Bigg Boss 13 winner is Sidharth Shukla, says HT poll; Asim Riaz is second favourite

Hindustan Times readers have declared that they want Sidharth Shukla to win Bigg Boss 13. Results of a poll show that Asim Riaz is the fans’ second favourite to win, ahead of the season finale on Saturday.

The poll results are in, and Hindustan Times readers want Sidharth Shukla to win Bigg Boss 13. The controversial contestant took 44% of the votes, ahead of Saturday’s season finale.

Bigg Boss 13: Sidharth Shukla and Asim Riaz have been bitter rivals.

Following Sidharth in the number two position was Asim Riaz, who garnered 35% of the votes. In the number three position was Sidharth’s close friend in the show, Shehnaaz Gill, who got 9% of the votes. Rashami Desai got 8% of the votes; Paras Chhabra got 3% of the votes and Arti Singh brought up the tail end, with just 1% of voters declaring her their favourite to win.

Sidharth’s bond with Shehnaaz, his constant tussles, and his enthusiasm to win tasks has made him a firm favourite throughout the season. The fact that host Salman Khan has often shown his support for Sidharth has only worked in his favour. Several former contestants, however, have said that Sidharth winning would set a bad precedent for the show, in which physical violence is not allowed.

During the penultimate episode of Bigg Boss 13 on Friday, each of the surviving contestants was shown a quick video glimpse of their journey on the show. While Rashami, Asim and Shehnaaz were visibly excited to relive their journeys, Paras got emotional during the presentation.
