The atmosphere in COLORS’ ‘Bigg Boss 18’ reaches a boiling point as Salman Khan makes a powerful return to address the mounting tensions in the house. The spotlight falls on Avinash, whose grip over the house’s ration has sparked controversy and concern. Salman, drawing from their previous connection, delivers a wake-up call about the abuse of power, particularly highlighting Chahat’s concerning situation of being deprived of food. “Power mein rehkar power ka durupyog karna, yeh galat hai,” Salman declares, his words through Avinash’s defences as he points out the contestant’s increasingly “grey” behaviour.
The drama intensifies as the mothers of both Chahat and Avinash enter the arena, turning the episode into an emotional battlefield. Chahat’s mother, raises serious concerns about Avinash’s treatment of her daughter, particularly regarding the food restriction in jail. The confrontation takes a dramatic turn when she points out that viewers are forming their own opinions about Avinash’s character through his actions. Meanwhile, Avinash’s mother stands firm in defence of her son, creating a powerful moment of instincts clashing over their children’s actions and behaviour.
In another compelling segment, Salman turns his attention to Karanveer, whose reluctance to step into the spotlight has become increasingly noticeable. With characteristic directness, Salman challenges him to break free from his shell, saying, “Apne aap ko khol kar rakho, jo tum ho wo bano.” The conversation takes an interesting turn when Karanveer’s complaints about Vivian’s audience come to light, adding another layer to the house’s serious dynamics.
The Bigg Boss heated up when Arbaaz Khan, Meher Vij, and Arshad Warsi joined for promotion of Banda Singh, challenging contestants with a task to assign labels to one another, stirring up fresh conflicts.
