Karan Veer Mehra’s Bigg Boss 18 win has left many disappointed. While some claim that finalist Vivian Dsena should have won Salman Khan’s show, others argue that Karan did not deserve to lift the trophy. Recently, television producer Sandeep Sikand also reacted to Karan’s victory and claimed that it was not based on audience votes, as fans believed, but on his personality. His statement has reignited debates over the show’s credibility, with viewers calling the finale rigged.
Therefore, former winner Shilpa Shinde has also bashed the makers of Bigg Boss 18 now. In a statement, the actress alleged that the winner of the controversial reality show is fixed and claimed that makers can no longer befool viewers.
“I don’t know, kuch logo ko pata chal gaya ki makers khud hi decide karte hain winner. Khud hi banate hain, apne ghar se uthakar late hain aur khud hi dikhate hain. Toh channel ki jo bhi strategy hai, I think logon ko pata chal gayi hai. Aap ek limit tak logon ko ullu banaa sakte ho, uske baad nahin,” Shilpa said.
Bigg Boss 18’s grand finale was held on January 19. While Karan Veer Mehra emerged as the winner of the show, Vivian Dsena and Rajat Dalal were the first and the second runners-up respectively. Other contestants in the finale were Avinash Mishra, Chum Darang and Eisha Singh.
Following Karan’s win, several Bigg Boss 18 contestants were seen expressing disappointment with the audiences’ decision. Among others, Arfeen Khan shared a post on her X handle and wrote, “He pinned down my wife, Salman confirmed, he made a mockery of Vivian’s child, a fine example for the world of a winner. Rajat Dalal should have won, if not him, Avinash did more than the so-called winner from the beginning. Vivian [Dsena] was honourable. What a world we live in.”
