Bigg Boss 18 updates have been keeping viewers hooked to their screens. But it was the latest episode that caught the attention of many. Reason? Shrutika Arjun was eliminated from the reality show almost a week before the grand finale.
On the day of the elimination, Shrutika Arjun, Rajat Dalal and Chahat Pandey took part in a task that would determine the eviction, reported Hindustan Times. The contestants spoke about their strengths in the first round. The trio took turns to explain why they deserved to stay in the BB house.
In the following round, Shrutika Arjun, Chahat Pandey and Rajat Dalal discussed each other's weaknesses. After the task was over, Bigg Boss gave them two options: eviction could be decided either by the show's vote count or by the judgment given by the live audience. All of them agreed to go by the live audience's votes.
The audience voted against Shrutika Arjun, leading to her elimination. Soon after the announcement, Shrutika's friend and fellow Bigg Boss contestant Chum Darang, broke down in tears.
Post her eviction, Shrutika Arjun, in an interview with India Forums, reflected on her journey in Bigg Boss and shed light on the friendships forged and challenges faced.
Shrutika Arjun said, “The house made me stronger. I have never travelled alone in my life. I have never even stayed alone for 24 hours without family or Arjun. And here it was three months, and that too without a phone, extreme.”
She added, “I broke down twice very badly, and it hit me a lot as everything piled up — homesickness. I look very happy now. I was like, 'I have come out just a week before the finale. I put in hard work till this one week of the finale, and now I'm out. I've no regrets, I am happy."
Bigg Boss 18, hosted by Salman Khan will draw its curtains with the finale episode on January 19. Contestants who are eying to lift the trophy now are: Chum Darang, Karan Veer Mehra, Vivian Dsena, Rajat Dalal, Avinash Mishra, Eisha Singh and Shilpa Shirodkar.
