In the upcoming episode of ‘Bigg Boss 18’, Salman Khan confronts Ashneer Grover over his past remarks. A newly released promo shows the Bollywood superstar welcoming the ‘Shark Tank India’ fame as a guest but not holding back when addressing Grover’s controversial statements.

Salman directly questioned Grover, saying, “Mere baare me kehte huye suna hai that you have signed me. Sab figures bhi aapne galat bataye. Toh phir yeh dogalapan kya hai? (I heard you talked about signing me and mentioned all the wrong figures. So what is this double standard?)” Grover responded politely, “Aapko jo brand ambassador kia, I think that was one of the smartest moves.”

However, Salman wasn’t convinced and continued to challenge Grover, remarking, “Yeh jo attitude ab hai, tab wahan nahi dikha tha (This attitude you are showing now wasn’t apparent back then).” Grover explained that his comments from the podcast had been taken out of context.

Shoot se pehle mila tha usko brief karne ke liye ki company kya hai. Toh teen ghante baitha tha uske saath, uske manager ne bol diya ki photo nahi khichwani hai, sir thoda bura maan jaate hain. Maine kaha saale, maine bola, nahi khichwaunga photo, bhaad main ja tu. Matlab aisi kaunsi heropanti ho gayi (I met Salman when I briefed him for a sponsored ad shoot. I sat with him for three hours, and then his manager told me that Salman would not take a photo with me. I said I won’t take a picture, you go to hell).”

The heated exchange in the *Bigg Boss* promo has already sparked curiosity among fans about what will unfold in the full episode.

She says, “Vivian mujhe itna toh haq hai aapko launch karne ke baad, kuch sawaal main khud kar sakun. Agar aapne 8-10 kaam kiya toh kya?? Toh kya? Ghar ke saree log aapko pedestal par chadha dein?” (After launching you, I have the right to ask you some questions. So what if you’ve done 8-10 projects? Does that mean everyone in the house should put you on a pedestal?). Vivian responds, “I never said that…” Ektaa doesn’t hold back, responding sharply, “Toh ye kaam ka ghamand aap kisko dikha rahe hain? Vivian Ghar ke conversation se door bhagta hai aur agar aisa he karna tha toh 8 saal baad aap kyun aaye Bigg Boss par?” (So, who are you showing this arrogance about your work to? Vivian, you avoid conversations in the house, and if this is how you planned to be, then why did you come to Bigg Boss after eight years?)

Ektaa also raises a point about Chahat Pandey, accusing her of using the “woman card” as an excuse. Ektaa mimics Chahat, saying, “Chahat ji ye national television pe ek ladki ko aisa bola? Lekin aap jab ye bolti ho ke aap mujhse aise kaise baat kar sakte hain, kyunki main ek ladki hoon.. toh main aapko ek baat bata doon aap yahan ek khiladi hain… Aap aurat aur mard ka problem nahi bana sakte aap yahan saari aurton ke liye baat karti hain.. lekin aap khud ke liye ladiye..” (Chahat ji, you said this to a girl on national television? But when you say, ‘How can you speak to me like that because I’m a woman…’ let me tell you something—you are here as a contestant. You cannot make this a women-versus-men issue. You’re speaking for all women, but here, you need to fight for yourself).

Lastly, Ektaa slams Rajat Dalal for his aggressive behavior, warning that had he invoked his father’s name, she would have entered the house to teach him a lesson. The tension continues to build in ‘Bigg Boss 18’, with the drama intensifying between contestants.

Bigg Boss 18: Double Eviction Shocker – Has Nyra Banerjee Been Ousted?

October 27, 2024, 11:01 pm

The excitement in the Bigg Boss 18 house reached new heights with this week’s shocking double eviction. Fans watched in suspense as actress Muskan Bamne, known for her role in Anupama, was evicted on Friday. However, a bigger surprise awaited the housemates and viewers – another eviction was on the way.

