Shalin has become the first contestant to get eliminated on finale night. Shalin was competing against Shiv Thakare, Archana Gautam, Priyanka Choudhary and MC Stan for the winner's trophy of the controversial reality show "Bigg Boss 16", which began in October.
The voice of "Bigg Boss" had asked the Top 5 to choose one name amongst them who does not deserve to be in the final four and if the names chosen by the housemates matches with the audience's votes, Rs 10 lakh will be added to the prize money. Archana, Priyanka, Stan, and Shiv took Shalin's name while he said it was Archana. The audience's votes and housemates' opinions matched and Shalin was shown the exit door on the ultimate day.

The actor will not be leaving the house empty-handed. Earlier today, it was confirmed that he is the first contestant in the upcoming season of the reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' hosted by Rohit Shetty. The host arrived on the show on Saturday night and made the finalists do some daredevil tasks. Looking at Shalin's performance, Rohit offered him the show.
Meanwhile, producer Ekta Kapoor has also offered Shalin the lead role in her upcoming show 'Beqaboo' after he exited the show. Salman joked with Shalin that he will be the skin of naagin on the show. He also gave Shalin a buzzer as a gift.
During his 130 days stay, Shalin made headlines for several reasons. He was seen romancing co-contestant Tina Datta, having a close friendship with Sumbul Touqeer Khan, fighting with MC Stan and Archana and for his weekly arguments with host Salman Khan. In his stint, Shalin was often called fake and was even judged over his on and off relationship with Tina.
The season started in October and the show got an extension in January. Shiv Thakre, MC Stan, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Shalin Bhanot, and Archana Gautam made it to the finale as the top 5 contestants. The final contestants were reunited with the previously eliminated contestants. Krushna and Bharti mocked the contestants and even made them play games while pitting them against each other.
