Last night on Bigg Boss Ott 2, the drama was at its peak as Bigg Boss informed the contestants about an important rule that was being broken. Akanksha Puri, Abhishek Malhan aka Fukra Insaan, and Jiya Shankar had discussed nominations, which led the makers to nominate the trio as a punishment.
As Jiya and Abhishek tried to apologise to the housemates, Pooja Bhatt took charge to school them about how they seemed delusional after attaining success at a young age.
Pooja also brought up Abhishek’s successful social media career in the conversation, sharing how having 20-30 million followers can make one believe they are on ‘cloud nine’. She added that it’s important to first build character. “I want to tell you young people, who want to become number one and conquer the industry, that develop character. It is not always about talent.
