New Delhi: On Sunday, when the countdown to the 'Bigg Boss 16' finals started, comedian and reality star Bharti Singh was seen on the set of the show cheering for Archana Gautam, the 2018 Miss Bikini India, whom she claimed was her favourite to win the competition. Shiv Thakare and MC Stan were also appreciated by Bharti.
She was obviously out of step with the general public, who appears from internet polls to be heavily in favour of actress Priyanka Chahar Choudhary from the movie 'Udaariyaan'. The hashtag #MCStanJeetnaMangta has been trending widely as a result of what appears to be MC Stan's late return. He has left Priyanka far behind on Twitter, garnering 4,75,000 tweets (and counting!) in his favour.
A fan expressed the prevailing view on Priyanka when he wrote: "She's our Fighter. She's fought for her own survival throughout the Season. Now she'll fight for the Trophy tonight. It has been a tough journey but she made it, she's a hell of a strong lady. Girl, u r a fire within urself, too bold & badass to handle!!"
Countered an MC Stan fan: "#BiggBoss16Finale #MCStan journey has proved that he remained natural & real right from the beginning to the end. He speaks of his real-life struggle to get recognition as a rapper. Deserves #Biggbosstrophy. The rest depends on voting @ColorsTV."
Apart from Priyanka, MC Stan and Archana, Shalin Bhanot and Shiv Thakare are also in the race for the trophy.
Meanwhile, Priyanka Choudhary is making waves on Twitter with fans talking about her win.
The hashtag "Jeet Ke Aana Priyanka" is currently trending on the micro blogging site with over 239,000 tweets in her favour.
However, before the winner is announced in the show, a dance-off between rivals Priyanka and Shiv Thakare will be seen.
A promo shared by the channel Colors on Instagram gives a sneak-peek into the grand finale performance between Priyanka and Shiv.
In the clip, the two will be seen performing a dance on the number 'Dhan Te Nan 2.0' from the film 'Kuttey'.
'Bigg Boss 16' finale will air tonight at 7pm on Colors and the streaming platform Voot.
