Speaking further about Shiv Thakare's 'Bigg Boss' journey, the young lad was touted as one of the strongest contenders since beginning. However, his game during the early days of 'Bigg Boss' wasn't up to the mark. His co-contestants nominated him in the first week itself and called him a misfit for the show. However, Shiv Thakare changed his game completely and emerged out as one of the best performers of 'Bigg Boss Marathi 2'. Apart from his game plans, Shiv's chemistry with co-contestant Veena became the talk of the town.

Heartiest congratulations to Shiv Thakare.
