The latest episode of Bigg Boss 18 delivered a storm of drama, with Sara Arfeen Khan at the center of a heated altercation. The chaos erupted during Time God task where Shrutika Arjun eliminated Sara, prompting her to unleash her frustration. Refusing to accept defeat, Sara disrupted the game, targeting Avinash Mishra and Chum Darang. She pulled their ski-board aggressively, causing both to fall. Shilpa Shirodkar intervened to help Avinash and Chum, but Sara’s actions escalated further.
Karan Veer Mehra stepped in, grabbing Sara’s hands to restrain her and moving her away. He firmly questioned her actions, repeatedly asking if she had lost her senses. In the struggle, Sara fell on the stairs and retaliated by scratching Karan’s hands. Despite the tension, Shilpa and Shrutika managed to separate the two. Sara, still fuming, stormed into the house, accusing Karan of pinning her down during the scuffle.
Inside, Sara demanded strict action from Bigg Boss and claimed Karan had no right to touch her. She removed her microphone in protest and demanded an apology from her housemates, accusing them of labeling her as unstable. She told them she felt terrified and humiliated, alleging no one checked on her well-being during the incident. Her accusations painted Karan as overly aggressive, and she threatened legal action if the makers failed to address the matter.
Shilpa’s attempt to calm Sara only worsened the situation. Sara lashed out, calling Shilpa unkind and accusing her of pushing her earlier during the task. Later, Vivian Dsena tried to mediate, asking Sara to clarify her version of events. She alleged that Karan’s actions were intimidating and left her shaken. She also claimed that Avinash had initially exerted his weight on her shoulders during the task, but she did not confront him at the time. Regarding Karan, she stated she felt trapped, showing marks on her hands as proof.
She emphasised, “I fell, my clothes were on top, I was scared and shivering. Bigg Boss has to take action, otherwise I will call my lawyers.”
Vivian urged Sara to stick to the facts, but Sara stood her ground, suggesting the makers review the footage to confirm her claims. She further threatened legal action outside the house if no resolution was provided. Meanwhile, Karan dismissed the allegations, refusing to discuss the matter, stating it was between him, Sara, and the show’s makers.
The incident divided the house. Avinash Mishra defended Karan, asserting that Sara had tripped on her own and was now twisting the story and that physical push was needed for his and Chum’s safety. Kashish, during a conversation with Sara, listened as she made controversial remarks about Karan’s past relationships. These comments were muted in the telecast.
Outside the house, Rajiv Adatia expressed his disappointment on social media, accusing Sara of playing the victim and excusing her own aggressive actions. His post read, “When Sara hits people, it’s ok. When she throws things, it’s ok. Today, Karan tried to hold her back, and now she’s the victim! Rehnde Sara!! The audience is not dumb! #bb18.”
The explosive episode left the contestants divided and tensions running high, with Sara’s actions and accusations continuing to fuel controversy both inside and outside the house.
