Karan Veer Mehra’s compelling performance on Salman Khan’s controversial reality show, *Bigg Boss 18*, has solidified his position as a top contender. His impressive gameplay has garnered significant support from fellow celebrities and industry colleagues. Adding to the chorus of endorsements is *Bigg Boss 8* winner, Gautam Gulati, who lauded Mehra’s “winner’s attitude.”
Gulati’s Instagram comment, featuring Mehra and a trophy emoji, under a reel dedicated to the actor, sparked a wave of online criticism. Accusations of sponsorship prompted Gulati to clarify his stance. He stated, “I don’t know him well, but he has the mentality of a winner, not putting anyone down because everyone is doing well, but I saw a couple of videos where he has a point and the correct attitude to handle things.” He further reiterated his support on X, declaring “#KaranveerMehra Real Game.”
Mehra’s support extends beyond Gulati. A host of television personalities, including Ankita Lokhande, Vicky Jain, Niti Taylor, Garvita Sadhwani, Surbhi Chandna, Faisal Shaikh, and Shiv Thakre, have publicly voiced their confidence in his victory. Lokhande, when recently asked about her preferred contestant, confidently predicted, “Karan. Wo hi jeetega (He will win),” praising his mature gameplay.
Mehra’s success isn’t limited to *Bigg Boss 18*. He previously triumphed on Rohit Shetty’s adventure reality show, *Khatron Ke Khiladi 14*. The emotional impact of his sister’s recent visit to the *Bigg Boss* house, as part of the family week, further underscores his strong connection with viewers. The visit, captured in a recent promo, left Mehra visibly moved. The promo also showed Chum Darang’s mother entering the house, with Darang pointing her out to Mehra.
Following Sara Arfeen Khan’s elimination, the top ten contestants of *Bigg Boss 18* remain: Rajat Dalal, Karan Veer Mehra, Avinash Mishra, Vivian Dsena, Eisha Singh, Chahat Pandey, Shrutika Arjun, Kashish Kapoor, Shilpa Shirodkar, and Chum Darang.
