Bigg Boss 18 second runner-up Rajat Dalal has sparked controversy with his recent appearance on Elvish Yadav’s podcast, where he made bold claims about Karan Veer Mehra’s win, co-contestants Eisha Singh, Vivian Dsena, and more. Clips from the podcast have gone viral, igniting heated discussions online.
During the chat, Elvish questioned how Karan Veer Mehra won the show despite having no apparent strong backing. In response, Rajat remarked, “Karan Veer ko software support kar raha tha” (implying that technical manipulation influenced the outcome). This statement has fueled speculation about the fairness of the show’s results.
Further into the podcast, Rajat made a controversial remark about Eisha Singh when shown her picture, saying, “Bhai, log aise ladkiyon se shaadi isliye karte hain, taa ki maid ki zaroorat na padhe. Bartan badhiya maaj degi na” (suggesting that women like her are only good for household chores). This sexist comment has drawn severe backlash on social media.
Rajat also took a dig at Bigg Boss 18 finalist Vivian Dsena, alleging that he is receiving insignificant roles in Hollywood, joking, “Driver ka, boy ka… Mujhe bohot log puchh rahe hain, bhai Vivian ji dikh nahi rahe hain… wo thoda Avinash ke zip kholke de…” (mocking his career choices). These comments have further intensified the backlash.
The Bigg Boss 18 finale, held on January 19, saw Karan Veer Mehra win, with Vivian Dsena and Rajat Dalal as the runners-up. Many, including contestants like Arfeen Khan, have openly criticized the outcome. Arfeen wrote on X, condemning Karan’s win and calling Rajat or Avinash more deserving.
With Rajat’s statements now trending, the Bigg Boss 18 controversy continues to stir reactions among fans and celebrities alike.
