The Big Boss house participants appear to be in the driver’s seat now following the previous contentious Weekend ka Waar episodes. The participants in Big Boss season 16 have started to become more conscious of their behaviour within the Big Boss house after witnessing the fury of Salman Khan, the show’s host. Shalin seems to be holding back on the humiliation he endured on national television as a result of what happened between him and Sumbul, in contrast to the other candidates who have made the decision to put the past behind them.
Shalin was recently observed interrogating Sumbul about her feelings during a conversation they were having in the living room. The actor was seen directly asking Sumbul if she loved him. With a smile on her face, Sumbul Touqeer Khan nodded in response to the query with a firm “no.” The Imlie actress was questioned once more by Shalin Bhanot, who convinced her to modify her response if she so desired; nonetheless, the actress decided to maintain her original response. In the same episode, Sumbul is seen discussing this incident with Nimrit, Gautam and Saundarya, who suggested the 18-year-old actress stop relying on anybody in the big boss house.
Sumbul Touqeer Khan, who’s been targeted for not being in her original form on the big boss show, asked Gautam Vig about his opinion on why people keep on linking her with Shalin Bhanot. Gautam Vig, who was also appreciated by Sumbul’s father for being a ‘genuine’ support system for the Imlie actress inside the Big Boss house, explained to Sumbul that her words did not match her actions, by any means. In the same conversation, Gautam also revealed that a couple of days back, Shalin Bhanot made a confession that Sumbul makes him feel ‘claustrophobic’ and he fears that Sumbul might also go into depression.
Highly disappointed with the ‘claustrophobic’ remark, Sumbul decides to confront Shalin Bhanot for his actions. The Naagin actor confessed in front of Sumbul to making the ‘claustrophobic’ remark. He clarified that it was unrelated to Sumbul. The actor claimed that his prior experiences have made him a “loner,” and that he feels suffocated by other people, as well. The actor mentioned that he was concerned about Sumbul developing depression because she had been feeling incredibly alone the week before.
Later, after calming down Sumbul with her insecurities, Shalin is seen discussing with Tina how Gautam Vig, being his friend, shouldn’t have told Sumbul about all of this. All eyes are on Sumbul and Shalin’s relationship inside the big boss house following the “Shukrawar Ka Waar” episode, which featured Sumbul’s father convincing her of Shalin’s deceptive tactics.