Muskan Bamne’s Eviction: Here’s What Happened

Muskan’s eviction was not solely based on audience votes but on a house-ranking system led by Avinash Mishra and Arfeen Khan. Muskan, Tajinder Singh Bagga, and Sara Arfeen Khan were placed at the bottom. Bigg Boss tasked the housemates with deciding which contestant had overstayed their welcome. With the majority of contestants voting against her, Muskan received the most “Get Out” stickers, sealing her fate in the house.

Nyra Banerjee’s Exit: Reports Suggest Double Elimination

While Muskan’s exit was confirmed, fans and reports from sources like NDTV, News24 Hindi, and Etimes suggest Nyra Banerjee may also be leaving the house. The Pishachini and Divya Drishti star, who reportedly brought a staggering 400 outfits to the show, has received the least votes this week, making her the rumored second elimination. However, confirmation of her eviction is anticipated during Sunday’s *Weekend Ka Vaar* episode.

Social Media Buzz: Nyra Banerjee’s Eviction Trends Online

The eviction news spread across social media, with platforms like X (formerly Twitter) buzzing with hashtags and speculations about Nyra’s eviction. Popular Bigg Boss insider Khabri even shared posts hinting at her elimination, further fueling the rumors.

What’s Next for Bigg Boss 18?

As fans brace for Sunday’s Weekend Ka Vaar to confirm Nyra’s exit, Bigg Boss 18 continues to keep its viewers on edge with its dramatic twists and turns.

Bigg Bos 18: Internet Cheers Karan Veer Mehra’s Witty Takedown of Avinash Mishra

October 21, 2024, 12:57 pm

The conflict between Karan Veer Mehra and Avinash Mishra escalated in the recent episode of Bigg Boss 18. During the Sunday show, Avinash insulted Karan Veer and warned him to stop discussing his family. Their heated exchange almost led to a physical confrontation before other contestants stepped in.

Dramatic Taco Task

Featured guests Krushna Abhishek, Sudesh Lehri, Ankita Lokhande, and Vicky Jain participated in a cooking challenge on the show. Karan Veer was tasked with preparing a taco that represented Avinash’s qualities. While attempting to force-feed the taco to Avinash, Karan Veer accidentally spilled it all over him, which prompted Avinash to mock his behavior.

Family Remarks Spark Outrage

Karan Veer’s comments about Avinash’s upbringing further ignited tensions. “Abhi sab sikhayenge jaane se pehle. Tension mat le, sab sikh kar jayega tu. Papa aa gaye hain, don’t worry,” Karan Veer said, implying he would teach Avinash a lesson before his exit. Avinash responded angrily, stating, “I have always said that there will be fights and arguments. But if one crosses the boundary and involves family, I’ll break the person. I’ll not see who is standing in front.”

Today’s episode confirms that #KaranveerMehra is definitely going to be on top! ? The way he handled the kid trying to bully and provoke him in front of the guest was just commendable. Didn’t give the attention seeker any attention… Moj kar di! ? #BiggBoss18 #WeekendKaVaar… pic.twitter.com/ev38TfzVVk

Avinash’s Ultimatum

Following the guests’ departure, Avinash confronted Karan Veer again, warning him, “Abbe nalle sun. Tereko last time bol raha hoon, agar dobara mere family pe pahucha na main bhool jaunga yeh show kya hota hai aur phodh dunga…saala, takla, nalla.” This translates to him threatening Karan Veer not to bring up his family again or face serious consequences.

When Avinash criticized Karan Veer’s upbringing, Karan Veer replied, “Woh teri problem hai. Mere ko Bigg Boss ne bola hai, ‘maze karo’.” This response seemed to infuriate Avinash further, leading to more heated exchanges.

Internet Reacts to Karan Veer’s Performance

As the episode unfolded, Bigg Boss intervened to announce Hema Sharma as the first contestant to be evicted. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their opinions, with one saying, “Karan is on another level, the best male contestant of Bigg Boss history ever! When I say this I mean it.” Another comment read, “Hence proved Avinash is #KaranveerMehra’s puppet.”

One user tweeted, “The fact that KV is roaming around and eating while Avinash is shouting at the top of his voice, hahaahaa.” Another pointed out that Karan Veer’s comments were harmless, while Avinash had crossed the line by referring to family issues.

