In contemporary times, there are basically two groups of people-those who simply waste their time on social media, and second who earn moolah powered by their massive followers. No matter what you do, if you manage to garner a huge number of followers, you become a brand. This followership provides you brand endorsement deals if you are a celebrity, and more importantly ‘votes’ if you are a Bigg Boss contestant. If you are a celebrity trying your luck inside the Bigg Boss house, then it’s like cherry on top of icing wala cake. Though every social media platform has a ’Follow’ button, Instagram jumps to mind so far as total number of followers is concerned. In this context, here are the top five contenders of this season’s Bigg Boss in terms of number of followers on Insta.
