Bigg Boss 16 grand finale: Archana Gautam is the second contestant to be evicted, Salman Khan claps for her game

Archana Gautam is now evicted from Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 16. The contestant is the second contestant to be out of the show. Shalin Bhanot was the first to be out.

Archana got out after a handpump task. Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel came on the show to promote Gadar 2 and the task was to announce the second eviction.

The contestants were asked to take the handpump out to know if they were safe or not. Shiv Thakare went first and was safe. Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary was also revealed to be safe.

MC Stan and Archana went together later on. While Stan was safe, Archana’s handpump read eliminated.

With that, Archana had to get out of the house and join Salman and the ex-contestants on the stage. She started crying and Salman tried to lighten the environment by asking her to give a speech. While doing so, Salman joked with her too.

Archana got emotional after her speech ended. She went and met Shalin, who was evicted before her. Salman asked Archana to join her family. On seeing her mother, Archana could neither stop crying nor talking. Her sole focus was talking to her mother. Even Archana’s brother Gulshan got involved in the talks while her father waited for Archana to look at Salman. The host paid a tribute to Archana by clapping for her game.

During her stay in the house, Archana revealed that she wasn’t on good terms with her family. Thus, after seeing them at the grand finale, she got extremely emotional.

Archana was known to call out everyone in the house. However, during the end, she kept to herself. She was the first person to call out the ‘mandali’ and stood against them strongly. In this matter, she paired up with Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary to speak up against the mandali, who they called the ‘bully gang.’

Before her eviction, Archana got to see the love she received from people of her district. The actress is also a politician who aimed to do better for her people.
