The star-studded grand finale of Bigg Boss OTT 2, hosted by Salman Khan, occurred on August 14, 2023. Elvish Yadav secured victory, making history as he took home the trophy as a wild-card contestant. Abhishek Malhan took the first runner-up spot, while Manisha Rani became the second runner-up. In a recent interview, finalist Pooja Bhatt opened up about housemates being insecure of Elvish Yadav's entry in the show.

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Pooja Bhatt said, "Everyone got insecure of Elvishs’ entry. I was delighted that the house got new energy. If you know who you are, then somebody else’s entry will not upset you. When you get into a comfort zone and you start feeling ke now I have understood ke yaha pe kaun hai, iske sath mai ye game khelunga ya khelungi, then naya jabhi koi aa jata hai, toh aap hill jaate hai. Aur usse cover-up karne ke chakkar me you end up making a bigger mess. (When you get into a comfort zone and start feeling that you have understood what games to play with whom, then you get stunned when someone new comes up. So, to cover that, you end up making a bigger mess)."

She added, "Jaise maine aaj bhi kaha Salman ko, I said dono ke beech me ek bhaichaari hai, magar jabhi Elvish ko poocha gaya ke aapke paas agar ye mauka hota ke aap trophy de dete, usn dil se kaha ‘haa’ and I know he meant it. And Abhishek ne kaha ke ‘nahi, I would keep it’, which is also very honest of him, but that’s the inherent difference between them. But that doesn’t mean that Abhishek is a bad boy. I think he has also grown through this journey. I think that hopefully, he will understand what I tried to tell him over and over again. (I think that Elvish was also given a feeling that he is a wild card entry. He started believing when people did not take him as a winner. So, I told him to believe that he deserves to win. Like I told Salman also that both share a bond of brotherhood. But jab Elvish was asked if he would give his trophy to Abhishek, he heartily told ‘yes’. I know he meant it. And Abhishek told ‘no, I would keep it’ which is also very honest of him)."
