Here are five such Bigg Boss contestants who, despite not winning, have achieved greater fame than the actual winners.
1. Hina Khan (Bigg Boss 11)
Hina Khan was one of the strongest and most talked-about contestants in Bigg Boss 11. Her game was sharp, and she carried herself with grace throughout the season. Despite being a finalist, she lost to Shilpa Shinde. Many fans and critics still believe Hina was more deserving of the trophy, considering her immense fan base and career growth post-Bigg Boss.
2. Vivian Dsena (Bigg Boss 18)
Vivian Dsena, known for his powerful screen presence, entered Bigg Boss 18 and quickly became a favourite. His calm yet strong persona, along with his dignified gameplay, made him one of the most respected contestants. Though he lost to Karan Veer Mehra, many believed he was more deserving. His popularity, however, remained untouched, and he continues to have a loyal fan following.
3. Priyanka Chahar Choudhary (Bigg Boss 16)
Priyanka Chahar Choudhary was the epitome of strength and confidence in Bigg Boss 16. From voicing her opinions fearlessly to standing her ground in every situation, she was considered the front-runner for the trophy. However, she lost to MC Stan, which left her fans disappointed. Despite this, Priyanka continues to shine in the industry and enjoys immense stardom.
4. S. Sreesanth (Bigg Boss 12)
Former cricketer S. Sreesanth was a highlight of Bigg Boss 12. His emotional journey, strong personality, and occasional outbursts kept the audience engaged. He was seen as a more deserving winner than Dipika Kakar, who eventually took home the trophy.
5. Karishma Tanna (Bigg Boss 8)
Karishma Tanna was a standout contestant in Bigg Boss 8. Her strong opinions, competitive spirit, and grace made her a top contender. She lost to Gautam Gulati, but many believed she played the game with more strategy and dignity.

Most popular contestants do not always win the Bigg Boss. Sometimes, those who don’t lift the trophy end up being more successful and popular than the actual winners. These five contestants proved that true victory lies in the love and support of the audience rather than just a title.
