Abhishek Malhan On Not Winning Bigg Boss OTT 2: ‘Trophies Hold A Materialistic Value To Me’

ABHISHEK Malhan aka Fukra Insaan was one of the most liked contestants on Bigg Boss OTT 2. Since day 1, the YouTuber emerged as a top favourite to win the show. But fellow vlogger Elvish Yadav’s entry on the show as a wildcard changed the game for Abhishek, who ended up losing the title to Elvish.

In a recent interview with Galatta India, Abhishek reflected about his sentiments after coming so close to the trophy. “Trophies hold a materialistic value to me. That’s my mindset, whether I win or lose. Life truly began after Bigg Boss. Before the show, my audience was quite specific, and only a handful knew me. So, comparing trophies to love doesn’t hold up,” he said in the interview.

The YouTuber emphasised his preference for receiving love from people over trophies if he had to choose. While acknowledging the interest from fans to see him in future seasons of Bigg Boss, he believed he had fulfilled his role. Prior to entering the contentious house, Abhishek disclosed that his father advised him to stay for a few days and return.

Reflecting on the significant transformations in his life post-Bigg Boss OTT 2, Abhishek elucidated, “I’ve always made it clear—I have a distinct audience. I believe in delivering top-tier content tailored to them. So, I feel I’ve fulfilled my part. My mom’s channel views increased fivefold. My channel witnessed a threefold surge during my Bigg Boss stint. Nischay and Prerna’s popularity soared. As a family, we’ve experienced substantial growth.”

The runner-up of Bigg Boss OTT 2 remarked on the abundant love from his supporters, asserting that he perceives himself as a winner. Additionally, he highlighted the upward trajectory of his popularity and the enduring affection from fans following the reality show. Abhishek affirmed, “Though I haven’t secured a trophy, I consider myself victorious every single day, and that’s what truly matters.”
