Ashmit Patel seems to have got some edge over his opponents in the present season of Big Boss. Despite of being tagged as a flop actor he displayed tremendous confidence, maturity and team spirit. In the Big Boss show of 6th January Big Boss asked the 4 remaining contestants- Ashmit, Shweta, Khali and Dolly to nominate house mate whom they would like to evict. Everyone was confused as all the contestants wanted to stay and they also wanted to desist from nominating anyone. It was Ashmit who got the housemates out of the dilemma as he volunteered to be nominated for eviction. When Ashmit told Big Boss that he was volunteering for eviction. Big Boss gave him a surprise gift of Rs. 5 Lakh. This money will be paid to Ashmit irrespective of the fact whether he wins the show or not.
