​Celebrities who couldn't cash in on Bigg Boss Kannada fame

Bigg Boss Kannada series might be a controversial show but it does serve as a platform for many to come out of their shell and explore more of themselves. Although there are a lot of celebs who have shot to fame with the reality show, there are a few celebs who went unnoticed after the show got concluded. Here's looking at the Bigg Boss Kannada contestants who, despite their initial spark, found it challenging to sustain their fame in the entertainment industry. Here is a list of a few celebs who couldn't benefit from the Bigg Boss Kannada series.

2/9

​Rupesh Rajanna

Rupesh Rajanna made headlines for his rebellious attitude during his stint in Bigg Boss Kannada OTT as well as the season 9 of the reality show. However, post the reality show, the pro-Kannada activists seem to be maintaining a low profile. He has hardly made any appearances on-screen.

3/9

​Dhanushree

Although she holds a huge social media fan following, Dhanushree failed to hog the screen space. She got evicted during the first week of Bigg Boss Kannada season 9 and got trolled brutally for her makeup routine.

4/9

​Raksha Somashekar

This wild card entrant of Bigg Boss Kannada season 7 hogged the limelight with her charm inside the glasshouse. Needless to say, Raksha, who is also an entrepreneur, resumed work after her short stint in the reality show.

5/9

​Divakar

Although Divakar secured the first runner-up title in Bigg Boss Kannada season 6, he never managed to be in the spotlight. In fact, he was seen selling fruits during the nationwide lockdown phase.

6/9

​Shwetha Pandit

Although Shwetha turned out to be one of the most happening contestants of season 1, the actress has hardly been seen on-screen after the show concluded its journey.

7/9

​Nurse Jayalakshmi

Having tried her luck with the Bigg Boss Kannada series, Jayalakshmi quit the glamour world and then decided to enter politics. However, the fact that the former contestant is recognised for her share of controversies can never be missed.

8/9

Ravi Mooruru

Ravi was in headlines when became a victim of Huccha Venkat's wrath during Bigg Boss Kannada season 3. Needless to say, Ravi can hardly be seen making public appearances.

9/9

​Anand Maligatti

While Anand made his presence felt when Bigg Boss Kannada season 6 was on the run, the bus conductor returned to his duty soon after he got evicted from the house. Ever since then, Anand has never made an on-screen appearance.