A Star-Studded Season

Bigg Boss 18 features a diverse cast, including Shilpa Shirodkar, Chahat Pandey, Vivian Dsena, Chum Darang, Alice Kaushik, Nyrraa Banerjee, Muskan Bamne, Shehzada Dhami, Tajinder Bagga, Gunaratna Sadavarte, Rajat Dalal, Eisha Singh, and Shrutika. The theme for this year’s season is “Time Ka Taandav,” and it airs on Colors TV and JioCinema.

Kiss Shocks Bigg Boss Fans: Avinash & Karan’s Viral Video Exposed

October 20, 2024, 11:20 pm

Another drama-filled day in the Bigg Boss 18 house saw a heated confrontation between contestants Avinash Mishra and Karan Veer Mehra. The duo, known for their ongoing rivalry, once again engaged in a fiery argument. But what caught fans off guard was a viral video that appeared to show the two sharing a kiss. Here’s the truth behind the AI-generated clip that has left the internet in shock.

What Actually Happened Between Avinash and Karan?

The viral 4-second video, which surfaced on social media platform X, left fans confused as it appeared to show Avinash and Karan locking lips—an unexpected twist given their history of constant bickering. However, it turns out the clip was nothing more than a fan-made, AI-generated video, misleading viewers into believing the two contestants had shared an intimate moment.

The reality? There was no kiss in the latest episode promo. Instead, the two contestants were once again embroiled in a heated argument, continuing their on-screen feud.

The Heated Confrontation: Taco Task Gone Wrong

In the most recent Bigg Boss 18 promo, Karan Veer Mehra was assigned a playful task: choosing ingredients to make a taco, symbolizing his arch-rival Avinash Mishra. Karan, not missing a chance to provoke Avinash, picked ingredients like “bewakoof broccoli” and “kamzor kaddu,” which did not sit well with his fellow contestant.

This led to a war of words, with Karan taunting Avinash, daring him to face him “like a man” and making personal jabs. Avinash warned Karan not to involve his family in their disputes, further escalating the tension. The two were seen exchanging sharp insults while special guests Ankita Lokhande and Krushna Abhishek looked on.

Previous Clash: “Who Knows You?”

The tension between Karan and Avinash isn’t new. In a previous episode, Karan insulted Avinash by questioning his popularity, asking, “Jaanta kaun hai tere ko (Who knows you)?” The two had clashed over household duties, but their disagreements have only grown more personal with time.

‘Kasam Khuda Ki…’ : Salman Khan Drops Cryptic Remark On Bigg Boss 18 Amid Death Threats | Watch

October 20, 2024, 8:15 pm

Salman Khan made his return to Bigg Boss 18 following the death of his close friend, political leader Baba Siddique, and a new wave of death threats. Promos for the Weekend Ka Vaar episode revealed Salman admitting that he wasn’t mentally prepared to come back to the show. In a newly surfaced clip, Salman, looking exhausted, expressed his frustration, saying, “Yaar, kasam khuda ki, what all I am going through in my life and I have to handle this.” While he didn’t specify the issues, it appeared to hint at the death threats and his grief over Siddique’s passing.

Salman has been dealing with death threats for some time, with the first one coming from Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. After Siddique’s death, a member of Bishnoi’s gang claimed responsibility for the murder and issued a threat to Salman.

On Friday, the Mumbai Traffic Police received two new threatening messages via WhatsApp demanding Rs 5 crore from Salman Khan. The messages warned that if the amount wasn’t paid, Salman’s fate would be worse than that of NCP leader Baba Siddique. Authorities have filed a case at Worli Police Station, and an investigation is underway.

In response to these threats, Salman’s security has been further intensified. The actor already has Y+ Security, and now security on the Bigg Boss 18 set has been enhanced as well. According to India Today, the show will continue as planned, with Salman’s team collaborating closely with the production staff to ensure his safety. Over 60 security personnel have been assigned to the set during filming.

Strict measures have been enforced, including Aadhaar card verification for anyone entering the area. The Bigg Boss 18 crew has also been directed to stay on-site until filming is complete to maintain security.

