Time God Vivian Dsena received a special power in the latest episode of the Salman Khan-hosted reality show Bigg Boss 18 on Tuesday. Bigg Boss gave him the power to nominate eight housemates for eviction this week.
In a calculated move, Vivian spared his close allies — Eisha Singh, Avinash Mishra, Alice Kaushik — and Shilpa Shirodkar (who had made him the Time God), from the chopping block. Wildcard entrants Digvijay Singh Rathee and Kashish Kapoor were also exempt from the nomination, as this is their debut week in the Bigg Boss house.
Vivian named Chaahat Pandey, Sara Arfeen Khan, Arfeen Khan, Tajinder Bagga, Chum Darang, Rajat Dalal, Shrutika Arjun, and Karan Veer Mehra for eviction. However, Bigg Boss threw in an intriguing twist: some of these nominees could be saved if four or more housemates voted in their favour.
As a result of this, Rajat, Shrutika, Chum and Karan were saved from getting nominated. So, the housemates up for potential elimination this week are Chaahat, Sara, Arfeen, and Tajinder.
Soon after the task, Avinash, Eisha, and Alice began speculating how Sara’s behaviour might change now that she’s on the nominated list. Sara, on the other hand, mocked the trio’s close friendship. In a dismissive tone, she even referred to their bond as a “pati, patni aur woh”.
Sara also stirred further controversy during a discussion with Shilpa and her husband Arfeen. She brought up Vivian’s former relationship with Vahbiz Dorabjee, mentioning that Vahbiz had warned her about Vivian’s temperament. Shilpa, however, was quick to caution Sara to avoid such topics, reminding her that they’re prohibited from discussing external issues in the house. She also expressed her own disinterest in delving into such personal matters.
Tensions also escalated between Vivian and Rajat, who took a swipe at Vivian’s ‘thick’ hair, joking that it blocked opinions from entering his brain. Vivian dismissed Rajat’s comments as “low standard”.
But things are set to get even more intense soon. In a teaser for the upcoming episode posted by the makers on social media, tensions seem to reach a boiling point, resulting in a physical confrontation between Avinash and Rajat. Moreover, Vivian’s tenure as Time God is nearing its end as Bigg Boss announces a new task to select the next leader of the house.
