Soniya Bansal gets evicted from Bigg Boss 17

First eviction

On Saturday's Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 17, Bigg Boss left it to the housemates to decide who they want to see get evicted out of Soniya and Sana. The housemates voted Soniya over Sana and attributed her lack of visibility to their decision. Soniya consequently made an emotional exit from the show.

Who's Soniya Bansal?

Soniya started her career in modelling before foraying into acting with Hindi films like Naughty Gang (2019), Dubki (2021), and Game 100 Crore Ka (2022), starring Shakti Kapoor. The 27-year-old actor from Agra last appeared in two Telugu films this year – Dheera and Yes Boss.

Contestants left

After the first eviction, the remaining contestants are Jigna Vora, Sana Raees Khan, Anurag Dobhal, Munawar Faruqui, Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain, Navid Sole, Neil Bhatt, Aishwarya Sharma, Abhishek Kumar, Isha Malviya, Rinku Dhawan, Arun Mashettey, Sunny Arya, Firoza Khan, Mannara Chopra, and wild card contestants Manasvi Mamgai and Samarth Jurel.

What else happened in this episode?

While the eviction was clearly the highlight, some guests and celebrities graced the latest episode as well. Among these were actors Mouni Roy and Karan Kundrra, who'll be seen co-hosting Temptation Island India: Pyaar Ki Pariksha, which will premiere on November 3 on Jio Cinema.

Bigg Boss host Salman Khan also introduced his brothers Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, who will now host the episode every Sunday, where they'll be seen roasting the contestants. The trio also put up an entertaining act in this episode.