Bigg Boss 18: Salman Khan Hints at Security Concerns After Baba Siddique’s Death

October 19, 2024, 5:57 pm

The upcoming ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode on ‘Bigg Boss 18’ promises intense moments as Salman Khan confronts contestants over their controversial remarks. Despite the current threats to his life, Salman continued to film the episode, showcasing his professionalism and dedication.

In a recent promo, Salman interacted with Shilpa Shirodkar regarding the ration issue. He said, “I hate tears, Shilpa. Aapki bacchi jab khane par gussa utarti thi toh aap kya bolte the?” (When your daughter expressed her anger towards food, what would you tell her?) Shilpa responded, stating, “Khane pe gussa nahi tha; I was angry over the attitude.” Salman advised, “You should then remove your anger on the attitude. You shouldn’t have any relation with the feelings then.” Shilpa broke down in tears upon hearing this. Salman then expressed, “My today’s feelings are mujhe yahan pe aana hi nahi tha. Ek aadmi ko jo karna padta hai woh karna padta hai,” hinting at the recent demise of Baba Siddique and the ongoing security threats he faces.

Salman Khan began filming for ‘Bigg Boss 18’ with increased security due to threats linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. On Thursday night, he returned to the set with a substantial security team for his safety. This heightened protection was prompted by a threatening message allegedly sent by a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to Mumbai Traffic Police. The message demanded a ransom of Rs 5 crore from Salman Khan, warning of severe consequences if unpaid. It referenced the assassination of former Maharashtra Minister Baba Siddique, which took place the day after Salman recorded an episode of ‘Bigg Boss’. Consequently, authorities upgraded Khan’s security to Y-plus, ensuring an armed police escort at all times.

Despite these threats, the production of ‘Bigg Boss 18’ continues, with two ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episodes scheduled to air this weekend. Producers are coordinating closely with Salman’s security team to guarantee all necessary precautions are in place.

The latest episode of Bigg Boss 18 brought an unexpected twist as Vivian Dsena, who has been at odds with Chahat Pandey since the season began, won hearts by standing up for her in a heated altercation over food.

The Ration Drama Unfolds

The drama began when recently evicted contestant Avinash Mishra returned to the house, tasked with distributing ration. Avinash denied food to housemates who went against him and demanded an apology in exchange. This led the housemates to collectively decide to stop cooking until everyone received their share of the ration.

Chahat Faces Opposition from Housemates

Despite the standoff, Chahat Pandey managed to get a portion of the ration from Avinash and attempted to make food for herself. However, her housemates protested her actions. Chum Darang snatched the utensils from her, Rajat Dalal blocked the stove, and Sara Afreen even grabbed her hands, preventing her from cooking. Overwhelmed, Chahat broke down in tears, pleading for the housemates to let her cook.

Vivian Comes to Chahat’s Defense

People said that Vivian is targetting chahat, but when actually all housemates were targeting her he took a stand ?

Undeterred, Vivian accepted the challenge, solidifying his stance and gaining admiration from viewers.

Salman Khan Continues Bigg Boss 18 Shoot Despite Lawrence Bishnoi’s Threats: 60 Guards On Duty, No One Allowed To Leave

October 18, 2024, 7:26 pm

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has resumed filming for the latest season of *Bigg Boss* amid heightened security due to threats against his life. Arriving on set late Thursday night, Khan was accompanied by an extensive security detail necessitated by recent events.

Sources reveal that he is staying in a secure chalet within the production compound, where filming for Bigg Boss 18 will continue as planned. The crew is required to remain on-site until filming concludes to ensure everyone’s safety amidst the heightened security measures. Over 60 guards are stationed to monitor the area, and access to the compound is strictly controlled, requiring Aadhar card verification for all entrants.

These security arrangements reflect the seriousness of the situation, particularly after a member of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly sent a threatening message to the Mumbai Traffic Police, demanding a ransom of ₹5 crore from Khan. The message warned of dire consequences if the ransom was not paid, alluding to the recent assassination of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique, who was killed just a day after Khan filmed an episode of Bigg Boss, increasing fears for the actor’s safety.

