Bigg Boss OTT 2 is one of the biggest reality shows where participants from different walks of life are under constant surveillance. The contestants cut ties from the outside world, leisure, and electrical gadgets that challenge them mentally, emotionally, and physically. In order to understand what happens with their minds when they are confined in a house with strangers and difficult situations, Pinkvilla interviewed Kavya Kanupuru – a counseling psychologist/psychotherapist (hacknart). Ms. Kanupuru helped us understand how the personalities of the contestants change and why there is an emotional dependency on co-contestants. She also analyzed the minds of Abhishek Malhan, Bebika Dhurve, Manisha Rani, Pooja Bhatt and Jiya Shankar.
