Bigg Boss OTT 2 has been entertaining the audience with the NOK-jokes among the contestants. It gets more entertaining when it’s Weekend Ka Vaar with host Salman Khan. However, because of the harsh environment in the house, some contestants often break down into tears or have a huge meltdown. From Aashika Bhatia having a meltdown because of being 'targeted by the housemates' to Shiv Thakare breaking down for not being trusted by his friends in the house, a look at other contestants who had a meltdown in the House of Bigg Boss:

2/14

Aashika Bhatia

Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi actress Aashika Bhatia, who entered the Bigg Boss OTT 2 as a wildcard contestant, had a major meltdown in the house after all the contestants started targeting her in the show and called her ‘zero’ and ‘unnoticed’.

Bharti Singh, Krushna Abhishek, Pooja Bhatt and others tried to console her after the shock waves task in the show last night.

3/14

Jiya Shankar

During one of the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes, Jiya Shankar went through a breakdown after she read some mean comments said by the contestants in the house against her. Jiya read the comments that said, “Jad says that Jiya is like his daughter but his actions show otherwise (Their bond is more like lovers and less like a father-daughter, which they claim). However, Jiya was unable to guess who said this and was told by the guest Terence Lewis that it was Abhishek Malhan and Manisha Rani. Jiya started crying and stated, “I can’t believe anyone can say such a thing about me and Jad.. this is very disgusting. I no longer know who are my people in the house.”

4/14

5/14

Sumbul Touqeer Khan

Sumbul Touqeer experienced a serious panic attack following an altercation with Shalin Bhanot and Tina Datta in Bigg Boss 16 house. Her chat with her father caused quite a stir in the house, and when she was challenged about it, she burst into tears and suffered from worry and terror. Nimrit had made a request to Bigg Boss to send a doctor for Sumbul as quickly as possible.

6/14

Shalin Bhanot

Shalin Bhanot was one of the strongest contestants in the Bigg Boss 16 house but after his fight with Tina Datta, he was feeling cornered by everyone in the house and was on the verge of depression and mental breakdown. Shalin could not take it anymore and broke down in the confession room. He asked Bigg Boss to let him leave the house as he doesn’t want to stay in it. Shalin further added, “Is this room soundproof? There are some things. There is no one to talk to in this house. It is stupid. It is ridiculous. Mujhe yeh ghar kaat raha hai. Kaatne ko daud raha hai. I am losing my sh*t right now. Can’t do this. Please get me off the grid.”

7/14

Shiv Thakare

One of the most loved contestants from the Bigg Boss 16 house, Shiv Thakare was called into the confession room by Bigg Boss after he saw him being heavy at heart. Shiv broke down in the confession room and revealed that he is missing his family. Shiv further added “I was missing my family and I couldn't hold it back. I wish there was someone with whom I could talk to. I kept feeling that am I going wrong in this game? People think he has done Bigg Boss Marathi, he would do all planning and plotting but I actually play from my heart and I have always kept friendship over all this. I am only concerned about what my mother is watching. I try not to break anybody's heart in this house. People think he must be planning something that's why I have come close to Shalin. I am close to everyone, there is no planning. I just wanted everyone to walk together. When weekend ka vaar happened, I didn't see my name coming up so I got tensed about whether I am playing ok or not. Even one word of appreciation would boost me."
