Now, one of the reasons why some of the fans feel this is happening is that after Bigg Boss 15, there has been no face from the TV industry who has emerged victorious on the show. Bigg Boss 16 was won by rapper MC Stan while Bigg Boss 17 was won by stand-up comedian and singer Munawar Faruqui. Youtuber Elvish Yadav won Bigg Boss OTT 2. This seems to have irked many fans of the TV industry who want their favorite celebs to appear on Bigg Boss. Some TV actors seem to feel that the show’s format might not be suitable for them and might make matters worse. For the unversed, actress Ankita Lokhande was also trolled during her stint on Bigg Boss 17. Well, let us hope that after TV actress Sana Makbul winning Bigg Boss OTT 3, this perception might change and we might see some TV faces appear on the show.
