Neeraj reacts

He expressed his gratitude while leaving the show. “This is a game, and winning or losing in it is very important, I am very happy. I lost because of the audience, but what I have won is the hearts of people. That is a big deal for me, so if any of you lose too, keep a sporting attitude,” he was seen telling the contestants.

After his elimination, Neeraj also took to social media to look back at his brief journey in the house. “I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeve and I did exactly that in BBOTT3 as well. Thank you so much for all the love you have given me in a matter of just 3 days. I am so touched,” he wrote on X, formerly known as X.

More about the eviction

In the episode, the housemates were asked to name one contestant between Neeraj and Shivani Kumari, who they could choose to evict. While Shivani got nine votes, in a surprising turn, Bigg Boss announced that the audience had voted out Neeraj.

His eviction left many contestants emotional. Deepak Chaurasia was seen crying, while Ranvir Shorey called Neeraj a legend and said he was glad they got to know each other on the show. After the news of eviction came out, a section of the audience on social media has been calling the elimination unfair.
