Bigg Boss 18: Vivian Dsena and Chahat Pandey clash once again!

The hunger games in COLORS’ ‘Bigg Boss 18’ are far from over, with the stakes growing ever more intense. Arfeen Khan and Avinash Mishra take the throne, controlling the housemates' ration distribution. But the catch is brutal—each contestant must trade a personal item in exchange for food, knowing it will be thrown into a blazing pit and reduced to ashes. The tension escalates as Karan Veer Mehra flatly refuses to participate, making it clear that he would rather starve or steal than fuel Avinash's ego by sacrificing even something as trivial as a toenail. He says, “Main apne pair ke angoothe ka naakhun tak nahi chadhaunga to satisfy Avinash’s ego.” His defiance sets the stage for an inevitable clash between the two rivals. Meanwhile, Avinash’s friend Esha Singh begs for Avinash’s mercy to keep him from demanding the sacrifice of her mother’s shawl. Even Esha’s copious tears don’t soften Avinash. Will their friendship suffer after this incident?

Amidst the chaos, emotions take a devastating turn when Avinash’s close friend, Esha Singh, finds herself in a heart-wrenching dilemma. Desperation washes over her as she pleads with Avinash to spare her from the cruel demand of sacrificing her mother’s cherished shawl in exchange for ration. Her tears flow freely, but they fail to soften Avinash's resolve. He remains cold and unyielding, watching as Esha breaks down. Will their friendship, once so strong, survive this brutal test, or has Avinash's merciless decision irreparably tear them apart? 

Meanwhile, Bigg Boss takes Shilpa Shirodkar on a deeply emotional journey through time. She finds herself face-to-face with a younger, more determined AI version of herself. The younger Shilpa, unflinching in her criticism, confronts her present-day self, scolding her for having lost her fiery spirit and shedding tears too easily. She reminds her older self of the strength and voice she once had, prompting a tearful vow from the current Shilpa to regain that strength—not only for her own sake but also for her daughter. Will the house witness a stronger Shilpa from now on?

On another front, tensions flare between Vivian Dsena and Chahat Pandey over a seemingly small issue—a blanket stained with haldi. Vivian, frustrated by the mess, calls Chahat out for soiling his blanket, and things quickly escalate when Chahat refuses to apologize. Vivian criticizes her for not taking responsibility, going so far as to suggest that even in a court of law, Chahat would argue with the judge. In turn, Chahat snaps back, implying that Vivian acts like a dictator. The argument intensifies, with Vivian insisting the blanket reeks of haldi, while Chahat, unbothered, suggests he ask Bigg Boss to have it cleaned, leaving their spat unresolved. Will this fight make it to the Weekend Ka Vaar?
