Amid the disheartening news of Baba Siddiqi’s death, and threats on the life of Salman Khan, the host appeared in the weekend ka vaar of Bigg Boss 18. He looked upset but still decoded to go on with his commitments. Yet he delivered his part with grace.
In the latest Bigg Boss 18 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Shilpa Shirodkar took a bold stand, continuing her hunger strike as a protest against fellow contestant Avinash Mishra’s actions. Despite the efforts of her housemates to convince her to eat, the actress refused, bringing the atmosphere in the house to a boiling point. Shilpa tearfully stated that she would only break her fast if Avinash apologized for humiliating her. After witnessing her emotional breakdown, Avinash ultimately agreed to apologize, bringing an end to the tense food fight. With the issue finally resolved, the show’s host, Salman Khan, entered and began the episode with his signature flair.
However, the real drama of the episode stemmed from a fiery exchange between Salman Khan and life coach Arfeen Khan. It all started when Salman asked Arfeen to explain his profession, which led to a heated argument. Arfeen, accompanied by his wife Sara, felt offended, accusing Salman of being biased toward actors. Tensions escalated when Salman remarked on Arfeen’s lack of listening skills, to which Arfeen provocatively replied with a “no.” Sara also chimed in, accusing the host of targeting them and showing favoritism toward the actors in the house.
Salman didn’t hold back and further addressed the ongoing food dispute involving Avinash. He expressed his frustration with how Avinash had been accused of making women feel unsafe, pointing out the gravity of such accusations made on national television. He asked contestants to consider the impact these allegations have on a person’s family, drawing a personal parallel by sharing that he himself has faced false accusations in the past.
In a rare moment of vulnerability, Salman admitted to Shilpa Shirodkar that he had not wanted to host that night’s episode, but was bound by his professional commitment. He urged her not to let Avinash’s behavior affect her emotions, reminding her that the house is ultimately a test of willpower.
The episode took an even more emotional turn when Salman revealed the personal and professional pressures he has been facing recently, particularly in light of the recent assassination of his close friend Baba Siddique. Despite the escalating threats against his own life, including those from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang, Salman continues to fulfill his hosting duties with the support of a heightened security presence.
Amid the drama, there was a lighter moment when contestant Karan Veer Mehra candidly expressed his feelings for Chaahat Pandey after she revealed her attraction to him. Their flirty exchange brought some much-needed levity to the otherwise intense episode.
Adding to the entertainment, Krushna Abhishek and the Laughter Chefs team joined the housemates for a fun-filled cooking competition, leaving the audience with laughs and jalebis.
Bigg Boss 18 continues to deliver high-voltage drama, emotional revelations, and unexpected twists, keeping fans glued to their screens.
