Bigg Boss Contestants Who Made It Big In Bollywood

Mandana is quite a stunner. With her svelte looks, she entered Bollywood with a special appearance in 2015 flick 'Roy'. Post-debut, she appeared on Bigg Boss 9 and due to her nature, she became the second runner-up. With her uncompromising attitude and accented Hindi, she won over the audiences to secure a spot in top three finalists. Post-Bigg Boss, she starred in quite a few Hindi and Chinese films.

Sunny's prowess is well-known. Her participation is Bigg Boss 5 caused more than a stir and audience's interest was aroused after they came to know about her pornographic past. Her presence on the show landed her the lead role in ‘Jism 2’ which became her debut film. Post-debut, this Baby Doll's fame reached new heights which were partially propelled by her past.

It's safe to say that Sherlyn was famous even before she participated in Bigg Boss 3. The actress, who surfaces in news every now and then, was as tenacious as other participants in the show. While others used their brains to outsmart others, Sherlyn used her oomph factor to throw others off track. Post-Bigg Boss, she secured a role in the 2016 Hindi flick 'Wajah Tum Ho'.

Elli acted in a Swedish film and soon after that she entered Bigg Boss 7 in 2013. Due to some incidents which involved Armaan Kohli, another Bigg Boss participant, Elli became famous and exploited the newfound attention to her advantage.

I won't bother introducing her as every hot-blooded youth will know who she is. She was no different on Bigg Boss and her demeanour was probably what staved off the eviction till 83 days. Needless to say, her conduct attracted a lot of attention. As a result of her successful stint, she bagged more roles in Bollywood.

Kamaal R. Khan's irritating demeanour won him a lot of fans and he created a niche for himself with this reality show. After his eviction, Kamaal maintained the same tempo and got famous through his pontifical views. Through his film reviews and tweets, Kamaal makes sure that he is always in news.

Rakhi was well-known but after she participated in Bigg Boss, she became even more famous. Her prospects improved and she bagged many more raunchy roles in Bollywood. On the show, Rakhi was her usual self (which I believe you have a fair idea about). Due to her tantrums and attitude, she got evicted in Bigg Boss 1.

The 'incident' created a lot of hullabaloo. On the show, she was slapped by a man for wearing a short dress and it generated a lot of buzz. Although the reasons behind the slapping incident are nebulous, Gauhar became very famous due to that episode. After Bigg Boss, she is seen much more frequently on the silver screen now. It's safe to say that the incident clearly worked in her favour.

Sana acted in some minor and leading roles in South Indian films. She participated in Bigg Boss 6 and got noticed for her talent. She secured the top third spot in the show. After the show, she acted in a negative role in the 2014 Salman Khan starrer 'Jai Ho' and grabbed some enviable film offers.

Gautam participated and won first place in Bigg Boss 8. Post-show, he became popular through MTV's 'Big F' show. He was the host of that sensuous show which is quite well-known among the youth. And, let's not forget, his crucial role in the 2016 flick 'Azhar'. Given these roles, we can conclude that he too is doing well after his participation in the reality show.

Given his bad boy looks, Ajaz Khan is now often cast as a villain's left-hand man. He entered Bigg Boss in its seventh season in 2013. After many verbal fights, Ajaz gained goodwill of the audiences and went on to become a finalist. It's worth mentioning that he settled for the third position. He also graced the show during its eighth season in 2014. The actor has also been cast in a handful of South Indian movies.

Andy entered Bigg Boss 7 through the LGBT category. Although he was evicted from the house, Andy became famous for his unabashed admittance of his gayness. In 2015, he returned to the show as a guest in Bigg Boss 9. He acted in supporting Bollywood roles after Bigg Boss 7.

Bobby Darling is a transgender individual who participated in Big Boss during its first season. Participating in the show bore fruits as Bobby courted many offers after Bigg Boss. Most of the roles were related to Bobby's ambiguous sexuality. In 2016, Bobby underwent a sex change operation and love-married Ramnik Sharma. Post-marriage, Bobby Darling changed the name to Pakhi Sharma.

Sofia is a dusky beauty who raised the heat in Bigg Boss 7. With her tantrums and her chemistry with others, she hogged the attention of the audiences until she was evicted. It is worth mentioning that she won a spot in the FHM's 'sexiest women in the world' feature. Apart from that, she announced she was abandoning her raunchy lifestyle and embracing spirituality. To fulfil this decision, she became a nun in June 2016.
