In a surprising turn of events on Bigg Boss 18, Arfeen Khan, one of the season's strongest contestants, was recently evicted. The mind coach had entered the reality show alongside his wife, actress Sara Arfeen Khan. After his exit, Sara was visibly emotional and appeared inconsolable. In a touching moment, YouTuber Rajat Dalal, often known for his argumentative nature and strong stances, showed a softer side as he tried to comfort Sara. This rare display of empathy from Rajat added an unexpected emotional layer to the episode.
Rajat Dalal told Sara Arfeen Khan, “Meri naa Sara ji aadat zada na bolne ki hai nahi hai aise me. Aap bas dukhi mat ho mere. Mere ko bahut aise mein bebas mehsus hota hai ki. Mere ko ni aati yeh cheeze ki chup kaise krau. Meri waali ko to kra leta hu. Mere ko vese ni pta kaise chup kraate hai. Agar rote rahoge to mera bhi thoda naa jee khraab sa rahega. [I am not really used to talking a lot like this, Sara. Just don't be sad, please. I feel so helpless in moments like these because I don't know how to comfort you. I can manage to calm my girlfriend, but I do not really know how to console someone else. If you keep crying, I will start feeling low.]
Upon hearing this, Sara Arfeen Khan extended her hand toward Rajat Dalal. Looking a bit puzzled, Rajat asked, "Kya karu? [What should I do?]" Sara simply replied, "Haath do. [Give me your hand.]" She held his hand for a brief moment and said, "Thank you."
A fan page shared the video of this moment on Instagram. The side note read, “A side of Rajat Dalal we've never seen before, revealed in today's episode.”
During a segment hosted by Rohit Shetty, the filmmaker announced Arfeen Khan's eviction. He explained that Arfeen received the fewest votes from the audience among the nominated contestants, leading to his departure from the show. Click here to read the full story.
