Bigg Boss is known for its twists, but this year’s “Fans Ka Faisla” entry has already sparked major drama! In an exclusive chat with The Film Window, YouTuber and Bigg Boss contender Mridul Tiwari opened up about the shocking turn of events that pitted him against Shehbaz Badesha, brother of Shehnaaz Gill, the “Punjab Ki Katrina Kaif” who rose to fame in Bigg Boss 13.
From the very beginning, Mridul says things felt strange. “The first thing I noticed was that Shehbaz’s profile picture wasn’t even his own. It was Siddharth Shukla’s. I thought I’d seen that face before and then realized it wasn’t him at all!” Mridul added that only later did he learn that Shehbaz had already entered Bigg Boss once, for a week in Season 13, and gained popularity through that stint.
But Mridul is clear, he doesn’t want to engage in unnecessary beef. “Everyone has their own audience and personality. I don’t know his journey, so I can’t say if he would have gotten fewer votes without Siddharth’s fans and Shehnaaz’s support. But I do know that I have my own audience and my brothers who always stand by me.”
What really irked Mridul, however, was the makers’ sudden twist. When informed about the poll, he was told only one would enter based on audience votes. But now, according to reports, both contenders might enter together. “If both people are going in, then what’s the point of polling? Why create this drama?” he asked bluntly. “I worked day and night for this. If both enter, it is unfair and I will strongly object.”
Despite the tension, Mridul insists he isn’t bitter. Win or lose, he says he respects his fans deeply and believes better opportunities will always come.
Speaking of support, Mridul proudly acknowledged YouTube sensation Elvish Yadav, who openly backed him during the process. “Elvish supported me full-fledged, he even called me ‘ chhota bhai.’ The YouTube community is united, and we all stand for each other. I was also happy when Elvish won Bigg Boss, he truly deserved it.”
On the possibility of a ‘love angle’ inside the house, Mridul laughed it off but didn’t shut the door. There are no restrictions. Whatever the heart feels, I’ll go with the flow. My parents’ only advice is to respect everyone until things go out of control.
When asked about his favorite Bigg Boss winners, Mridul didn’t hesitate. Manveer Gurjar and Elvish Yadav top his list. “Manveer even came to my home, and I feel very connected with both of them.”
With sharp observations, emotional honesty, and backing from India’s strongest YouTube community, Mridul Tiwari has already made his mark. Whether or not the makers play fair, one thing is certain, the audience is watching and this season’s drama is only getting started!
