Manisha Rani, a popular social media influencer, is among the most loved contestants of Bigg Boss OTT season 2. As the show is heading towards a grand finale, her fans are hopeful of her victory. Her vibrant personality is being enjoyed by not just the viewers but by former contestants, too. Observing her bubbly nature and unfiltered talks, a section of people were reminded of Bigg Boss 16's Archana Gautam


Recently, Archana was asked about her comparison with Manisha. According to Free Press Journal, the politician-turned-reality show star told a leading publication, "Manisha is a very nice girl aur mujhko accha lag raha hai woh apna 100% daal rahi hai. (I am loving how she is putting in her pure efforts, giving her 100%. It's making me really happy.)" She further added, "Logon ko hasane ke liye woh kabhi cartoon, toh kabhi joker, kabhi ek chulbuli ladki, toh kabhi bhoot banjati hai aur yeh cheezein acchi hain. (She has the ability to make people laugh; sometimes, she becomes a cartoon, other times, a joker, or a playful girl, and at times, she even transforms into a ghost. These things are delightful.)"



Archana also praised Abhishek Malhan, popularly known as Fukra Insaan, and Elvish Yadav, a wild card contestant. She called them genuine and authentic players in the game. Manisha and Abhishek are the BFFs of the season. While she was also friends with Bebika Dhurve at the beginning of Bigg Boss OTT 2, their relationship nose-dived due to personal conflicts. 

Archana, a politician from the Indian National Congress, shot to fame with Bigg Boss 16 last year. She was the third runner-up. Before participating in the reality show hosted by Salman Khan, she modelled for various brands. Archana also acted in a couple of films, which went unnoticed by the majority. After the success of Bigg Boss 16, she went on to do Rohit Shetty's Khatron Ke Khiladi 13. 

Manisha Rani, hailing from Bihar, is a social media influencer who gained popularity through her TikTok videos. She is said to be an actor and model too. Manisha has 6.1 million followers on Instagram. On Bigg Boss OTT 2, she hilariously flirts with Jad Hadid. Calling him 'Babu', she makes efforts to teach him Hindi. 

Manisha is among the potential winners of Bigg Boss OTT 2. It could be possible that she might make it to the television version of the reality show, thanks to the popularity she enjoys.
