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.

Tejasswi: The most followed Bigg Boss 15 contestant on Instagram with 3 million followers

Tejasswi Prakash: Just Incredible

Not surprisingly, Tejasswi is the most followed contestant in this season of Bigg Boss. She has 3 million followers on Instagram and the number is steadily increasing. Her powerful performance in Swaragini-Jodein Rishton Ke SUR aired in 2015 made her a household name. However, her follower base skyrocketed after her participation in Khatron Ke Khiladi.

Shamita Shetty – 2.9 million

Shamita Shetty comes next after Tejasswi in the list of top five most followed celebrities in the Bigg Boss house this time. Being a Bollywood actress, it is not surprising that she has 2.8 million followers on her Instagram account. Though Shamita has never been an influential actress in B-town, but her performance in recently concluded Bigg Boss OTT has helped her in garnering significant popularity.   

Karan Kundrra – 2.4 million

Karan Kundrra plans to break teams

This hot Punjabi ‘munda’ has an impressive profile. Ever since his debut in Kitani Mohabbat Hai in 2009, Karan has been consistently in the eyeballs of TV viewers. Be it his jaw dropping personality or up-to-the-mark performance, Karan has every reason to have such a bank of followers. Interestingly Karan has made guest appearance in Bigg Boss 9 and 11 as well.

Jay Bhanushali-1.5 million

There is perhaps no TV channel on which Jay Bhanushali has not appeared. This favorite host of TV shows enjoys a massive follower base of 1.5 million. Jay is like a good boy – no controversy and always smiling. As far as talent is concerned, he has enough to showcase. Recently concluded Khatron Ke Khiladi made him even more popular in tinsel town. With such a whopping fan following, Jay is sure to give tough competition to other contestants.

Afsana Khan – 1.3 million

Afsana: Labelled as the ‘attention seeker’

The next name that comes after Jay Bhanushaliis Afsana Khan. Undeniably Afsana is a talented girl; she is a good singer, and a terrific performer. But it is her bold image, coupled with the controversies she has been associated with, provides the extra boost to her social media prowess. Specifically, the Dhakka song provided both popularity and controversy, which contributed tomaking her Instagram presence significant.

‘Mostly Sunny’: Stunning look at Sunny Leone’s life (Review)

The original show used to air on Star Plus channel. It was loosely on the lines of American show “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch”. After almost five years, the show ended in 2009.

In September 2010, Disney Channel India bought the rights to the show.

When actor Nia Sharma posted a video of herself dancing on Instagram, she didn’t expect it to blow up into a controversy. Soon after the post went up, The ‘Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai’ actor was spammed with comments attacking her and calling her a ‘porn star’. Unfazed by the attacks, Nia says, “It was so silly. The comments were as trivial as they were trash. It is a shame that I have to explain myself. I didn’t intend to make headlines when I put up the post, but thanks for the publicity.”

The Jamai Raja actor says she was appalled at the reactions, which caught her unawares and left her annoyed. She reasons that she understands and knows what she is doing if she has posted the video herself. “Are people mad? It was not a drunk post. We were having fun while shooting a music video, and my team shot me while I was posing and I put it online. People on social media hide behind anonymity and feel they can get away with [saying rude things]. If someone spoke this way to me in person, I would punch their face in,” she says. Nia is glad that the media has been supportive and understood her point of view.

Nia uploaded this black and white video of her photoshoot –

Trolls posted comments like “Future porn star is here”, “Chiii besharam kehhikki…Miss ugly sharma”

Nia has since posted another video with a reply to the hostile comments that says-

“Here’s one more from the photoshoot!! Ready to s**t-shame a girl again? Go aheadddddd..(sic). Why are people making it so difficult for girls to live the way they want to in India. Let’s not make India a place where a girl has to think 10 times before going out or wearing what she wants. Do people want me to cover myself up from head to toe? Are we in India or Afghanistan? Calling me a porn star was… porn stars have a dignified life. They earn a living and have chosen the profession as a career. I respect porn stars more than I respect these trolls.”  

 

Oops! Here’s one more from the photoshoot!! Ready to slut-shame a girl again? Go aheadddddd.. I’ll post five more…Coz thats exactly I got this shoot done.!! And thats exactly how I’ll post pictures from the same! I appreciate everyone who took out time from their absolutely worthless lives to write filthy long comments on my previous video.! I got u job again! ✌️ A video posted by Nia Sharma (@niasharma90) on Jan 31, 2017 at 6:27am PST

Interestingly, Nia made it to the list of Top 50 Sexiest Asian Women in the world.

Yami Gautam finally shines after bumpy ride of controversies

Nia will soon be part of a web series ‘Twisted’, produced by Vikram Bhatt in which she plays a mistress. She admits that she is “scared to put up photos” of the shoot, as she appears in a sexy avatar.
