Tonight’s episode of Bigg Boss 18 delivered its trademark mix of drama, chaos, and intense arguments. The spotlight was on the “Time God” task, which led to utter pandemonium as contestants clashed over rule violations and unfair decisions.
The conflict began with Rajat Dalal, who quickly became the center of controversy. In the first round, Rajat’s aggressive gameplay led to accusations of breaking the rules. Housemates claimed that he has pushed Shrutika. Despite the uproar from other contestants, task moderator for the first round, Kashish Kapoor declared his performance valid and disqualified Shrutika Arjun, who had fallen to the floor first. This decision sparked resentment among the housemates, who felt Rajat should have been penalized instead.
The second round saw Shrutika getting back at Rajat. She being the task moderator of second round disqualified him after Chaahat Pandey intervened, knocking a bowl out of his hands. This triggered Rajat, who retaliated by eliminating Chum Darang when it was his turn to moderate. He also turned off the bowl from Chum’s hand. What followed was a fiery exchange as contestants like Avinash Mishra, Karan Veer Mehra, and Digvijay Rathee accused Rajat of being unfair.
Tempers flared when Rajat and Chaahat clashed. Chaahat called Rajat “dogla”, sparking a heated argument. Rajat, clearly angered, brought up the votes Chaahat received during the elections, which further escalated the tension. Chahat then retaliated asking him if should count legal cases on him. Avinash also voiced his frustration, accusing Rajat of ruining the task and demanding Kashish make Chum the “Time God.” He said he wanted to win the Tsk Firly not with someone’s help. However, Kashish stood her ground, refusing to comply and removing Shrutika from the task instead.
The drama didn’t end there. Chum confronted Rajat, questioning his tactics. Rajat’s response, “Na kisike baap se darta main… Agar himmat hain, bahar jhelne ka bolo,” added fuel to the fire. Chum also confronted him that she hasn’t done wrong with him then why he took revange on him. Digvijay challenged him, asking why he was threatening housemates with consequences beyond the house.
After the task, Rajat confided in Sara Khan, expressing his intention to teach Chaahat a lesson. He stated, “Usko uski aukaat na dikhayi na is ghar mein, uska haisiyat kya hain.” Sara advised him against any physical confrontation, and Rajat assured her he would not cross that line.
The episode stirred reactions not just within the house but also among viewers. Kamya Panjabi, a vocal fan of the show, criticized the contestants for their poor handling of the task. She took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her disappointment, writing, “Task inko samaj nahi aata ya samajna chahte hi nahi hai??? Phir ek achha task waste ho gaya… #BiggBoss18.”
With rising tensions and unresolved conflicts, tonight’s episode has left viewers eagerly anticipating what’s next. The “Time God” task may have ended, but its fallout will undoubtedly shape the dynamics in the house moving forward.