In response to these threats, Khan’s protection level has been elevated to Y-plus, which includes a dedicated police escort and a trained constable armed with firearms. This heightened security indicates the significant risks facing Khan and the entertainment industry as a whole. As one of Bollywood’s most prominent figures, his visibility makes him a target for criminal elements looking to exert influence or settle scores.

Despite these tensions, the production team is determined to proceed with filming for two Weekend Ka Vaar episodes scheduled for this weekend. Producers and channel executives are collaborating closely with Salman’s security team to ensure all necessary precautions are in place, allowing the show to continue without incident. The atmosphere on set is expected to be tense, as both crew members and fans are acutely aware of the external threats looming over the production.

Salman Khan’s ability to confront danger is a testament to his enduring career in the Indian film industry, where he has faced numerous challenges. His resilience has earned him a massive fan base, and many supporters are rallying behind him during this difficult time. The public’s fascination with the unfolding drama adds another layer of complexity, as the safety of the star and the integrity of the show become paramount.

While the entertainment industry often deals with the pressures of celebrity culture, the current situation surrounding Salman Khan and *Bigg Boss* sheds light on the darker aspects of fame. The intersection of celebrity and crime highlights a significant issue in society, emphasizing the need for increased attention to the safety of public figures. As filming continues, there is hope that the implemented security measures will protect everyone involved, allowing the show to proceed without further incidents.

However, his recent exit from the Bigg Boss house has left fans surprised.

He might join the show later.”

Reports indicate that Sadavarte had filed an appeal regarding Maratha Reservation in the Bombay High Court. However, he was absent during the court hearing, prompting other lawyers to inform the judge that he was in the Bigg Boss 18 house. The court expressed disappointment over his absence, especially since he had previously requested an earlier hearing date. As a result, the hearing has been adjourned until November 19, 2024.

Return Expected: Sadavarte’s Future in the Show

Despite his current absence, it has been confirmed that Gunaratna Sadavarte is expected to make a re-entry into the Bigg Boss 18 house in the near future.

Contentious Journey in Bigg Boss 18

During his time on Bigg Boss 18, Sadavarte had several intense arguments with fellow contestants, including Arfeen Khan, Karan Veer Mehra, and Avinash Mishra. He also took a stand for the release of Tajinder Singh Bagga and Hema Sharma from jail, showcasing his assertive personality throughout the competition.

Bigg Boss 18: Aniruddhacharya Issues Apology For Gifting Bhagavad Gita To Salman Khan

October 10, 2024, 7:22 pm

Bigg Boss 18 recently launched with great excitement as host Salman Khan kicked off the show. The grand premiere, which aired on October 6, 2024, introduced the 18 contestants entering the house. Spiritual guru Aniruddhacharya added to the event’s vibrancy by appearing in the opening episode to bless the contestants and gifting Salman Khan a copy of the Bhagavad Gita.

However, this gesture did not resonate well with some individuals, including religious leaders. Following the backlash, Aniruddhacharya issued a video apology, addressing his critics regarding his participation in the show.

In the video, Aniruddhacharya expressed regret to his fellow religious leaders for any hurt feelings caused by his appearance. He stated, “If my going to that Bigg Boss has hurt the heart of any Sanatani, then this son, your brother, your servant wishes forgiveness from all the Sanatanis. You will definitely forgive me because my aim is to propagate Sanatan.”

He further clarified, “And I will tell you once again, I will apologize to you millions of times. But I will say one thing again, I had said that I would not go to Bigg Boss, I did not go to Bigg Boss. I was not a part of those 18 contestants who went inside Bigg Boss. I went only as a guest to give blessings.”

He continued, “As a guest, I told everyone about the Bhagavad Gita, said good things, and everyone there said ‘Radhe-Radhe.’ If my gifting Bhagavad Gita has hurt anyone, I apologize,” he concluded.

A post shared by Dr. Aniruddhacharya Ji (@aniruddhacharyajimaharaj)

During a podcast, when asked about entering the Bigg Boss 18 house, he responded, “We move from being humans to becoming deities, we do not become dogs.” He elaborated, “There are fighting, barking dogs there. What will we do there? Why should we lower the head of our Sanatan by going there? Even if someone gives us not crores but billions of rupees, we will not go. We are not like Bollywood which starts promoting gutkha for crores of rupees. They gave an offer of several crores. If I sit among the immoral, what will people say about me?”

