Bigg Boss Kannada 7: From being an introvert to showcasing girl power: A look at Deepika Das's journey

Deepika was one of the most expected candidates to enter the house during the season. Although she was tight-lipped about her entry to the show, her name was in the news as the expected contestant.

The actress had completely been reserved in the initial days of the season. She would hardly mingle with her inmates. However, things changed after she became the leader of team Saptashva.

Deepika was nominated as the leader of a team during the luxury budget task. The actress named her team as 'Saptashwa' and was appreciated by all for her captaincy.

While leading the Saptashwa team, Deepika showcased her girl power during a luxury budget task. From being hit by water balloons to standing on one foot on a triangular block for eight hours, the actress displayed her stamina and patience. By the end of the task, she managed to stand in the single foot on the pyramid for nearly three and a half hours.

Deepika has been involved in a few ugly verbal spats inside the house. Especially, during the luxury budget tasks, where the housemates were divided into two teams, she has raised her voice against her opponent team for foul play.

In a fun task called Chakravyuha, each housemate had to enact a daring task given by the others. The mercury level went up when Deepika Das enacts the role of a flirtatious teacher. But things go out of hand when Kishan, in the spur of the moment, tackles Deepika into the pool with her microphone on.

As a penalty for their negligence, Bigg Boss asked the housemates to give away the entire sugar jar from their house.

Bigg Boss recently assigned Deepika Das a secret task, according to which she has to convince Shine Shetty to trim his beard. Bigg Boss also mentioned that the housemates will gain extra luxury budget points if Deepika succeeds in the task. Owing to Deepika's request, Shine Shetty, who has been sporting a rough bearded look, was seen trimming his beard.

Deepika Das and Shine Shetty's growing friendship has always created a buzz since the beginning. Shine has always shown interest in Deepika. He has always admired Deepika and was seen complimenting her style statements since the premiere of the show.

During the luxury budget task, 'Gandharva and Rakshasha', Deepika, who portrayed both the roles as Gandharva and Rakshasha, managed to switch roles between the good and bad is worth a mention.

The actress was on cloud nine when she earned the 'Kicchana Chappal' by her favourite host for her tremendous performance during the fourth week of the season.

After all the high drama and giving a tough competition to her inmates, Deepika emerged as one of the finalists of the season.
