BB 15 finalist Nishant Bhat: From being OTT finalist to featuring in 'Bigg Boss 15' finals

Seldom does a contestant make it into the finals of the biggest Indian reality show, let alone two - and that is a feat Nishant Bhat has accomplished. From his long journey that spans over six months overall, here's highlighting the man's incredible run in the show and both its versions - Bigg Boss OTT and Bigg Boss 15.

Relatively unknown when entered Bigg Boss OTT

OTT had many 'new faces' so to speak but probably the newest of them all had to be choreographer Nishant Bhat. Even though the choreographer made a huge mark with his dancing skills in multiple reality shows, one would definitely have their doubts placed as to how this unknown entity will fare on the show. Little did one know that he would make such a massive impact that he would go on to be a finalist of Bigg Boss OTT.

Bigg Boss OTT finalist and entering in Bigg Boss 15

From taking a stand for himself on multiple counts to giving it to one and all whenever required, Bhat would have a fascinating journey to become the Bigg Boss OTT finalist against Divya Agarwal where many thought he should have won. And while and before entering Bigg Boss 15, Bhat confessed to be rather nervous about it but even then, he was an instant favorite for man to go the long way.

His continued friendship with Pratik Sehajpal 

Bigg Boss is a show that is known to have temporary friendships almost every time we see it. In fact, some of them are so temporary that they fade out multiple times even when the season is going on. But surprisingly and rather amazingly, Bhat's friendship with Sehajpal has not only lasted through both OTT and 15 but also managed to sustain in the best possible way. It isn't that the duo haven't had their share of fights and differences of opinions but the fantastic understanding between them and respect for each other has transpired into - what looks like a friendship forever.

Being loved by one and all going on to have a legacy

What has been amazing about Bhat all this way is that the man, even though has had multiple fights with other contestants, it hasn't been a fight that continues in a way that they don't talk with him or have their fun moments with them ahead as well. In fact, Bhat, who hasn't necessarily had the best moments with Tejasswi Prakash or Shamita Shetty or others, has still had a great time with them on multiple occasions.

While there are reports that Bhat has taken a briefcase of Rs.10 lakhs and exited the show and even if the are true, Bhat's legacy spanning six months in both Bigg Boss OTT and Bigg Boss 15 will be remembered forever.
