Bigg Boss 18 is making headlines due to its exciting lineup of contestants, which includes Vivian Dsena, Chahatt Pandey, Avinash Mishra and Rajat Dalal. Among them, Karan Veer Mehra stands out for his smart strategy and strong personality. Recently, Sana Makbul, who had won Bigg Boss OTT season 3, shared that she met Karan before his entry in the show and offered him some advice. She encouraged him to be himself and avoid being “pretentious.” Sana also mentioned that Karan faced challenges in the house because of his strong opinions. The actress shared her own experience, as she felt cornered at times but came out stronger in the competition.
Speaking with Telly Talk India, the actress said, “I am not able to follow Bigg Boss 18 but I remember Karan had told me back in August that he might do the show. We were shooting together that time. He asked me about my journey and I told him to just be himself. You can’t be pretentious. You should just enjoy. I know how it feels when you are cornered and I told Karan also that ‘You do you.’ They used to corner me every week and lecture me. It hurt my heart. I used to sulk alone. I don’t like to express.”
Many people speculated that Sana Makbul joined Bigg Boss to boost her career. In response, she agreed and feels grateful for the opportunity. Sana shared that she has watched some episodes of Bigg Boss 18 and other than Karan Veer Mehra, she enjoys watching Shrutika Arjun’s fun personality.
In the same interview, Afsana Khan, who participated in Bigg Boss 15, shared her thoughts on the challenges of the show. She explained that being in front of Salman Khan during the weekend episodes can be very confusing for contestants. When someone is alone on the show, it can be tough to avoid making mistakes. The singer mentioned that when someone gets insulted, they often hesitate to respond and think carefully before speaking. Afsana further spoke about the importance of being mentally strong and suggested that not everyone, especially simple people like her, can handle the pressure of the game.
In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 18, Karan Veer Mehra stood against Vivian Dsena for the title of the next Time God. Despite his efforts, Karan did not win the challenge, as Shilpa Shirodkar decided that Vivian would be the best choice to lead the house.
