Latest updates suggest that there is going to be a panel discussion with a few celebs defending their favourite Bigg Boss 18 finalists and the media. Elvish Yadav will be seen supporting Rajat Dalal.

A report in DNA states that Elvish Yadav's 'arrogant' behaviour did not go down well with the media. A source reportedly stated that there was a heated debate during the panel discussion that had media and celeb supporters of the finalists. Elvish Yadav was reportedly asked to justify Rajat Dalal's winning (if he wins) given his controversial background. Rajat has had a few cases lodged against him, and Elvish was asked if Rajat would be a justified winner due to the 'criminal charges'. The Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner reportedly said that Rajat is much more than just allegations and accusations. But the conversation went out of control when journalists highlighted the topic of media facing the blame for 'spreading the narrative'. Reportedly, Elvish was asked about the trolling faced by journalists at the hands of finalists' fans, to which, Elvish commented saying "Yeh sab paid media hi toh hai."

This did not go down well with the journalists who got furious at Elvish Yadav. He commented that the journalists are only 'supporting' Karan Veer Mehra over all other finalists. His alleged 'arrogant' replies added to the fury of media. The report further has the source stating that the senior journalist mentioned to 'boycott' Elvish Yadav. Majority of the journalists did not ask questions to Elvish Yadav. Only in the end, a journalist asked Elvish as to why he blamed the media? He tried to clarify that he wasn't talking about the entire media community, says the report. Also Read - Bharti Singh, Elvish Yadav summoned by Delhi Police for Rs 500 crore online fraud

A headline on June 7, 2024 online edition of one of the most trusted news organisations of India read - 'Influencer arrested, released on bail for kidnap, assault of 18-yr-old in Ahmedabad.' Also Read - Bigg Boss 18: Rajat Dalal's supporter Elvish Yadav slammed by media for his 'arrogant' behaviour? Here's what we know

The influencer in question here is Rajat Dalal, one of the finalists of Bigg Boss 18. Also Read - Bigg Boss 18 grand finale: When, where to watch, prize money, how to vote and other details

Rajat Dalal was arrested on charges of kidnapping and assaulting the 18-year-old student over an Instagram post. Also Read - Bigg Boss 18: Rajat Dalal's net worth, education qualification, family members and more

According to complainant Dhyan Lodha, around one-and-a-half months before the news came out, the accused began visiting the gym where he frequented. On June 1, Lodha had posted a video on his Instagram account where he, in reference to Dalal, allegedly said, "Roz subah apna munh gym mein dikha kar mera din kharaab karta huya mighty Raju."

This angered Rajat Dalal, who phoned Lodha the next morning and came to his house. Rajat and his two friends then pushed him into an SUV that did not have any numberplates and took him to a cowshed in Chandkheda.

Rajat then allegedly put cowdung on Lodha's face and made him apologise for posting the purportedly defamatory video -- the same incident Karan Veer Mehra mentioned during one of their fights on Bigg Boss 18.

The three then took him to a flat where they allegedly forced Lodha to clean a toilet and beat him constantly. Rajat allegedly even urinated at the teenager. He was arrested and was later released on bail.

On August 30, 2024, Rajat Dalal was reported to have been involved in a road accident. Journalist Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj shared the video on X (formerly Twitter). A part of her caption read, "Habitual offender Rajat Dalal hits a biker while driving at a speed of 143 Kmph on a busy inner city highway."

The video, recorded by a passenger in the back seat, showed Rajat Dalal overspeeding at 140 km/h on a busy road, ignoring the pleas of his passengers who were urging him to slow down.

Dalal then hit the biker, and shrugged off the incident, saying, "Gir gaya, koi baat nahin. Roz ka yahi kaam hai ma'am."

After watching the chilling video, many demanded his arrest for the "hit-and-run case" and termination of his driving licence. Faridabad police, too, took cognisance of the video and investigated the matter -- but to no avail.

This man was later invited to be a contestant on the 18th season of Bigg Boss among the likes of TV and film celebrities - Karan Veer Mehra, Vivian Dsena, Chum Darang, Avinash Mishra, Eisha Singh, Shilpa Shirodkar and others.

Rajat went about with his violent streak inside the Bigg Boss house too. He would physically corner Vivian or Avinash in their fights, instigate them to get violent, and justify by saying 'main aisa hi hoon'.

Rationality compels me to believe there's a certain joy in glorifying stories that turn villains into heroes. And Bigg Boss does a pretty good job at that.

Earlier seasons have also famously transformed the public perception of men and women previously charged with violent activities. But this season has broken records in whitewashing the image of a person with criminal records -- crimes that have been proven on social media and at police stations.

And I don't say the makers of the show are solely responsible for it. The audience works hand-in-glove to set the narrative for such men outside of the show.

Rajat has been awarded monikers like 'softie', 'pookie' and 'dil ka banda' inside and outside the house, glorifying gestures that are otherwise considered regular.

Even his journey video - a ritual on Bigg Boss to showcase what the contestants have done in the months spent - glorifies him as someone who has taken the Bigg Boss opportunity to redeem himself. But all this while he mouthed the same 'dhamkis' over and over again.

Rajat Dalal is now among the six finalists of Bigg Boss 18, and in contention for the coveted trophy. And by contention I mean a damn serious competition for all other finalists.

He has been an influencer; so boasts of a large social media following. He has Elvish Yadav, Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, another social media influencer with a fan army, for a friend. This only goes to imply that he would receive a humongous number of votes - enough to win a contest that has mere TV stars in competition.

