Shiv Thakare, a contestant on Bigg Boss 16, said, "Shehnaaz Gill and Siddharth Shukla Have Been My Favorites."

Shiv Thakre has competed in the 16th season of Bigg Boss after taking first place in the second season of Bigg Boss Marathi. Before the show, Tellychakkar contacted Shiv and inquired about his favourite past candidates as well as his thoughts on the Weekend ka Vaar episode. 

Shiv said he would be over the moon if Salman Khan praised him on Weekend ka Vaar in response to the queries. "Just imagine a regular guy looking up to him to build his body; it would be significant if he yelled at me. I will become well-known among my friends because I am quite strong in that regard, he said.

When asked if he had watched the previous episodes and which contestant he liked best after winning the second season of Bigg Boss Marathi, Shiv mentioned Siddharth Shukla and Shehnaaz Gill. He concluded by saying that just because he has favourites doesn't mean he will imitate them. He said, "I'll play the game the way I want to." 

Shiv was also asked if he planned to apply the same method to make it through the reality competition. He responded by saying that since every action has a consequence, he would modify the game in accordance with the players. The team that no one would have expected to play this season will enter the game.
