Two wildcard contestants, Yamini Malhotra and Edin Rose, were eliminated from Bigg Boss 18 in a surprise double eviction on Sunday.

Yamini and Edin, who entered the show as wildcard contestants just weeks ago, had quickly built strong connections within the house. They were particularly close to Sara Arfeen Khan, Rajat Dalal, and Kashish Kapoor. Edin and Kashish shared a close friendship and the latter broke down after the announcement. She branded the other housemates ‘snakes’ in her outburst.

Both Yamini and Edin expressed their gratitude to Bigg Boss before leaving. They also took a moment to address their fellow contestants. In a heartwarming gesture, Karan Veer, who had carried Edin on his back for four hours during a previous task, once again lifted her on his back to escort her to the exit gate. Following suit, Avinash carried Yamini in his arms to bid her an emotional farewell.

The Weekend Ka Vaar episode brought some lighter moments to an otherwise intense week. Shalini Passi joined host Salman Khan on stage, where she shared specially baked cakes with her and recounted her experiences in the house. When Salman teased her about coping with Karan Veer Mehra’s loud snoring, Shalini quipped that it didn’t bother her as Karan Veer is “a good person and about her son’s age”. Salman humorously corrected her, revealing that Karan Veer is, in fact, 46 years old.

The cast of Baby John — Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi — also visited the Bigg Boss house to promote their upcoming film. Varun sought parenting advice from Vivian, while the actresses challenged Avinash and Karan to a dance face-off. Varun also announced that the first look of Salman Khan’s 2025 release Sikandar will be dropped on the latter’s birthday on December 27.
