Bigg Boss 18: First ‘Mandali’: Esha Singh, Avinash Mishra, and Alice's friendship faces a rift

The relief from no eviction during the last Weekend Ka Vaar hosted by megastar Salman Khan on COLORS' ‘Bigg Boss 18’ is short-lived, as the brewing storm of drama and tension strikes with full force. This season’s first ‘Mandali’ - Esha Singh, Avinash Mishra, and Alice Kaushik witnessed many ups and downs in their first week on the show. 

However, this bond seems to be unraveling at the seams. What starts as playful banter between Esha and Avinash quickly spirals into something much more intense. Avinash, no longer laughing, feels insulted by Esha's jabs. Alice, sensing the tension, sides with Avinash, and what begins as a friendly joke explodes into a fiery confrontation. Esha, refusing to back down, takes a sharp jab at Alice, telling her to "stay out" of her dispute with Avinash. This stings Alice deeply, causing an undeniable shift in her behaviour toward her former close friend. Esha defends her approach, declaring that she won’t temper her tone and turn on her filter among friends. Is this the end of a great friendship?

In a house where secrets are few and far between, the contestants crack open a topic most people prefer to keep under wraps—farts! It all begins when Shrutika Arjun, in a moment of unfiltered honesty, shares a funny honeymoon memory. She reveals how she'd excuse herself to let one slip in private. But one fateful night, as she lay snug under the quilt, disaster struck—not once, but twice! Her husband hilariously suggested that they should get two quilts! Not one to miss out on a moment of comic gold, Shilpa jumps in, playfully recounting how her pregnancy gave her some... unexpected sound effects and her husband’s cheeky response. Chahat Pandey then chimes in with her own tale of mortification—farting in front of friends and becoming the butt of their jokes. As the contestants get some comic relief, the intense pressure of defying fate looms over them.
