Elvish Yadav's victory was certainly a remarkable feat, making him the first wild card entrant to clinch the Bigg Boss OTT trophy.

Over the course of the season, he captured hearts with his entertaining antics, genuine connections, and enthusiastic participation in tasks.

However, a cloud of controversy hovers over his victory, with many supporters of fellow contender Abhishek Malhan claiming that he was the more deserving player based on his gameplay.

While the winner's crown adorned Elvish's head, it was the matter of fan following that seemed to have played a pivotal role.

NETIZENS CALL ABHISHEK 'MORE DESERVING'

Social media users chimed in with their opinions, echoing Shiv's sentiments. Many voiced their support for Abhishek Malhan, asserting that his strategic gameplay was 'more deserving' of the win.
