The unexpected verdict of Bigg Boss OTT 2 has sparked intense discussions and divided opinions among viewers. Elvish Yadav emerged as the victor, but not without raising questions about the deserving winner.
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. Just as in the case of Bigg Boss 16, where rapper MC Stan's surprise victory raised eyebrows due to his strong fan base, Elvish Yadav's popularity and fan base contributed significantly to his win.

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.
