Rajat Dalal, who rose to fame with Bigg Boss 18, is once again in the spotlight. Known for his outspoken nature, Rajat has stirred controversy with his recent comments. Appearing on Faisal Shaikh’s podcast, the former reality show contestant didn’t hold back as he spoke about his journey on the show and the bonds he made and questioned.
During his conversation with Faisal, also known as Faisu, Rajat was asked to comment on relationships that seemed fake in the Bigg Boss house. Without hesitation, Rajat named the friendship between Karan Veer Mehra and Shilpa Shirodkar. He seemed skeptical of their closeness and suggested it was all for the cameras. His words added fuel to what was already a much-discussed topic during the season.
Explaining why he doubted their bond, Rajat made a sharp remark. “Ek insaan 45 ka hai aur doosra 50, maa-bete ka rishta kaise inka ho sakta hai?” According to Rajat, the relationship appeared forced and lacked genuine emotion.
Throughout Bigg Boss 18, viewers saw Shilpa and Karan Veer growing close, often supporting each other in difficult moments. Many appreciated their friendship, calling it mature and comforting. But Rajat clearly disagreed. He felt their bond was built on convenience rather than sincerity.
Rajat didn’t stop there. He also talked about his own connections from the show, especially with actress Eisha Singh. During his time in the house, Rajat shared a warm bond with Eisha, which continued even after the show ended. He called her bond genuine and something he still cherishes. Speaking of their rapport, Rajat said, “Eisha ki baat karu toh usne Vivian, Avinash aur mere se banaya rishta. Avinash ke saath trip kar rahi hai aur mujhse bhi baat hoti rehti hai, so that is real.”
Rajat’s respect for Eisha was visible during the show as well. He often referred to her as a younger sister and was protective of her in the house. That sentiment hasn’t changed. His recent statements suggest that, unlike many temporary friendships formed inside the Bigg Boss house, his connection with Eisha has stood the test of time.
This isn’t the first time Rajat has made bold statements. During his stint on the show, he often found himself in heated arguments and wasn’t afraid to challenge popular contestants. His rivalry with Karan Veer Mehra was well-known, and his occasional disagreements with Shilpa also made headlines.
With his recent comments, Rajat has brought back the spotlight on relationships formed under constant surveillance inside Bigg Boss house, raising questions about what’s real and what’s simply strategy.
