The latest episode of Bigg Boss 18 brought high drama as Shrutika Arjun found herself at the center of chaos. The episode opened with Shrutika packing her belongings, visibly distressed. She confided in Chum Darang, saying she felt abandoned when she needed support the most. Her frustration spilled over as she accused others in the house of treating her unfairly. She said, “when I really needed someone, that fellow barked like a dog to me.”
Shrutika accused of Chum forcing her to be in a group that is nice to Chum but not her. Chum, however, seemed unimpressed with Shrutika’s claims. She reminded Shrutika that distancing herself from the group once she was also a part, had been her own decision. The heated conversation escalated, with Karan Veer stepping in to defend Chum. He urged her not to take responsibility for Shrutika’s outbursts, adding that her behavior didn’t warrant sympathy.
In another part of the house, Yamini Malhotra confronted Shrutika. She accused her of creating unnecessary drama to gain attention and sympathy. Yamini called Shrutika manipulative and dismissed her emotional display as a calculated act. She pointed out that Shrutika’s immunity for two weeks meant she wasn’t at risk of eviction, making her theatrics pointless. Despite Chum’s attempts to calm the situation, Yamini’s anger boiled over as she labeled Shrutika cold-hearted. “You also know you won’t go, 2 cr deke thodi jaogi. Packing toh humein karni pad rahi hai,” she remarked.
The episode took a more personal turn as Yamini and Kashish Kapoor discussed Shrutika’s troubled relationship with her mother. Yamini revealed that Shrutika’s actions were deeply rooted in her quest for parental approval. She shared that Shrutika’s mother had never supported her decisions and often belittled her. Yamini believed that joining Bigg Boss was Shrutika’s way of proving her worth to her mother, who is a dedicated viewer of the show.
Kashish added to the conversation, recalling a moment when Shrutika confided in her. According to Kashish, Shrutika’s mother discouraged her from visiting home, preferring to meet her in neutral places like cafes. This emotional distance had clearly left a mark on Shrutika, who continued to seek validation from her parents. Kashish found the situation heartbreaking, noting how Shrutika was still trying to bridge the gap despite the rejection.
Yamini delved further into Shrutika’s struggles, explaining that despite being married into a wealthy family, her parents still lived modestly in a rented house. Yamini shared that Shrutika gave much of her earnings to her parents, showcasing her dedication to them. However, even her financial support wasn’t enough to win their love or approval.
As the drama unfolded, it became clear that Shrutika’s personal battles were influencing her behavior in the house. While some housemates sympathized with her plight, others questioned her motives, creating a clear divide. The tension reached a peak when Shrutika and Yamini clashed again, with accusations flying on both sides.
As the season progresses, Shrutika’s story is bound to continue stirring emotions and sparking debates, making her one of the most talked-about contestants in the house.
