The upcoming Friday Weekend Ka Vaar episode on Bigg Boss 18 will feature producer Ekta Kapoor as host. Ekta, known for her straightforward and no-nonsense approach, brings her characteristic bluntness to Bigg Boss as she addresses contestants' recent actions on the show. In a promo shared by the makers, Ekta is seen giving a reality check to Vivian Dsena. The video begins with Ekta schooling Vivian. She says, “Vivian mujhe itna toh haq hai aapko launch karne ke baad, kuch sawaal main khud kar sakun. Agar aapne 8-10 kaam kiya toh kya?? Toh kya? Ghar ke sare log aapko pedestal par chadha de? [After launching you, I have the right to ask you some questions. So what if you've done 8-10 projects? Does that mean everyone in the house should place you on a pedestal?]” Vivian, in his defence, says, "Aisa maine kabhi nahi kaha. [I never said that]."
To this, Ekta Kapoor replies, "Toh ye kaam ka ghamand aap kisko dikha rahe hain? Vivian Ghar ke conversation se door bhagta hai aur agar aisa he karna tha toh 8 saal baad aap kyun aaye Bigg Boss par?" [So, who are you showing this arrogance about your work to? Vivian, you avoid conversations in the house, and if this is how you planned to be, then why did you come to Bigg Boss after eight years?]
Last week, Bigg Boss 18 introduced two wild card contestants — Kashish Kapoor and Digvijay Singh. The duo were previously part of the reality show Splitsvilla X5. In a promo dropped by the makers, Salman Khan introduced them and said, “Mere paas iss season ke wildcard dhamake hai. (This season's wild card surprises are with me). Salman asked Kashish and Digvijay whether they knew each other, igniting a war of words between the two contestants.
Hosted by Salman Khan, Bigg Boss 18 kicked off on October 6. The show airs on Colors TV and can also be streamed on JioCinema.