Despite his negative remarks about the show, Aniruddhacharya still made an appearance as a guest at the grand premiere, which disappointed many and led to criticism on social media.

Bigg Boss 18: Nia Sharma has been rumored to be the first confirmed contestant for the Salman Khan-hosted reality show.

Nia expressed her apologies to her fans for not participating and admitted to enjoying the buzz surrounding the rumors. She shared a heartfelt message with her supporters on Instagram regarding her involvement in the show.

In her message, Nia Sharma stated, “To the fans and well-wishers I have disappointed, sorry. Truly been overwhelmed by the tremendous support, love, and crazy hype! Almost made me want to go inside the house for once, made me realize what I’ve earned in the last 14 years. Can’t say I didn’t enjoy the hype and attention but please don’t blame me. It wasn’t me.”

Nia Sharma apologizes to fans in Instagram Post

The theme for this season is ‘Time Ka Tandav,’ which will divide the house into three sections. Contestants will be monitored by 107 cameras, the highest number ever for the show. Several notable names from the television industry are rumored to be joining, including Shilpa Shirodkar, Vivian Dsena, Chahat Pandey, Karan Veer Mehra, Dheeraj Dhoopar, and Shoaib Ibrahim.

How Salman Khan Became TV’s Top-Paid Star: A Breakdown Of His Bigg Boss 18 Earnings

October 6, 2024, 1:48 pm

Not long ago, a ₹100 crore box office collection was considered a strong indicator of a film’s success. As inflation increased, this figure soon became the standard budget for major Indian films, with top actors reportedly charging similar fees for their projects. Today, the landscape has shifted, and even television can match that income, often in just over a month. Reports suggest that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will earn this much in just six weeks by hosting the new season of Bigg Boss.

Bigg Boss 18 Launches with High Expectations

Bigg Boss 18 premieres on Colors TV on Sunday, October 6. While the first glimpses of the Bigg Boss house have been revealed, details about the contestants remain a closely guarded secret. Speculations abound, but, as in previous years, the official announcements will be made live on TV. Another aspect shrouded in secrecy is Salman’s remuneration for this season. A recent report by Her Zindagi indicated that Salman is charging ₹60 crore per month to host Bigg Boss this season.

Sources close to the production confirm that the superstar has indeed increased his fees from last season, which comprises both per-episode payments and a lump sum contract amount. This arrangement brings his total earnings close to the ₹60 crore per month reported. If the season lasts for 15 weeks, similar to the previous one, he stands to earn nearly ₹250 crore—an astonishing sum.

The Making of a Television Superstar

Salman Khan has been the face of Bigg Boss for over 15 years, making it difficult to envision anyone else as the host. The show initially featured Arshad Warsi and Amitabh Bachchan before Salman took over. Whenever he has stepped away from hosting—whether due to legal matters or film commitments—the show’s ratings tend to drop.

The audience clearly communicates that Salman is the show’s main draw. While the concept, drama, and celebrity contestants attract viewers, Salman ties everything together like a skilled sutradhar. Consequently, Bigg Boss producers are willing to pay him increasing fees each year.

His enduring film stardom further enhances his negotiating power. Trade insiders note that when he began hosting Bigg Boss 15 years ago, he earned between ₹5 and ₹10 crore per film. Today, he commands up to ₹150 crore per movie. Considering that a typical Bigg Boss season occupies about a third of his calendar year, his compensation expectations align accordingly.

Salman now reigns as the top star on television, with no one coming close to his earnings. Currently, Rupali Ganguly, the highest-paid actor on TV, reportedly receives ₹3 lakh per episode for Anupamaa. For a comparable month-long Bigg Boss season, her earnings would be around ₹2 crore.

Kapil Sharma reportedly made approximately ₹60 crore for the first season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, while Amitabh Bachchan also shares the upper echelon of earnings through his appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati. However, Bachchan records five episodes weekly, whereas Salman typically does two, which justifies his higher income.

