In Bigg Boss 16," the competition for a spot in the finale week has already gotten more intense. The "Weekend ka Vaar" showed that Tina Datta, Shalin Bhanot, and Soundarya Sharma had received the audience's least support from the audience, amid strong competition among housemates for the final ticket. Salman Khan then asked the housemates to collectively choose whom they want to remove out of the three using votes, keeping in mind the three-way tie. Soundarya was consequently booted out of the current season.
The first contestant to earn a ticket to the finals was Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia. Soundarya was the one evicted from the house after Salman asked the other housemates to decide who would be the week's evictee. In a statement, Soundarya expressed her wishes for Archana Gautam Singh to win the competition, saying, "I appreciate the viewers for their love and support. I appreciate that the contestants have helped me acquire lessons that I wouldn't have otherwise. I wish them all the best and can't wait to find out who wins this. I hope Archana wins the show.
One of the most hotly debated subjects both inside and outside the Bigg Boss 16 house during her time on the show was her relationship with former competitor Gautam Singh Vig. When Gautam left the Bigg Boss 16 house, he was blamed for ruining Soundarya's character, but he later rejected those claims.
Soundarya replied, "I am sure Gautam did not say those things, when speaking about the same matter. Why would he? Though I didn't know them prior to the show, I first met Gautam and Shalin (Bhanot) there. Because of this, I am unsure of what they said about me and why. Gautam is still someone I respect. Since I just came outside, I am unaware of any conversations that may have taken place regarding him or myself.
