with most housemates and yet being friends with them, Archana has done it all this season.

If Rakhi from Bigg Boss 15 was seen abiding in Tejasswi more than anyone, Archana tried getting close to many females in the house. She was seen getting close to Manya Singh, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and more recently, Sreejita De.

The other similarity is in how the housemates treat Archana. Remember the bond between Rakhi and Karan Kundrra? We see something similar between Archana and Shalin this time around. She bashes him for demanding a lot of chicken behind his back and on his face, Archana has frustrated Shalin by saying that she cannot sleep till someone doesn't talk to her. That makes her just as entertaining and Rakhi-Karan in Bigg Boss 15.

These instances beg the question - is Archana the next Rakhi Sawant? Her actions and circumstances sure indicate that. What do you think?
