This weekend Ka vaar was heavy on all the contestants of Bigg Boss 18 as emotional dynamics changed rapidly. People got to see real faces of each other. Trust became the most flimsy thing for the housemates.
Salman Khan tasked the contestants of Bigg Boss 18 with an intriguing challenge. Participants had to read statements made by fellow housemates about them without their knowledge and identify the source. When Karan Veer Mehra read a comment labeling him “non-deserving” for Chum, he correctly pointed to Shrutika Arjun as the speaker. As part of the task’s twist, Shrutika had to take a bitter shot after being identified. Lightening the moment, she teased Karan Veer, asking if his feelings for Chum were genuine. Karan Veer, with a playful smile, confessed, “I love everyone, but I love Chum a bit more.”
Later, Karan Veer recounted his feelings while conversing with Shilpa Shirodkar and Chum Darang. Shilpa, curious about the duo’s hesitance, asked if the show was the reason behind it. Karan Veer admitted that he might have genuine feelings for Chum and suggested they could connect outside the house. Shilpa reminded him about his honest admissions during the task. In a candid exchange, Karan Veer questioned Chum’s seriousness about his feelings, prompting her to laugh nervously and acknowledge her own anxieties.
Speaking privately to Shilpa, Karan Veer revealed his certainty about Chum’s affection. Shilpa agreed to this, noting that Chum’s emotions were evident. Chum herself coyly mentioned liking everyone but did not deny her fondness for Karan Veer. Shilpa urged Chum to remain open-minded and not dismiss potential feelings due to their current environment.
Karan Veer reiterated his feelings, expressing his strong connection with Chum. In response, Chum confirmed her feelings with a simple “yes,” admitting her mutual interest. Karan Veer later reflected on how his emotions deepened after learning that fans had begun pairing their names together.
Amidst this budding romance, tensions simmered. Shilpa Shirodkar faced a harsh comment that hurt deeply. The statement criticized her actions in the house, accusing her of double standards and questioning her maternal integrity. The remark mentioned her daughter and implied Shilpa was seeking attention by linking Karan Veer and Chum. Shilpa immediately recognized Shrutika as the source and confronted her.
Shrutika tried to clarify, but Shilpa remained unmoved, expressing her pain at the mention of her daughter. With visible emotion, she declared, “In this show, don’t bring up family.” The incident left her deeply hurt, and she described the comments as coming from “dirty minds.” Later, she broke down while speaking with Chum, admitting her frustration at the harsh environment. Chum offered her support, encouraging her resilience, but Shilpa lamented, “I can’t speak like them.”
Earlier in the week, Shrutika had voiced doubts about Shilpa’s motives, suggesting her behavior, including matchmaking efforts, was insincere. The recent family reference only escalated the simmering tension, leaving a heavy atmosphere in the house.
Shilpa read another comment that she is true to none. the person said, “When you fall for everything, you stand for nothing.” Shilpa correctly identified it as Karanveer Mehra. Salman Khan emphasized on the topic and informed her that he said such words when Shilpa was wounded, and he was congratulating Rajat for defeating Shilpa Shirodkar in Time God task. Shilpa was visibly upset. Calling Karanveer stupid, she said that even after everyone instigated her against Karanveer, she was standing firm with his. this left her hurt.
Housemates are puzzled in their own emotion. Loyalties are at stake in Bigg Boss 18 house.
