Bigg Boss 18 continues to be a whirlwind of drama, intrigue, and heated exchanges, captivating audiences with its unpredictable twists. The recent nomination task has sparked controversy, particularly with actress Kishwer Merchant calling out the show's favoritism towards certain contestants. She voiced her concerns about Avinash Mishra and Eisha Singh, accusing the showmakers of being biased in their treatment of the duo.
Kishwer’s Outspoken Criticism
In a series of tweets, Kishwer Merchant expressed her frustration with the way Avinash and Eisha are treated on the show. She remarked, "Avinash Ko lagta hai yeh Bigg Boss ka bada bhai hai ... maybe he is, every Saturday uski image building hoti hai," implying that Avinash's image is being carefully crafted by the showmakers.
She further accused Avinash and Eisha of acting with an air of superiority, believing that Bigg Boss always has their backs. Kishwer specifically criticized the favoritism shown towards them, stating, "Yeh Avinash aur Eisha itni Akkad mein baat karte hain about everyone only coz Bigg Boss unke pocket mein hain," suggesting that they are only behaving this way because they feel untouchable due to the show's support.
Controversy Over Rule-Breaking Contestants
The recent nomination task also saw Kishwer pointing out inconsistencies in how certain contestants' mistakes are handled. She highlighted that Eisha Singh was caught violating the rules by counting from the back seat, yet this was overlooked by the makers. Kishwer questioned why this was not exposed, saying, "Why would they justify all Avinash's mistakes in the Saturday episode?"
Kishwer’s tweets reflect the growing discontent among some fans who feel that Bigg Boss 18 is turning a blind eye to certain contestants’ mistakes in favor of building their image.
Shrutika Arjun Eliminated Just Before the Grand Finale
The drama reached new heights when Shrutika Arjun was eliminated just before the Grand Finale, along with Rajat Dalal and Chaahat Pandey, both of whom were also up for elimination. This unexpected twist has left fans questioning the show's decision-making process, especially considering Kishwer's previous comments on the show’s biased behavior.
Kishwer also wondered how Avinash and Eisha would have reacted if the roles were reversed and Eisha had been in Chum’s place during the task. "We all know how Avinash and Eisha would have reacted if Eisha was in Chum’s place and Vivian was in Mehra’s," she wrote, hinting at the double standards she perceives in the show’s treatment of certain contestants.
The Ongoing Drama
Bigg Boss 18 remains a hot topic of discussion, with fans and former contestants like Kishwer Merchant not holding back when it comes to criticizing the show’s actions. As the season nears its finale, it will be interesting to see if these allegations of favoritism have any impact on the remaining contestants' chances of making it to the top.
