Host Salman Khan had to take matters in his own hands as the first Weekend Ka Vaar of Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 reached a tipping point with heated confrontations, allegations of rumour-mongering and bias, and the eviction of a contestant. Here are the top seven moments from the episodes that streamed on the JioCinema app on Saturday and Sunday.
Eviction of Palak Purswani
Palak Purswani broke down in tears as she became only the second contestant to be eliminated from Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 following Puneet Kumar’s eviction last week. She had entered the house with Akanksha Puri a day after the other contestants. Palak’s brief stay inside the Bigg Boss house was full of drama — she often clashed with her ex-boyfriend Avinash Sachdev and managed to rekindle her friendship with Jiya Shankar.
Maniesh Paul in the house
TV presenter-turned-actor Maniesh Paul entered the Bigg Boss house to promote his web series Rafuchakkar. He asked the contestants to assign film titles to each other, giving them ample opportunities to make fun of themselves. Falaq gave Cyrus Broacha the title “Kaamchori Mera Naam” for his laziness, while Jad Hadid gave the title “I, Me, Myself” to Jiya, suggesting that she always seeks attention. Aaliya Siddiqui said Bebika Dhurve deserved the title “Nautanki Mera Naam”. Manisha Rani came up with the title “Mai Jhooti Mai Makkaar” for Akanksha. Abhishek Malhan couldn’t resist terming both Pooja Bhatt and Cyrus as “Nakli Rani Sasta Raja” for their dominating attitude. Bebika’s favoured title for Abhishek was “Mujhe Gandh Pasand Hai” for the latter’s abusive nature.
Pooja Bhatt in the docks
Salman informed the housemates that there had been a perception of Pooja not treating everyone equally. He asked the participants for their opinion on the matter. Palak immediately raised her hand and claimed that Pooja held a preconceived notion about her. Manisha, however, was quick to defend Pooja, stating that she is genuinely good and kind-hearted.
Salman schools Akanksha for spreading rumours
Salman confronted Akanksha, accusing her of creating a false narrative in the house. He did not spare the participant for her antics and went on to lambast her for making claims about Bebika’s medical status without being a professional medical practitioner. He also schooled her for creating a confusion among housemates regarding her feelings for Jad.
Salman exposes the double standards of contestants
Salman also talked about inappropriate behaviour by several contestants during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode. He called out Aaliya for bringing up her personal life, emphasising the importance of maintaining a boundary between personal and professional matters inside the house. He also took Abhishek to task for engaging in a heated argument with Bebika. He also asked Palak why she never raised her voice about the unhygienic condition of the dressing room despite claiming that she loves to keep the house clean.
Bebika’s birthday celebrated with a twist
Salman decided to celebrate Bebika’s birthday a day in advance because she was nominated for eviction and it could’ve been her last day inside the Bigg Boss house. After Bebika cut the cake, he asked her to give one piece of cake to every contestant. However, she must also tell one bad habit of each housemate to their face while feeding them the cake.
Krushna Abhishek reveals secret room BB Verse
Comedian-actor Krushna Abhishek entered the Bigg Boss house on Sunday and unveiled a secret room named BB Verse. He participated in a fun task with Cyrus and Jad in this special room. While the Dubai-based model was asked to read comments from fans, Cyrus had the opportunity to enjoy his favourite food. However, if Jad made a mistake while reading, Cyrus would have to give up his meal. Krushna also revealed that the BB Verse house would be filled with unexpected twists and surprises every week.
