Jiya Shankar, a participant in Bigg Boss OTT 2, faced elimination on Wednesday due to receiving the lowest number of votes. Her departure occurred just days before the impending finale. The eviction nominations initially included Jiya Shankar, Manisha Rani, and Elvish Yadav as a result of a task at the beginning of the week. The finalists now set to compete in the finale are Manisha Rani, Elvish Yadav, Pooja Bhatt, Abhishek Malhan, and Bebika Dhurve.
During a recent interview with India Forums, Jiya Shankar delved into her experiences and relationships within the house. She opened up about her friendship with Abhishek Malhan, acknowledging his consistent support for her. However, as the game unfolded, she noticed instances where he discussed matters behind her back. Despite this, Jiya maintained that she doesn’t hold any grudges against him for it.

The soap water incident involving Elvish Yadav emerged as a focal point. Jiya admitted to deliberately adding soap to Elvish’s drinking water, which led to her being scolded by Salman Khan and facing significant backlash from viewers. Ultimately, she apologized for her actions. She shared on India Forums that she doesn’t believe in defending her mistakes but rather in owning up to them and saying sorry. Elvish forgave her for her actions, and even Elvish’s father extended his forgiveness.
Jiya also had words of praise for Elvish’s father, expressing that everyone should be fortunate enough to have a father like him. On the topic of chemistry, Jiya responded with a touch of humor to Urfi’s comment about her and Abhishek Malhan’s chemistry being fake. She quipped that she shared the same sentiment, suggesting that Urfi and Abhishek indeed have a strong chemistry.
When it came to choosing sides between Elvish and Abhishek, Jiya shared her belief that the deserving winner should be determined by the audience’s preferences. Addressing a question about which two contestants she wouldn’t want to meet outside the house, Jiya pointed out Avinash. She clarified that there wasn’t any romantic involvement with either Avinash or the other contestants, dispelling any misconceptions.
