Television actor Vivian Dsena received a reality check from his wife Nouran Aly, an Egyptian journalist, on the latest episode of Bigg Boss 18. Nouran made a surprise appearance on Sunday’s episode of the Salman Khan-hosted reality show and questioned Vivian’s gameplay, urging him to reflect on his strategy.

Nouran informed Vivian that she struggled to see his true personality in the house. She accused him of playing it safe, avoiding confrontations even when he was hurt, and failing to stand up for himself. “The biggest mistake I have made is not focusing on myself,” Vivian admitted during their conversation.

Nouran also questioned Vivian’s hesitation to confront fellow contestants Shilpa Shirodkar and Karan Veer Mehra, challenging him to take a more assertive approach in the game.

While Vivian Dsena has been part of a close alliance with Avinash Mishra and Eisha Singh, the bond appears to be fracturing under the pressures of the game. In a recent nomination task, Avinash and Eisha’s strategy to nominate Vivian sparked controversy, both inside and outside the house.

In a promo dropped by the makers on social media, Vivian confronts his friends over their strategy in the upcoming episode. He asks Avinash why he didn’t nominate Shilpa. He also questions Eisha why she froze with his photo frame in hand instead of sprinting towards Avinash in the nomination task last week. He demands clarity from his friends in the video.

The 20-second promo also shows Vivian ruminating about how the housemates stabbed him in the back.

In another major development, politician Tajinder Bagga was evicted from Bigg Boss 18 this week after receiving the least number of votes. His exit left many contestants emotional, particularly Shrutika Arjun, who tried to remain composed despite being visibly upset.
