Bigg Boss 17 is currently talk of the town. While we are aware that this season is not as popular as 16th or 13th was one cannot deny the fact that some contestants are genuinely trying hard to entertain you. Some like Abhishek Kumar are trying to ace Asim Riaz, while Munawar is trying to show a different persona to the audience. On one hand where Vicky Jain is the surprise package of this season, real life couple Neil Bhatt and Aishwarya Sharma has disappointed the fans miserably. Have a look as we list down the strongest and weakest contestants of Bigg Boss 17.

Ankita Lokhande’s better half and businessmen Vicky Jain may not be the best husband, but he is a very good player. It was very easy for Vicky to get overshadowed by his wife’s popularity in the show. The fact that he is not from an acting background meant he was less popular in comparison to other contestants and must work hard so that the audience can notice him. He did exactly the same and emerged as the strongest contestant of Bigg Boss 17. He manipulated people where he needed to and maintained loyal friendships where it was required. Vicky Bhaiya may not be Bigg Boss’s favourite but he is definitely loved by the audience.

Isha is the youngest contestant of this season. The way her personal life was exposed in the initial few episodes was a nightmare for her. She was labeled as the most cunning girlfriend when she denied her relationship with Boyfriend Samarth Jurel in the Bigg Boss house. Any other girl in Isha’s position would have easily given up on the show but Isha chooses to ignore all the negative noise, stayed focused on her game, rectified her mistakes and today she is certainly is one of the most strongest player of Bigg Boss 17.

Indeed, Firoza Khan aka Khanzaadi was the underdog player of this season. In the initial episodes she was completely lost. Sometimes she was seen fighting with Ankita while other times she was seen flirting with Abhishek Kumar. She was all over the place, yet she was unable to impress viewers with her game. However, after her fallout with Abhishek Kumar, Khanzaadi’s game became very strong and powerful. Although she has been constantly bashed by host Salman Khan in Weekend ka Vaar, she has firmly stood her ground. Her firm NO to Abhishek when he tried reconciling with her made audience notice that she has a spark in her.

Like her or hate her, but you cannot ignore Mannara’s presence in the game. Yes, she has used her and Munawar’s equation to up her game, she has also constantly picked fights with Ankita Lokhande to be in limelight, yet she has been successful to act as someone who doesn’t know anything about the reality show. Mannara’s smartness can be proved from the fact that Munawar who has already won a similar reality show like Bigg Boss is till now unsuccessful to decode that Chopra is using him for her own benefits.

We cannot label Munawar’s game in Bigg Boss 17 either strongest or weakest. We all know he has the potential to win the controversial reality show. However, the potential is of no use if it’s not channelized within time. Even Salman has called out Munawar that his approach towards the show is not working in the show’s favor and how he needs to up his game. All said and done we cannot call Munawar the weakest because he can be anything but a weak player. Let’s just say Munawar is not playing true to his potential.

Abhishek Kumar is certainly the most talked about contestant of this season. But is he the strongest we really can’t say. He fights only to be in limelight, gets physical with fellow house mates to make sure he is seen. Initially Abhishek’s annoying habit was liked by the audience but now it has become plain boring. But at the same time, we cannot tag him as an out and out weak contestant. He has formed some strong bonds in the house and his fun banter with Munawar is appreciated by all.

While you all may be surprised to see Ankita’s name in the weakest category, it’s true that Ankita who is very strong as a person is not playing the game very strongly. Half of the time we have seen Ankita crying especially for husband Vicky Jain. For instance, in a recent episode of Bigg Boss 17, when Vicky said that Khanzaadi makes better food than Ankita, the Pavitra Rishta actor started crying. Now we know one can be extremely emotional to their partner’s choice of words, but Ankita needs to understand that she has to ignore Vicky and focus on upgrading her game.

bollywoodlife.com photo — Neil Bhatt: The most boring contestant of Bigg Boss 17 with a weak game plan

Yes, the Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin actor has disappointed us big time. Everyone was excited to see Neil’s game in the reality show. Unfortunately, all he is seen doing is saying sorry to wife Aishwarya, explaining her every minute things and gossiping about Vicky as and when he gets the opportunity. We really feel the makers made a wrong choice by choosing Neil for Bigg Boss 17

bollywoodlife.com photo — Aishwarya Sharma: The cry baby of Bigg Boss 17

We really don’t remember the last time we saw Aishwarya smiling in the show. Half of the time she looks annoyed, the other time she is busy having disagreements with husband Neil. She thinks that Bigg Boss is showing her in negative light. But the fact is she has nothing to offer. She has not formed any strong connection with fellow housemates nor she has managed to stand out as individual.
