Bigg Boss 16's finale ended up being a lavish event. Shiv Thakare has been named as the first runner-up, bringing about the much-anticipated announcement of the season 16 winner.

Shiv undoubtedly had a remarkable journey within the home. He received praise for prioritising his friendship over minor domestic disputes.

Shiv Thakare finished the competition as the first runner-up. He delighted the audience, got so much praised, and even shared some heartfelt and meaningful moments with his mandali.

Fans have praised this "Aapla Manus," or aapka apna common guy, for his performance in the house. Shiv has had one of the most difficult trips in the house.

Shiv was Mandali's hero in addition to being the taskmaster of the household due to his success in every task. He was actually the real person in house.

Shiv was praised by Bigg Boss for playing the game with all of his heart and mind and for always putting his friendship before any disputes.

Shiv also experienced a breakdown in the home when he felt lost in the game and unsure of whether he was headed in the correct direction.

Bigg Boss is Shiv's ambition that he has been realising for years, as he previously revealed to Shalin Bhanot and Sumbul Touqeer.
