While some emerged victorious, others made it to the finals, igniting fervent debates among fans on social media platforms about their favourites and their superiority over others.
This article outlines the top five female contestants across the 17-season history of Bigg Boss in Hindi. We’ll rank them in descending order, highlighting their contributions and impact on the show :
1. Shehnaaz Gill :
Shenaaz Gill, the 2nd runner-up of Bigg Boss Season 13, has solidified her position as the most renowned female contestant in the show’s entire 17-year history. Despite falling short of the top 2 in her season, she surpasses all other female contestants in terms of popularity.
Following her stint on BB13, Shenaaz ventured into the Punjabi film industry and has also made appearances in several Bollywood films. Additionally, she has collaborated with renowned photographer Dabboo Ratnani on numerous occasions and has been featured in music videos alongside acclaimed singers such as Badshah and Tony Kakkar.
Her memorable dialogues from BB13, including “Saada Kutta Kutta Te Twada Kutta Tommy” and “What a Boring Day, What a Boring People,” continue to resonate with fans and are frequently shared across social media platforms, often appearing in reels created by both individuals and celebrities.
Regardless of personal opinions about Shenaaz Gill, her undeniable widespread appeal cements her status as the most beloved female contestant in the history of Bigg Boss.
2. Tejasswi Prakash :
Tejasswi Prakash, the winner of BB15, has garnered immense popularity among fans for her bold and fierce demeanour. Clinching the victory in the 15th edition of the show was a landslide triumph, with no other contestant coming close in the finale. Fans adore her not only for her cute and bubbly personality but also for her stunning appearance.
Tejasswi remains in the spotlight due to her real-life romantic relationship with fellow BB contestant Karan Kundrra. Their couple fandom, known as ‘TejRan,’ stands as the second-largest couple fandom in the show’s history.
Post her Bigg Boss stint, Tejasswi has ventured into one of Colors TV’s flagship serials, Naagin Season 6. Additionally, she has appeared in several music videos alongside her boyfriend, Karan Kundrra. Tejasswi has also showcased her acting prowess in multiple Marathi films, all of which have been well-received by audiences.
Undoubtedly, Tejasswi deserves the second spot on this list as her popularity continues to soar. However, when compared to the unmatched popularity of Shehnaaz Gill, there is simply no competition at present.
3. Rubina Dilaik :
Ranked at number three on our list is the formidable ‘Boss Lady’ of Bigg Boss 14, Rubina Dilaik. The undeniable winner of BB14, Rubina, still holds the record for the largest Twitter trend for any female contestant in BB history. During the finale week of BB14, the hashtag ‘DESERVING WINNER RUBINA’ trended with over 16 million tweets, showcasing the immense support she garnered from fans.
Rubina boasts a substantial fan following on Instagram, reflecting her widespread appeal. Making her Bollywood debut with the Hindi film Ardh, where she starred as the female lead alongside Rajpal Yadav and Hiten Tejwani, Rubina has showcased her versatility beyond the realm of television.
Renowned for her impeccable fashion sense, Rubina is hailed as the Style Icon of the ITV industry. While BB14 marked Rubina’s debut in the reality show realm, she has since become a regular fixture, participating in two more reality shows post her stint in the BB14 house, namely Khatron Ke Khiladi 12 and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
Although Rubina and Tejasswi Prakash are nearly neck-and-neck in terms of overall popularity, Tejasswi holds a slight edge due to the massive TejRan fandom. However, with Rubina’s continued foray into reality shows, it’s only a matter of time before she surges ahead in the popularity race.
4. Hina Khan :
Known as the ‘Sher Khan’ of BB11, Hina Khan may not have clinched the winner’s title, but she undoubtedly captured far more hearts than the actual trophy holder of that season. Among the runner-ups in BB history, Hina Khan stands out as the most remarkable success story to date. Despite her loss in the final against Shilpa Shinde, Hina’s journey exemplifies unparalleled growth in popularity.
It’s worth noting that Hina was invited as one of the seniors during BB14, alongside winners of BB11 and BB7, Sidharth Shukla and Gauahar Khan. This recognition underscores Hina’s enduring popularity, surpassing even Shilpa’s, among all female contestants in the history of BB’s Hindi version.
5 Shilpa Shinde :
Securing the fifth position on our list is the victor of BB11, Shilpa Shinde. She made history as the first contestant in the show’s 15-year tenure to trend with over 1 million tweets.
Despite Vikas Gupta being the channel’s favoured contender, Shilpa won over neutral audiences by showcasing her emotional depth on the show
