On the latest Weekend Ka Vaar of Bigg Boss 18, Salman Khan addressed conflicts brewing in the house, particularly the strained dynamic between Karan Veer Mehra and Shilpa Shirodkar. Audience was buzzing with constant disloyalty of Shilpa towards Karan. As tensions ran high, Salman stepped in to offer clarity and perspective on the situation.
The week’s final task, which determined the “Time God of the House,” was a physical endurance challenge and became the centre of discussion. Karan Veer Mehra and Edin Rose were paired against Avinash Mishra and Eisha Singh. Contestants had to carry their partners without stopping, a test of both strength and stamina. After the task, housemates pointed out that she had made unnecessary rules and voiced their disappointment, believing Shilpa should have prioritized her bond with Karan by easing the rules.
Later, Karan approached Shilpa, questioning why she didn’t show flexibility. He argued that Edin weighed significantly more than Eisha, estimating a difference of 20 to 30 kg, and felt Shilpa should have considered that. He expressed frustration, wondering why she didn’t relax the rules for him in such a physically demanding challenge.
Salman Khan, known for his candid approach, addressed the issue directly. He shared his experience from filming Bajrangi Bhaijaan, explaining how difficult it was to carry even a child during the shoot. He noted that the weight difference between Edin and Eisha was considerable, which made the task even tougher. He empathized with Karan, acknowledging that such physical exertion is exhausting.
Salman commended both Karan and Avinash for their endurance, describing their efforts as “commendable.” He recognized the strain they endured and praised their determination to push through the challenge. His words helped validate Karan’s feelings, offering him some reassurance.
However, Salman also clarified the rules, ensuring fairness in the debate. He explained that Shilpa had not created any new rules during the task. The guidelines set by Bigg Boss were clear—moderators could not establish new regulations. Shilpa had enforced a rule that required continuous walking, with any pause resulting in disqualification. In her defense, Shilpa stated that she had consulted both pairs before implementing this rule, aiming to ensure transparency.
Salman’s intervention brought clarity to the situation, calming the tension between the contestants. His acknowledgment of the physical demands of the task, paired with his defense of Shilpa’s adherence to the rules, helped restore balance. The episode ended on a note of understanding, reminding viewers and housemates alike of the challenges that come with both physical endurance and navigating complex relationships in the house. But would audience accept this explanation that remained a question.
