You have to use array. it cannot directly display as array. You have to iterate one by one selected option and push it to jQuery array.

$('#f1').click(function(){    
   var rr = []; 
   $('.selectpicker :selected').each(function(i, selected){ 
        rr[i] = $(selected).text(); 
    });
    alert(rr);
});