A Future with Bigg Boss

Salman Khan shows no signs of stepping away from Bigg Boss. In a recent promo, he humorously referenced a ‘future self’ suggesting he would still be shooting for Bigg Boss 38. Given the star’s immense popularity and the show’s consistently strong TRPs, such a scenario seems plausible. It begs the question: how much could the superstar be earning by then?

Salman Khan’s Confronts His Past Self On Bigg Boss 18, What Happened Next…

October 5, 2024, 4:30 pm

In anticipation of the Bigg Boss 18 premiere, ColorsTV shared a new promo on Saturday featuring host Salman Khan. In the Instagram video, Salman stood in front of two screens displaying his AI-generated younger and older selves.

Salman Confronts His Past and Future Selves

When the AI-generated young Salman asked the host where he was, Salman replied, “Confession room.” The AI then inquired, “Ab kaunsa confession de raha hai? Kya lafda kiya tune?” (What confession are you giving? What mess have you created now?). A visibly irritated Salman responded, “Ruk yaar. Na maine kuch kiya hai, na tune kuch kiya tha” (Wait. Neither did I do anything now, nor did you do anything earlier). He expressed his frustration, saying he didn’t expect to feel so annoyed seeing his past self.

Next, the AI-generated old Salman asked, “Should I explain with love or a slap?” An exasperated Salman stared at the screen with wide eyes. As the older Salman indicated he was leaving, the host asked where he was headed. The old Salman replied that he was preparing for Bigg Boss 38. Curious, the current host inquired, “Is Bigg Boss still there in that season?” receiving a curt response from his older self.

Promo Details

The old Salman also reminded the host of someone’s birthday, which made him feel sad. The video concluded with the caption, “Salman Khan bhi nahi bache Bigg Boss ke chakravyuh se, toh kya hone waala hai contestants ka haal” (Salman Khan was also not spared from the trap of Bigg Boss, so what will be the condition of contestants?). The promo announced, “Dekhiye #BiggBoss18, Grand Premiere kal raat 9 baje 9 pm, sirf (only on) #Colors aur @officialjiocinema par.”

Fans React

Fans reacted positively to the post, with one commenting, “Ab kya lafda kiya tune was personal” (What did you do now was personal). Another noted, “Mr handsome forever, looking so handsome in the future, this is an amazing video.” One user said, “This was so cute @beingsalmankhan!” while another remarked, “This is funny and weird.”

Bigg Boss 18 House Tour: Explore the Intriguing Design of Bigg Boss 18!

October 5, 2024, 12:11 pm

Get ready for a home tour like no other as Bigg Boss 18 prepares to launch on October 6. The theme, “time ka taandav,” will delve into the fascinating concepts of past, present, and future, intricately woven into the design of the Bigg Boss house. Early glimpses of the set have circulated on social media, showcasing a design inspired by the grandeur of ancient caves and forts, featuring intricate motifs, sculptures, and a warm, earthy color palette. Contestants will encounter secret entrances, hidden doors, and cleverly positioned cameras throughout the house. The garden area stands out with its grand pillars and a pathway leading to the entrance.

A unique bathroom reminiscent of a Turkish hammam awaits the contestants, complete with a stunning Trojan horse that offers a vantage point over the house. The living room combines urban sophistication with earthy charm, highlighted by a large dining table at its center. The kitchen evokes a cave-like atmosphere, while the bedroom captures the essence of a regal fort, complemented by an intriguing jail area that adds a twist to the layout.

The house’s design took 45 days to complete, involving nearly 200 workers. Art director Omung Kumar shared insights with the Indian Express about the creative decision to embrace an Indian theme, noting, “This year, we wanted to highlight Indian aesthetics since it hasn’t been done in a while. One of the creative team’s specifications was to incorporate different levels in the house. India is incredibly beautiful, and we wanted to showcase that. The entrance pays homage to the pre-historic era, and this year’s design focuses on the claustrophobia of a cave. The colors are muted, but they will become more impactful over time. There are hidden entrances and secret doors, making the house initially confusing for the contestants.”

The show will air on Colors TV on October 6 and will also be live-streamed on Jio Cinema.
