Bigg Boss OTT 2 has come to an end after nearly two months. The show was different this time around since its announcement. Salman Khan replaced Karan Johar as the host and more YouTubers were introduced to the show than any other.

From Lord Puneet being thrown out of the Bigg Boss OTT 2 house to protests for the same, Bigg Boss OTT 2 started on a crazy note. Just as things calmed down, entered Elvish Yadav as a wild card contestant. Known for his roast videos on YouTube, Elvish came with one single purpose - to irk as many contestants as possible to take some action. Before anybody knew it, this wild card contestant became a finalist and is a potential winner. If Elvish does win, he would re-write Bigg Boss history, for no wild card contestant who has entered the show ever became a winner.

YouTubers Abhishek Malhan and Manisha Rani bonded since the start of the show and have remained strong since. They are a part of the other group with Elvish, which, according to trends, is the most loved. They are likely to be among top three.

Cyrus Broacha, who also had a great start, unfortunately, had to exit the show due to medical conditions. Owing to his breakdown on the show, he never returned. Dubai-based Jad Hadid too reached a breaking point and was out of the race just before grand finale was about to begin. They were a part of the other group, which is now limited to Pooja Bhatt and Bebika Dhurve. Jiya Shankar was the last contestant from the group to leave the show.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Abhishek Malhan, who was a strong contender to Elvish, might be out of the race too. He had to give the grand finale a miss due to a medical emergency. Abhishek's sister made the revelation on social media.

On a brighter note, the night brings all the former contestants and their relationships to highlight through their performances. So, what are you waiting for? Know all that happened on the big night on Salman Khan's show...
