Bigg Boss has introduced audiences to many unique talents over the years, including regional celebrities from different states. Two such names who brought Haryanvi and Rajasthani charm to the show are Sapna Choudhary and Gori Nagori. Known for their energetic performances, these two have left their mark on the show. Let’s dive into their Bigg Boss journey to see who made a bigger impression and how their careers have unfolded since.
A Look Back: Sapna and Gori in Bigg Boss House
Sapna Choudhary and Gori Nagori entered the Bigg Boss house in different seasons but both brought a distinct flair. Sapna joined the Bigg Boss 11 season in 2017, staying in the house for 42 days before her eviction. Known as the “Desi Queen,” Sapna won hearts with her straightforwardness and traditional charm.
Gori Nagori, known as the “Shakira of Rajasthan,” appeared on Bigg Boss 16 in 2022, where she managed to stay for 48 days. While her journey was short, she made the most of her time by showing her lively personality. Gori’s exit from the show was marked by a solid fan following, although the number of votes she received remains undisclosed.
Audience Support and Voting Popularity
In Bigg Boss, the number of public votes often reflects a contestant’s popularity. Sapna Choudhary gained a considerable amount of support from viewers and was backed by over 1 lakh votes at the time of her eviction. However, her journey was cut short by a task-based elimination rather than public votes.
Gori Nagori was nominated multiple times during her season, but her exact voting numbers were not shared with the public. Despite this, she garnered enough support to remain in the house longer than Sapna. Both dancers developed strong fan bases that have supported them outside the Bigg Boss platform as well.
Bigg Boss Captains: Did Either Become One?
Being appointed as the captain in Bigg Boss often gives contestants an edge, but both Sapna and Gori missed this opportunity. Although they played the game well and interacted confidently with other housemates, neither Sapna nor Gori could secure a captaincy, despite being among the house’s memorable personalities.
Post Bigg Boss: Career Growth for Sapna and Gori
Both Sapna and Gori have seen growth in their careers post-Bigg Boss, but the scale of projects has varied. After Bigg Boss 11, Sapna Choudhary received offers from Bollywood and worked in films like Nanu Ki Jaanu, featuring the song “Tere Thumke Sapna Choudhary,” which gained popularity. Later, she appeared in two more movies, Side Effects of BSP Dev and Dosti, released in 2019. Sapna’s fanbase in the Haryanvi music industry also flourished, adding to her success.
Gori Nagori, who emerged from Bigg Boss 16, has primarily focused on music videos rather than films. Known for her Rajasthani and Haryanvi dance styles, Gori worked on hit music videos like Kamra, Chhori Patakha, and Ghaghro, which were well-received by fans. While she hasn’t yet appeared in films, her popularity in the music video space has kept her busy with frequent releases.
Ongoing Projects and Future Prospects
Sapna Choudhary continues to thrive with new projects. Her next venture is her Bollywood film Madam Sapna, a biopic directed by Mahesh Bhatt, set to explore her journey as a regional sensation and Haryanvi music industry icon. This project is highly anticipated, adding to her already successful career.
Meanwhile, Gori Nagori is reportedly exploring film projects and other music videos. While details on her future ventures are still emerging, she remains popular with her fans in both the Rajasthani and Haryanvi music industries.
Cultural Influence and Public Recognition
Sapna Choudhary and Gori Nagori represent a unique blend of regional culture and dance, each leaving a distinct impact. Sapna is affectionately known as the “Desi Queen,” with her fan base mostly in Haryana and neighboring regions. She has paved the way for regional artists to find success in mainstream media, helping the Haryanvi dance form gain widespread recognition.
On the other hand, Gori Nagori’s fame as the “Shakira of Rajasthan” highlights her energetic dance style, which draws inspiration from both Rajasthani and Haryanvi traditions. Gori’s rise to fame has contributed to the popularity of Rajasthani folk dance, making her a prominent figure in Rajasthan’s music industry.
