Bigg Boss 18’s recent episodes have ignited a firestorm among viewers, sparked by Kamya Punjabi’s confrontation with fellow contestant Vivian Dsena. Punjabi, a former co-star of Dsena’s, criticized his perceived lackluster performance in the show, prompting a divided reaction from fans. While some see her intervention as a well-intentioned, albeit late, attempt to motivate the popular contestant, others view it as unfair and even humiliating.
Adding fuel to the controversy, former Bigg Boss contestant Manu Punjabi took to YouTube to express his strong disapproval. He accused the show’s producers of orchestrating the confrontation to undermine Dsena, suggesting they intentionally delayed Punjabi’s involvement to maximize the negative impact. Punjabi argued that earlier intervention could have prevented Dsena’s perceived confusion and misguidance within the game. He stated, “The makers, through Kamya, wanted Vivian to fail, lose direction, struggle to understand the game, and then publicly humiliate him. They didn’t even consider bringing Kamya in earlier to clear up the confusion.”
Despite his criticism of the show’s producers, Punjabi lauded Dsena’s genuine nature, pointing to comments made by a family member during the family week episode, who called Dsena “the most genuine person in the house.” This endorsement, coupled with Punjabi’s strong words, has solidified fan support for Dsena, who is now considered a strong contender for the title.
The controversy stems from Punjabi’s appearance on the Weekend Ka Vaar episode with Salman Khan, where she voiced her disappointment with Dsena’s gameplay, urging him to be more assertive. This interaction, coupled with Punjabi’s prior professional relationship with Dsena, has only intensified the debate surrounding the fairness of the situation. With the Bigg Boss 18 finale fast approaching later this month, the outcome remains uncertain but heavily influenced by the fallout from this recent clash.
