Bigg Boss 18 is all the rage right now, with each episode getting more intense with confrontations, broken friendships and all the more drama. As the controversial reality show continues to deliver unexpected twists and fiery clashes, the latest episode surely kept viewers hooked as housemates faced a tense nomination process, stirring emotions and showcasing their competitive sides. Adding to the suspense, Shilpa Shirodkar shocked everyone by nominating Karan Veer Mehra for eviction.
The latest BB 18 episode brought an unexpected twist with a unique nomination task where contestants had to feed Rajat Dalal, the current ‘Time God’, to earn the power to nominate others. The drama escalated when actress, Shilpa Shirodkar got the chance to nominate five housemates for eviction. After nominating Digvijay Singh, Chaahat Pandey, Kashish Kapoor, and Sara Arfeen Khan, Shilpa took Karan Veer Mehra’s name for her fifth nomination, leaving everyone, including Karan, visibly stunned.
Shilpa’s nomination of Karan was an unexpected turn for all housemates, considering the close bond that they shared on the show. This act was a clear indication that she wanted to save Vivian Dsena from getting evicted.
Karan Veer Mehra, who’s generally close to Shilpa, expressed his hurt when it was his chance to nominate housemates. The Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 winner confronted Shilpa, hinting that she again chose Vivian over him, repeating a past event when she did the same. He was heard saying:
“Fir ek bete ko bachane ke liye dusre ki bali chadha di… Fir wahi kiya na aapne jo bole jaa raha hun starting se. Aur bura laga tha mujhe jab Time God nahi bana tha main aur har baar bura lag raha hai iss cheez pe.”
Later, housemates including Chum Darang and Shrutika Arjun came forward in support of Karan and expressed that Shilpa’s decision was not right. Shrutika confronted Shilpa that Karan’s often the ‘soft target’, even though she spends more time with him. She said:

“Aap more time spend karte ho Karan ke taraf and I feel also, kahin par bhi aap usko zyada chahte ho Vivian se. Par jab dikhane ka action aata hai tab aap Vivian ko zyada dikhate ho. Why is Karan a soft target? Hum kisi ko bhi choose kar sakte the. That time, I was like ‘Kyu?’”
Shrutika, Chum, and Karanveer have shared a good bond since the start of the show. However, tensions arose last week when Shrutika expressed her disappointment with Chum and Karanveer for not standing up for her while Shilpa Shirodkar was mocking her. She was heard saying:
“Jab voh taana maarti hai tu sunta hai na, tu support nahi karta na. Main pagal hu kya harr baar aake khud insult hoke chale jau… Mere do dost, jab main insult hoti hu toh wahan pe dekhte hai mazaak.”
Shilpa Shirodkar was a well-known face in the '90s with memorable roles in films like Khuda Gawah, Gopi Kishan, and Gaja Gamini. Before joining Bigg Boss 18, she was last seen in the popular TV show, Ek Mutthi Aasmaan. Karan Veer Mehra has appeared in numerous TV shows, gaining a strong fan following after his stint on Khatron Ke Khiladi 14 and now on Bigg Boss 18. Meanwhile, Shrutika Arjun, a Tamil actor, has quickly become a fan favourite since joining the show.
