Rumors swirl around Eisha Singh and Shalin Bhanot as Bigg Boss 18's latest episodes make headlines. During the Weekend Ka Vaar segment hosted by Salman Khan, tensions and speculations mounted after Khan teasingly hinted at Singh's potential romantic ties to Bhanot. Salman asked Singh pointedly about her last phone call before entering the Bigg Boss house, prompting visible embarrassment from Singh and renewed interest from fans.
Despite the obvious electric chemistry between the two, Eisha maintained her stance, firmly stating, "Shalin is only my best friend. We have worked together, so of course we share a very close bond, but there's nothing more to it." Her insistence on their platonic relationship hasn't stopped viewers from speculating about the depth of their connection, especially after Karan Veer Mehra, another contestant, added fuel to the fire.
Mehra brought up instances from their time on Khatron Ke Khiladi, recalling how Shalin frequently took video calls with someone he referred to as Eisha, leading him to question if she was managing Shalin during his stint on the show. Eisha chewed through the allegations, claiming, "Shalin and I are very good friends but he has other people in his life with similar names." This only seemed to deepen the curiosity and skepticism among fans who were watching closely.
The apparent tension extended beyond Eisha's relationship claims as fans of fellow contestant Avinash Mishra expressed their frustration online. Avinash, who has been open about his feelings for Eisha, accused her of stringing him along. The backlash against Eisha intensified as many believed her denials appeared insincere, gesturing to her hesitant smiles and body language during interviews.
Complicities emerged during Salman Khan's playful interactions with Eisha, where he humorously remarked to the audience, "Boyfriend nahi hoga, very close friend hoga, shayad main unko jaanta honga, nature ke bahut he calm honge, Shalin honge." (He won’t be just a boyfriend, but he must be someone very close; maybe I know him, he must have really calm nature, it could be Shalin.) This comment led to Eisha and other housemates bursting out laughing, yet left many wondering about the validity of her relationship with Bhanot.
After the episode aired, Avinash's supporters took to social media, accusing Eisha of misleading them and using Avinash's affections as part of the show’s strategy to drum up excitement and drama. Some fans speculated if her comments about having someone outside the house (captured in viral clips) were merely for the cameras, raising questions about authenticity and feelings among contestants.
While the show has sought to maintain its usual flair for drama, viewers have noted the perhaps manufactured nature of these dynamics. With competing narratives, including Eisha's friendship with Shalin and her ambiguous feelings for Avinash, it has become challenging for the audience to distinguish between reality and performance.
The spotlight is certainly on Shalin, who is yet to publicly respond to the swirling rumors about his relationship with Eisha. Speculation suggests he might weigh his words carefully to avoid igniting any additional drama, especially as voters might influence his standing in the competition.
This reality TV spectacle continues to draw viewers, partially due to the twin narratives of friendship versus romance. Eisha’s defiant assertions and shy demeanor paint one image, but the buzz around how contestants manage their relationships and the impact of social media on these connections adds layers to the fascination. The audience remains eager to unravel the threads of these high stakes relationships as the season progresses.
Fans can anticipate more revelations, as the drama surrounding Eisha and Shalin will likely continue to play out on Bigg Boss 18. The intertwined relationships and rumors seem destined to spiral, keeping the viewers glued to their seats week after week.