But does he deserve to win? And against the likes of Karan Veer Mehra and Avinash Mishra who have genuinely tried to invest into the game? Of course, Rajat also played with his barrage of 'samikarans', investing heartlessly into people who were seemingly weaker than him to be the leader. His 'samikarans' were evicted one by one, leaving him to play so-low (read: solo).

Rajat did play but only to be tagged as 'paltu' throughout the season, for he would flip on his words and decisions at any given chance. His relationships inside the house were only aimed at elevating his game - not for the heart. And he miserably failed at that too.

Making him win would, hence, mean justifying a game play devoid of any heart, any emotion.

Making him secure a victory would also imply validating a person's crimes -- that he can knowingly commit a crime, then be called on national television, "redeem" himself and be glorified for the learning arc. But would this guarantee a redemption in the real sense? What if the person resorts to his earlier behaviour and continue to be a menace to the society?

And even if he does redeem himself and vow not to repeat his earlier life patterns, do we rename Bigg Boss as a rehabilitation centre?

Bigg Boss 18 is drawing to a close, and it depends on us - the audience, who we choose as the winner... A person who has practically given it all to the house or somebody with a criminal past, struggling through a similar behaviour inside the house but still getting whitewashed as an emotionally driven saint?

Do we vote for a person who has gained fans due to his game play and personality? Or do we get influenced by social media commentators and side with a non-deserving contestant?

The choice is yours.

The excitement for Bigg Boss 18 is at its peak as the grand finale approaches on January 19. With just two days to go, fans are rooting passionately for their favourite finalists. This season has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride filled with twists, turns, drama and nonstop entertainment. 

As we gear up for the finale, let us take a trip down memory lane and relive the journeys of the top six contestants: Rajat Dalal, Karan Veer Mehra, Vivian Dsena, Eisha Singh, Chum Darang and Avinash Mishra.

Without further ado, here is a flashback of their time in the house:

1. Rajat Dalal: Upon entering the Bigg Boss 18 house, Rajat Dalal quickly formed a close bond with Arfeen Khan and his wife, Sara Arfeen Khan. Even after Arfeen's eviction, Rajat stood by Sara's side and consoled her during tough times. Their friendship remained strong until Sara's exit from the show.

Oh, and who can forget Rajat Dalal's heated physical altercation with Avinash Mishra? The YouTuber's ever-changing dynamics with Chahat Pandey frequently grabbed headlines.



Rajat Dalal also struck a friendship with wild card entrant Digvijay Rathee, but things turned sour, and their camaraderie quickly turned into a rivalry. Adding more spice to his journey, Rajat Dalal engaged in fiery verbal showdowns with Shilpa Shirodkar.

2. Karan Veer Mehra: It would not be an exaggeration to say that Karan Veer Mehra's journey in Bigg Boss 18 has been full of ups and downs. The actor formed a close bond with Shilpa Shirodkar, though their friendship often saw its share of verbal spats.

Karan Veer Mehra's liking for Chum Darang was another highlight of his journey. He openly expressed his feelings for her multiple times but eventually held back when Chum hinted at the possibility of reconciling with her ex.

The standout moments of Karan Veer Mehra's time in the house were undoubtedly his fiery clashes with Vivian Dsena.

3. Vivian Dsena: One of the strongest contestants of Bigg Boss 18, Vivian Dsena confidently referred to himself as “Colors Ka Ladla” during his entry into the show. Right from the premiere itself, Vivian was declared a finalist by host Salman Khan.

A consistent theme throughout his time in the house has been Vivian Dsena's love for coffee. When his wife, Nouran Aly, visited, she gave him a much-needed reality check and urged him to up his game. Her second visit during the family week witnessed some mushy moments between the couple.

Vivian Dsena maintained a strong bond with Avinash Mishra and Eisha Singh. On the other hand, he strongly opposed Karan Veer Mehra. Their fights became some of the season's most intense moments.

4. Eisha Singh: Right from the early days in the Bigg Boss 18 house, Eisha Singh formed a strong friendship with Alice Kaushik, and the duo quickly became inseparable. Their bond grew stronger when they welcomed Avinash Mishra into their squad and created a tight-knit trio. After Alice's eviction, Eisha was seen breaking down in tears.

Eisha Singh and Avinash Mishra's possible romantic connection kept the audience intrigued. Meanwhile, Eisha often referred to Rajat Dalal as “bhai”. Of course, we can not overlook Eisha's arguments with Karan Veer Mehra.

5. Chum Darang: While Chum Darang stayed away from the drama during the initial weeks of Bigg Boss 18, she quickly grabbed attention after a verbal spat with Avinash Mishra. Her journey showcased strong friendships with Karan Veer Mehra, Shilpa Shirodkar and Shrutika Arjun, although her argument with Shrutika added a touch of drama to their bond.

Of course, we can not forget the buzz around Chum's possible romantic connection with Karan Veer. Her candid revelations about her decade-long relationship were another major highlight of her time in the house.

6. Avinash Mishra: Right from day one, Avinash Mishra made it clear that his strategy was simple: he was in it to win. Early on, he had a dramatic fight with Chahat Pandey after she threw water on him. Avinash formed a close trio with Eisha Singh and Alice Kaushik. His cute moments with Eisha also received a lot of love from the audience.

Avinash Mishra shared a steady friendship with Vivian Dsena for most of the season, but things got heated when he nominated Vivian. The two later talked things out and remained cordial. One of the biggest controversies of the season came when Kashish Kapoor called Avinash a “womaniser,” sparking a heated debate.

Which of the top 6 contestants' journeys impresses you the most?
