Shalin Bhanot – Tina Dutta to Become the First ‘Love Birds’ of BB16?

The new Big Boss season has just begun, and the contenders are already ramping up the drama to make it the most successful season in the history of Big Boss. The first week of the show was fantastic, and the viewers are still reeling from the contentious drama inside the home. We saw quite a lot of drama in the opening week of the season, from shifting interpersonal dynamics to an avalanche of new rivalries.

One relationship that has been generating an inevitable buzz outside the house is that between Shalin Bhanot and Tina Dutta. After the “Shukrawar Ka Waar” episode a few days ago, the two were spotted exchanging frosty looks, but subsequently things were resolved between them. Shalin, who was previously linked to Sumbul, was recently seen requesting to switch beds so he could spend more time with the actress, Tina.

The brewing love story between Shalin and Tina, however, doesn’t seem to be making the netizens too happy. The majority of viewers have brutally criticised their alleged false relationship, and others have also suggested that Shalin is just trying to manipulate the girls of the house, especially Sumbul and Tina.

In a recent episode, Shalin was seen mocking Sumbul Touqeer Khan for her personality on the show right on her face. The actor was immediately slammed on the internet for doing so. Sumbul’s fans have ‘warned’ the actress to not stay dependent on Shalin and suggested her play her individual game. Shekar Suman, who was invited as a guest inside the Big Boss house yesterday, suggested the Imlie actress to be on her own. While Shalin has clearly denied any romantic equation with Sumbul Touqeer Khan, the actress has felt ‘betrayed’ on the show and has decided to play her game individually from now onwards.

Well, it would be interesting to watch to see if Tina Dutta and Shalin Bhanot will be the first “official” couple of Big Boss season 16 after Priyanka Chahar-Ankit Gupta and Sanudarya Sharma-Gautam Vig.
