Bigg Boss 16: As Fans Demand Ankit Gupta's Re-Entry, Shekhar Suman Says 'Public Opinion Should Be...'

Bigg Boss 16 update: Ankit Gupta has been trending on Twitter ever since he was evicted from Salman Khan's reality show. Ardent fans of the Udaariyaan actor are miffed with the makers as they believe that he was eliminated in an 'unfair' manner. The TV heartthrob had to leave the Bigg Boss 16 house as the other housemates voted against him. The makers had closed the voting lines and hence, Ankit's followers are unhappy with his eviction.

From running a social media campaign to bring him back to flooding the Instagram and Twitter profile of Colors channel with messages, the fans have been working round the clock to ensure that Ankit Gupta returns as a wildcard contestant in Bigg Boss 16.

Amid the demand for Ankit Gupta's re-entry in the BB 16 house, Shekhar Suman posted a cruptic tweet on his official Twitter handle on Saturday (December 31).

Yesterday, Salman Khan schooled Archana Gautam for crossing the line and passing below-the-belt remarks on Vikas Manaktala and Shalin Bhanot while engaging in a fight with them. The Bollywood superstar explained that if he could bring her back, he had the power to evict her as well.

Unlike previous times, Salman Khan talked to Archana Gautam alone in the living area. The other housemates were asked to leave the room when the Bharat actor had a conversation with the actress-politician.

Seven contestants have been nominated including Sreejita De, Tina Datta, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Vikas Manaktala, Soundarya Sharma, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and Shalin Bhanot. It remains to be seen which celebrity will get evicted this week on the Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
