In the latest Bigg Boss 18 episode, host Salman Khan playfully teased Karan Veer Mehra and Chum Darang about their close friendship, even mentioning how fans are “shipping” them by creating a nickname: #ChumVeer.
During the Weekend ka Vaar episode, Salman joked with Karan, saying he’s been giving Chum hints about his feelings, which she’s ignoring. Chum quickly denied this, insisting she hadn’t noticed any hints and laughing it off with, “There is nothing, sir.” Shrutika Arjun Raaj backed her up, saying that Chum doesn’t have any romantic feelings for Karan Veer. When Salman asked Shilpa Shirodkar if she thought Chum and Karan had a spark, she replied she wasn’t sure, adding to the fun atmosphere.
Salman shared that fans had been making memes and even trending #ChumVeer on social media, much to the contestants’ amusement. He asked them to clarify if their interactions were just friendly or if there was more going on. After Salman left, Shrutika suggested to Chum that while she may only see Karan as a friend, their closeness could give the wrong impression. Shilpa also advised them to be cautious, as people might misunderstand.
Karan then spoke with Chum privately, saying, “If you think there’s someone outside who might feel bad, I can keep my distance.” Chum reassured him she had no one waiting outside, and they both agreed their bond was just friendship. Karan told her to laugh off the teasing and not worry about giving explanations.
Meanwhile, in tonight’s Weekend ka Vaar episode, two new wild card contestants, Digvijay Rathee and Kashish Kapoor, are set to enter the Bigg Boss 18 house.
