Rubina Dilaik:
Rubina was one of the few contestants on Bigg Boss 14 who managed to stay real on the show. She showed amazing grit of admitting that life is not a cakewalk. And that you have to still walk the path, take on challenges up front and fight your own battles to the best of your capability.

Aly Goni:
The way Aly lived inside the house, he had an important lesson for all of us; that no matter how old you get or how challenging the situation around you gets, it is important to keep the child in you alive. Live life khul ke. Aly was truly an underdog in the show, who kept resurrecting after every defeat. Also Read - Bigg Boss 14 Grand Finale Live Updates: Rubina Dilaik lifts the winner's trophy
Rahul Vaidya:
The singer was as far away from his comfort zone as possible when he was in the Bigg Boss 14 house. At one point he also decided to leave the show. Basically, he is all of us. Giving up seems to be the easiest option when the going gets tough. But what you do after giving up is important. He came back and while he got tagged 'Bhagoda' and 'fattu', he didn't let that affect him. He knew what he is capable of and kept going on. The basic takeaway from Rahul's journey is that when life gives you a second chance, you better give it your all and make things happen.
Rakhi Sawant:
There is no one as entertaining as Rakhi Sawant. Be it inside the house, or at the grand finale, Rakhi had everyone's attention. And there is also no one as uninhibited as Rakhi. He has an amazing attitude of, "main jo hoon, woh hoon". He sings to her own tune while never letting her focus off the game. And what a great feeling it is to be own self, unapologetic about it and get what you truly deserve.
Nikki Tamboli:
Nikki was the least popular contestants in the Bigg Boss 14 house and she managed to become one of the most popular. So much so, that she made her way to the final five and the final three in the finale. Nikki's journey is a reminder to not to underestimate yourself and just go after what you want, without a care about the world.
