Bigg Boss season 18 was full of drama, intense moments, and fierce confrontations, leaving viewers glued to their screens. But the post-show dynamics have sparked contestant’s own share of controversies. One of the most talked-about incidents after the finale was a comment made by Rajat Dalal, the second runner-up, on Elvish Yadav’s podcast. Rajat’s remark, comparing a woman to a maid, quickly went viral and stirred up reactions from both fans and fellow contestants.
Rajat’s comment was made when Elvish showed a picture of Eisha, another contestant from the show, asking his opinion. Rajat quipped that men marry women like Eisha to avoid hiring a maid since she could easily wash dishes. This remark, which was meant to be light-hearted, raised eyebrows and drew strong reactions, especially from Eisha herself. The video soon spread widely across social media platforms, capturing public attention for its controversial nature.
In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Eisha was asked about her thoughts on the viral video and how she felt about Rajat’s words. While the incident did upset her, Eisha chose not to judge Rajat solely based on that moment. She explained that Rajat had always been like a brother to her during their time on Bigg Boss and continues to hold that position in her life. Eisha clarified, “I’m the kind of sister who, if I don’t like something, will tell him privately with respect. If something bothers me, it’s a personal matter, and I’ll talk to him directly about it. I have every right to tell him if I don’t like something.”
Eisha made it clear that her approach was to maintain respect, even when confronting something that hurt her feelings. She also noted that after the podcast episode aired, Rajat reached out to her personally. He explained that he had been following a script and wasn’t speaking off the cuff. Though Rajat’s explanation helped clear up some confusion, Eisha admitted she was still hurt by his words. She said that if it was asked to her, she would have never expressed such a sentiment herself.
Despite her initial anger, Eisha reiterated that her bond with Rajat remained intact. She acknowledged that it was natural for siblings to have disagreements and that their relationship would continue to be strong. She described her feelings as a minor upset, something that was normal in any relationship, especially one as close as theirs. Eisha pointed out that just because she was angry didn’t mean their relationship was over. In fact, she considered Rajat a brother and would always hold him in that regard. If he made a mistake, she felt it was her right to tell him how she felt, but she wouldn’t let such moments come in the way of their connection.
Eisha’s maturity in handling the situation spoke volumes about her character. Rather than engaging in a public feud or trying to make the situation worse, she took the high road and addressed it privately with Rajat. Her ability to separate the personal from the public helped maintain her dignity and preserve her relationship with him.
Though the incident with Rajat created some tension, it didn’t overshadow the success and impact Eisha had on Bigg Boss season 18. As the fifth runner-up, she gained a considerable fanbase, and her chemistry with co-contestant Avinash Mishra was widely praised. Their bond, built on mutual respect and camaraderie, was one of the most talked-about aspects of the show. Eisha’s journey on Bigg Boss not only earned her recognition but also showcased her resilience in the face of controversy.
