Jiya Shankar's eviction from Bigg Boss OTT 2
On Wednesday, a task was performed in which a big calender of memories was placed in the garden area. As Bebika turned the pages of the calendar, it showed memories of how earlier contestants walked out of the house. However, it was only much later that it was announced that the last page of the calendar will have the picture of the evicted contestant. Bigg Boss asked a contestant to come forward to turn the pages of the calendar and it was Abhishek Malhan who volunteered for the task. He turned emotional as Jiya geared up to leave the house.
Fans of the actor shared their disappointment on Twitter by sharing videos from her exit. She was in a pastel pink saree and gave Abhishek Malhan a long hug before leaving the house with a smile.
