Bigg Boss 18 wrapped up with Karan Veer Mehra emerging victorious, surpassing strong contender Vivian Dsena. His win sparked mixed reactions from fans and celebrities. While many cheered his triumph, others believed the title should have gone to Dsena.
Shilpa Shinde, former Bigg Boss 11 winner and a close friend of Karan, didn’t hold back her thoughts. In an interview, she accused the show’s makers of pre-deciding the winner. She remarked that some viewers had started to realize that the results weren’t entirely organic. She clearly stated, “I don’t know, kuch logo ko pata chal gaya ki makers khud hi decide karte hain winner. Khud hi banate hain, apne ghar se uthakar late hain aur khud hi dikhate hain.” Commenting on the channel’s strategy she said, “Aap ek limit tak logon ko ullu banaa sakte ho, uske baad nahin.”
Interestingly, despite her criticism of the show’s fairness, Shilpa had supported Karan throughout the season. Their friendship was well-known, especially after their bond in Khatron Ke Khiladi 11, where Karan had also won. Entering the Bigg Boss house fresh off his victory in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, Karan quickly became a fan favorite. His sharp game strategy, humor, and engaging presence won over the audience, leading him to secure the trophy. He edged past two formidable opponents, Vivian Dsena and Rajat Dalal, to claim the title.
Post-finale reactions flooded social media. Several contestants, including Arfeen Khan, Rajat Dalal, Muskan Bamne, and Avinash Mishra, Kashish Kapoor voiced their disappointment. They believed Dsena deserved to win. While Karan enjoyed his victory, the debate over the fairness of the result continued.
