It’s the final few days of Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 and it is time to unveil the top 6 contestants of the popular reality show. Following Rashika Shetty’s elimination last week, seven contestants, Dhanush Gowda, Charith Balappa (Dhruvanth), Ashwini Gowda, Rakshitha, Kavya Shaiva, Raghu and Gilli Nata, were still in the house. Dhanush has a confirmed ticket to the finale, which leaves the remaining 6, all of who have been nominated for elimination on January 14. One of them will head home tonight, and going by the buzz on social media, it seems that fans are convinced about who that is.
Who are the top 6 contestants remaining in the Bigg Boss Kannada house?
Earlier in the day, a clip from the live feed of Bigg Boss Kannada 12 was being widely shared, in which Rakshitha had hidden herself inside the kitchen cabinets of the house. Dhruvanth, who realized this, found some plastic to tie the handles together and prevent her from coming out again, which audiences had called out as psycho behaviour. Raghu was watching this in the house and went to unlock Rakshitha, but then Dhruvanth did it himself.
Shortly after, news began spreading that the Muddulakshmi actor has been evicted in the mid-week elimination, although the episode is yet to be aired. “Dhruvanth said, ‘competition eladange madthini’ Now people .. ‘naav nina game nale eldange madidivi’,” wrote a netizen. “Finally...it is an expected eviction of this season. Dhruvanth evict agirodhu must be the most celebrated moment of this season probably outside bigg boss,” added another.
This would mean that the top 6 heading into this week's final are Gilli Nata, Ashwini Gowda, Kavya Shaiva, Rakshita, Raghu and Dhanush Gowda.
