Accepting her eviction from the Bigg Boss house during the Ravivaar ka Vaar episode on January 22, actress Soundarya Sharma thanked other contestants in the Salman Khan-hosted reality television show for teaching her valuable lessons.

The contestant along with Tina Datta and Shalin Bhanot was put in the bottom three of the list after audience votes came in. Following the three-way tie, Salman Khan asked the housemates to unanimously decide who to evict, which resulted in Soundarya being shown the exit door.

“I have had a wonderful time in the house of Bigg Boss 16, and I have mixed feelings as I bid adieu to it. I never thought I would come so far along in the season,” said Soundarya.

“I’m grateful to the contestants for teaching me lessons that I couldn’t have learnt elsewhere. All the best to all of them and I can't wait to know who wins this game-changing season. I hope Archana wins,” she added.

In the same episode, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia became the first contestant to nab the ticket and earn captaincy at the same time.

Bigg Boss 16 episodes stream every Monday to Friday at 10pm and every Saturday and Sunday at 9pm on Colors TV and Voot.
