In the last Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan announced Bigg Boss OTT 2 is being extended for another two weeks. And now to pique up the interest of the audience, the makers will be introducing two wildcards. Actor-social media star Aashika Bhatia and YouTuber Elvish Yadav are said to be entering the BB OTT 2 house as the new contestants.

Taking to social media, the two hinted at their entry into the reality show. The Prem Ratan Dhan Payo actor posted a cryptic note on Instagram that read, “Life is about to change bigg time! Will be off social media for sometime. See you on the other side Love Aashika Bhatia”.

 

Elvish also took to social media to share a video about him entering the ‘house’. “So ab time aagaya hai ghar ka system change karne ka. So tumhara bhai.. main aaraha hu ghar ke andar ek ek ka system ko hang karne aur sabko bang karne. So see you guys there (It’s time to change the system of the house. Your brother is entering to rile up the contestant and the house).” He captioned the post, “Support Zaroor Karna.”

 

During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode on Saturday, Salman Khan lauded the contestants for entertaining the audience. He also informed them that since fans have been enjoying the show and getting the platform big numbers, the makers have decided to extend the show for another two weeks.

His statement got mixed reactions from the housemates as they tried to figure out their game plans for the extended period. With the show pushed for a fortnight, the new finale date is now August 13. Also, as per sources, evicted contestant Palak Purswani may also enter the show again as a wildcard along with Aashika and Elvish.

Owing to a family emergency, Cyrus Broacha had to exit the show recently. While initially there was a speculation it was a temporary exit, as per the announcement made by Bigg Boss in Monday’s episode, his exit marked the end of Cyrus’ journey in the reality show.

As per a statement shared by JioCinema, there was a medical emergency in Cyrus’ family. The statement read, “We regret to inform you that Cyrus Broacha had to take an emergency exit from Bigg Boss OTT 2 due to a sudden medical emergency in the family. As per Cyrus and his family’s request, we request you to allow privacy and understanding during this difficult period. Further details regarding the show will be shared in due course.”
