Ashutosh Kaushik has been named the winner of Bigg Boss 2, a show that enthralled audiences across India and had become a topic for conversation and debate in colleges, workplaces and even roadside tea-stalls.Ashutosh was one of the three finalists on the show along with Zulfi Syed, who is better known for his brush with Bollywood, and Raja Chaudhury, who tasted a bit of fame while dancing along side his now separated wife, television actress Shweta Tiwari.
Ashutosh was also the winner of Mr Honest title, which was conferred on him by Bigg Boss. That resulted in his one-night stay in the Bigg Boss special room watching movies, as a gift.
Ashutosh's is truly be a 'rags to riches' story. He hails from the small town of Saharanpur, in Uttar Pradesh where his only source of income until six months back was a tiny dhaba.
His early morning dance on a wake-up song along with his humorous antics and one-liners became his trademark and a major source of entertainment for the viewers.Though Ashutosh shared a good relationship with almost every participant, his proximity with former Miss World Diana Hayden raised eyebrows inside the house and caused much flutter in the media.
Life did a u-turn when Ashutosh won the fifth season of MTV's adventure reality show, Roadies. Winning Bigg Boss 2 is the icing on the cake, thanks to the big moolah - that will make life a lot easier for this small towner.
The finale, called Jumbo Finale was attended by both Bigg Boss host Shilpa Shetty as well as Bollywood star Akshay Kumar who was there to promote the animation movie, Jumbo.
