He left his village as a commoner but is now pretty much a celebrity in Bihar. Yes, we are referring to Deepak Thakur. The commoner who entered Bigg Boss 12 with Urvashi Vani as a Vichitra Jodi, beat the likes of actor Karanvir Bohra, to reach Top 3 of the recently concluded reality show. However, he made a very sensible decision, that of taking the money briefcase and exiting the show, after making himself a place in many hearts in the country. Bigg Boss 12: Deepak Thakur Picks Rs 20 Lakh and QUITS the Show
