Bigg Boss 16's Gautam Singh Vig shocked to see MC Stan's victory: 'Strategy honi chaiye, late game samjho trophy le jao'

Actor Gautam Singh Vig talks about MC Stan's victory on Bigg Boss 16 and how he expected Priyanka Chahar Choudhary or Shiv Thakare to win instead.

Gautam Singh Vig has said that he was shocked when neither Priyanka Chahar Choudhary nor Shiv Thakare made it to the top. He also said Bigg Boss 16 winner MC Stan started to understand the game pretty late. Both Priyanka and Shiv made it to the list of top three finalists. ()

Talking about the time the winner was announced during Bigg Boss 16 grand finale Sunday evening, Gautam told DNA, “It was shocking for all of us because we were expecting Priyanka. She was trending everywhere, every day. After Priyanka, I was expecting Shiv to win.”

He added, "MC jeete hai... aachi baat hai ki woh jeete hai. Late samaj aaya (game) but aachi baat hai ki samaj aaya. Toh, I think, yehi agli baar logon ki strategy honi chaiye ki 'late game samjho aur trophy le jao' (It's fine that MC Stan won, he took time to understand the game but good that he eventually understood it. I think this will be a strategy people may follow from the next season - 'understand the dynamics of the game late and grab the trophy')."

Right after the show started, Shalin Bhanot and Gautam almost came to blows with each other over a fight concerning co-contestant Sumbul Touqeer Khan. It was only after the other contestants separated them physically, that the fight cooled down.

Gautam and Ankit Gupta will be seen alongside Neha Rana in the new fictional romantic-musical series Junooniyatt that will begin air Monday night on Colors TV.

Gautam is best known for his performances in TV shows such as Naamkaran, Ishq Subhan Allah and the movie Flat 211. He also has featured in other TV shows including Pinjara Khubsurti Ka, Saath Nibhana Saathiya 2 and Agni Vayu.
