Mumbai, Nov 23: Swedish actress Elli Avram, who has stepped into Bollywood with "Mickey Virus", was Saturday evicted from reality show "Bigg Boss - Saath 7".
The 23-year-old, who is the daughter of veteran Swedish actor Maria Granlund, was active in all the tasks given to the housemates by Bigg Boss and she tried to maintain her cool despite volatile situations in the house.
Elli was also the show's host Salman Khan's favourite contestant and he often referred to her as "paanch saal pehle ki Katrina Kaif", comparing her looks to how his former ladylove Katrina looked five years ago.
Her jolly nature helped her strike.
