Fans trend ‘Bigg Boss 15 will be known as Pratik Sehajpal show’; a look at the first runner-up’s evolution from angry young man to the most loved contestant

Pratik Sehajpal didn’t win the Bigg Boss 15 trophy but he has won massive love form fans all over. Pratik’s journey in the BB15 was a real evolution, who initially came across as the most annoying contestant but ended up being the most loving contestant. What else do you need when fans and celebs were cheering for the runner up more than the winner? While fans' supportive and loving tweets are overflowing on social media, here’s a look at some of them and Pratik’s reality show journey so far.

2/9

Shining moment

As Pratik and Tejasswi stood beside Salman Khan, moments before taking the winner’s name, crowd and social media was abuzz with #RealWinnerPratik trend. Fans and celebrities all across have been applauding his game, his honesty and his dedication in the game.

3/9

‘BB15 will be known as Pratik Sehajpal show’

Netizens on social media poured their love and support for Pratik. One of them wrote, “BiggBoss15 will be remembered as a Pratik Sehajpal show!! SUPERSTAR PRATIK IN MAKING.” Another user wrote, “He is a superstar now .. look at the amount of positive engagement he is getting from across the world. Pratik Sehajpal is a new sensation..!!!”

4/9

His evolution in the game

Pratik Sehajpal had a real evolution in the game. While there has been no doubt that initially, Pratik was called out for his violent behaviour and fighting attitude many times, his dedication towards the game was never doubted. However, over his stay in Bigg Boss 15, Pratik controlled his angst a lot and became fans’ favourite. He shined through in the last few months.

5/9

Eating, breathing and living Bigg Boss

Pratik was almost in tears, when he first realised after Salman Khan’s prank that he is actually in Top 2. After spending 121 one days, when Salman Khan was about to announce the winner, he said, “Yes, I have heard from many, Pratik was eating, breathing and living Bigg Boss.”

6/9

His Bigg Boss OTT journey

After several reality shows, Pratik emerged as one of the strongest contenders in Bigg Boss OTT. However, with a zeal to play it further and win the show, Pratik had walked out of the digital version with the Ticket to Bigg Boss 15. He was the first confirmed contestant of the 15th season and he stayed till the last.

7/9

Coincidence much?

Just like Bigg Boss 15, Pratik Sehajpal had the same fate in Ace of Space. In Ace of Space, Pratik stood second, while Divya Agarwal lifted the trophy and her beau Varun Sood had stood third. Same scenario repeated as Karan Kundrra became 2nd runner up while his lady love lifted the Bigg Boss 15 trophy.

8/9

Pratik’s stint with reality shows

Delhi boy Pratik Sehajpal made an entry in the entertainment industry with dating reality show Love School. He was seen in the third season. He had also auditioned for Roadies Xtreme in 2018 but couldn’t impress the judges.

9/9

Pratik’s heartfelt thanks for supporters and fans

Post coming out of the house, Pratik took to social media to thank all his fans and well-wishers who supported him throughout his journey. Comparing their love to that received from a mother, he's heard saying in the video, "So, guys thank you so much #PratikFam. You all have supported and loved me unconditionally. I don't have words to express my gratitude. The way a mother loves her children, you'll have loved me to that extent. This is a very big statement that I have made but I mean it all. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, so much guys. I am nothing without you'll. I am literally nothing without you'll and whatever little that I am, is all because of you'll. Thank you so much guys. I love you all."

Why only Pratik?? Shamita and Karan were also equally good. There was hardly anything to separate them. Teja also worked extremely hard and did well throughout the show. It should be accepted with sportsman spirit.
