The Elimination That Shocked Everyone
During the recent nominated task, which led to a heated confrontation between Dhruvanth Talwar and Ashwini Gowda, seven contestants were nominated. Jhanvi found herself in the danger zone alongside established housemates and wildcards.
Despite having a close bond with Ashwini Gowda inside the house, Jhanvi couldn’t secure enough public votes to stay safe. Her exit stunned both viewers and contestants, with Ashwini Gowda becoming visibly emotional upon Jhanvi’s eviction.
What Led to Jhanvi’s Exit?
Repeated Nominations: Jhanvi faced consecutive nominations in multiple weeks, consistently landing in the danger zone with low vote counts.
Fierce Competition: Week 9 saw strong contestants like Gilli Nata dominating viewer polls while Jhanvi struggled to build momentum despite her television background.
Voting Trends: Throughout the season, Jhanvi appeared in the bottom cluster of unofficial voting polls, hovering between 2-8% vote share – significantly lower than fan favorites.
Limited Fan Base: Unlike contestants with massive social media followings, Jhanvi’s support base wasn’t strong enough to overcome the elimination pressure.
Wildcard Twist Shakes Up The House
Following Jhanvi’s exit, Rajath Kishan and Chaithra Kundapura entered as wildcard contestants. Both were Bigg Boss Kannada Season 11 participants who initially entered Week 9 as special guests for the BB Palace task before Kiccha Sudeep announced their permanent wildcard status.
Rajath Kishan, popularly known as Bujji, emerged as the second runner-up of Bigg Boss Kannada 11 and brings fresh energy to the BBK12 house. His successful stint last season makes him a formidable competitor.

- Risha Gowda (Week 8 wildcard contestant)
- Cockroach Sudhi (despite winning the mini-finale)
- Mallamma & Chandraprabha (earlier weeks)
