Bigg Boss 18's Shehzada Dhami Claims Avinash Mishra Imitates Asim Riaz

Bigg Boss 18 has kicked off with intense drama, featuring numerous confrontations among contestants over game strategies, tasks, and their controversial pasts. In the October 12 episode, tensions escalated between Avinash Mishra and actress Shilpa Shirodkar during a dispute about food. This conflict was followed by a physical altercation between Avinash and Shehzada Dhami, who accused Avinash of copying the behaviour of former contestant Asim Riaz.

The situation began when Avinash observed Vivian Dsena preparing food only for himself. He insisted that meals should be shared fairly among all housemates. Shilpa then pointed out that Vivian hadn't received enough food, which irritated Avinash. This led to a heated exchange, with Avinash asserting that no one was secretly eating. His sarcastic smile further provoked Shilpa, who called him out and demanded that he not smile at her that way.

“Don’t you dare challenge my daring abilities. My courage is on a whole different level,” Avinash declared, also advising her not to use the “woman card” in the argument. The heated exchange left Shilpa in tears, prompting other contestants to come to her aid and comfort her.

Following their confrontation, Avinash questioned Shehzada Dhami about the whereabouts of the coffee before their argument escalated. When Shehzada pointed out that hiding the coffee was inappropriate no matter the circumstances, Avinash called him “baingan,” implying that the Yeh Rishta Kya Kehalta Hai actor was quickly changing allegiances.

The situation soon spiralled into a physical altercation, with Avinash accusing Shehzada of lacking originality in discussions. In response, Shehzada accused Avinash of imitating former contestant Asim Riaz, stating, “Look, he’s copying Asim.” While Avinash remained silent on this claim, Shehzada made sure his fellow contestants heard him, adding, “Did you see? He was acting just like Asim.”

Additionally, Avinash and Shehzada clashed again in the October 8 episode during a ration task, where contestants had to stay awake and fill an hourglass in pairs.
