Bigg Boss has always been known for its high drama, emotional rollercoasters, and strategic play, but this time, Bigg Boss season 18, the show seems to have crossed the line into outright manipulation. What started as a battle of wits has turned into a dark web of bias, favoritism, and behind-the-scenes influences. While the show anchored by the iconic Salman Khan deliberately painted Vivian as the "ladla" (favorite), the real game seemed to be in Karan’s favor all along. TheGlitz reports.

The queen of sultry selfies and fierce dance moves has just dropped a social media bombshell, and it has all the makings of a classic Malaika move: a little mystery, a touch of sass, and just enough to leave us all buzzing with questions. In a recent Instagram story, Malaika shared a post that left the world wondering, “Is she single or not?” Spoiler alert: The answer isn’t clear, but that’s what makes it all the more tantalizing.

When Bigg Boss 18 kicked off, the focus was undoubtedly on Vivian Dsena, the heartthrob and fan-favorite, who was immediately dubbed as the show’s “ladla” (favorite) by the creators and the media. It’s no surprise - the actor with the baritone voice has a massive fan following, a proven track record, and a personality that stands out. However, as the season progresses, there’s a growing suspicion that the true "ladla" of the show might not be Vivian at all.

It was lively, fun, and the fashion was on point. Sometimes, all you need is a bit of light-hearted escapism, and I’m all for it. So when I sat down to watch Ananya Panday's Call Me Bae, I wasn’t expecting Citizen Kane. But what I wasn’t expecting was just how puerile and soulless it would turn out to be.
