The curtains fell on Bigg Boss 18, the iconic Indian reality TV show, with Karan Veer Mehra crowned the winner. Vogue Vocal saw how the audience connected to his journey and was rooting for him. His journey throughout the show was emotional, and he built a strong connection with the audience. He had a very promising personality with strong opinions! All fans were quite sure that he would make it to the finals and eventually win the show! But not all wins were easy and free of controversies!
Karan Veer Mehra, the Bigg Boss 18 Winner’s victory, raised many heated debates! Even before the announcement of the Bigg Boss 18 winner, there was an outrage. Fans were really disappointed that his journey wasn’t portrayed as beautifully as that of the other contestants. But luckily, he had the support of his loyal fans! They rallied behind Karan, acknowledging his struggles and drawing parallels with the legendary Sidharth Shukla, the unforgettable winner of Bigg Boss 13.
Every year, Bigg Boss landed itself in hot waters, as some people call it scripted or biased. The show’s popularity has also decreased because of this stance. This year, once again, before the finale, everyone was skeptical about how this finale would turn out. While they supported Karan Veer, they feared Bigg Boss wouldn’t let it happen! The controversy was further heated in the episode where their journeys were played onscreen. Karan Veer Mehra’s journey on Bigg Boss 18 was a rollercoaster of emotions, challenges, growth, and friendship bonds. From the beginning, Karan’s bold personality set him apart from the rest of the participants. His time on the show had many ups and downs. He faced criticism from other contestants, including hurtful comments about his age and personal life choices! But that man proved that only the tough get going when going gets tough!
But in these reality shows, it is very important to reveal your true self! The same was the case with Karan; he won the hearts of the audience with his authenticity! People could relate to him because nobody is all black or white, and Karan also had his dark moments, but he built relatability! He managed to show his softer side with strong bonds in the house, especially with Chum Darang. That friendship is one of the books, the way they showed loyalty and mutual respect. Also, with the intense drama in the house, people loved their refreshing bond. On the flip side, Haran Veer made some enemies too! Karan had fiery clashes with Vivian Dsena, and that kept viewers hooked!
It is a format of Bigg Boss to show the journey of all the contestants who make it to the finale. It is a mix of their emotional moments, their highs and lows. The bonds they made, their fun time, and all that could urge people to vote for them. As the grand finale was near, fans wanted to see the contestants’ journey videos, as not much was left in the show itself. Just then, Bigg Boss 18 landed in a grand controversy over a slight mishandling! Karan Veer Mehra’s video left fans outraged because the other contestants had detailed and emotionally charged videos. But sadly, Karan’s journey was poorly edited and shorter than the others, barely showing his real journey.
Social media platforms erupted with accusations of bias against Karan. Fans felt that the show’s makers had failed to do justice to his story. Tweets and posts highlighted how other contestants’ videos were perfectly edited, while Karan’s video simply missed the mark. Now, the big question was if the makers were deliberately downplaying Karan’s journey to favor other finalists.
A fan page wrote, “Extremely disappointed with # KaranVeerMehra’s journey video. It didn’t highlight his key moments or his bond with Chum. He deserved so much better.” Another post read, “Karan’s journey was inspiring, and the makers completely missed the mark in showcasing it. This feels unfair.”
People are still emotionally connected to Sidhart Shukla and still show their love and support to Shehnaz Gil for her sweet love bond with Shukla. After this video scandal, people pointed out that Sidhart Shukla’s video was also poorly put together!
Vogue Vocal did a little survey asking Bigg Boss fans about their favorite winner, and the unanimous answer was Bigg Boss 13 winner, Late Sidhart Shukla. That emotional element really makes people connect to anyone linked to him. Karan Veer Mehra’s journey did just that to the Bigg Boss fans. Karan’s persona, resilience, boldness, and emotionally available element screamed Shukla!
People started questioning if there was a link between the two? Karan acknowledged this comparison in interviews after his win with humility and emotion. He shared a sweet story about Sidharth that gained him more respect for their connection in the eyes of fans. Karan told how Sidharth lent him his expensive bike for a photoshoot during his early days in Mumbai. “Sidharth had a big heart. I’ll always cherish that moment. To be compared to him is an honor,” Karan’s humility and respect towards Sidhart won our hearts all over again!
Karan’s struggles and determination struck a chord with viewers, many of whom saw reflections of their own lives in his story. The way Karan made it through challenges with grace and his tall head made him a relatable and inspiring figure!
Karan’s personality brought back the intensity and emotional depth that had made Bigg Boss 13 iconic. Fans who had adored Sidharth were rooting for Karan, seeing him as a torchbearer of the same qualities.
Shanaz Gill posted a message for Karan Veer saying “Victory suits you!” And this is the wholesome moment we were all rooting for!
Bigg Boss’s popularity has dropped significantly in the past few seasons. Vogue Vocal thinks that Bigg Boss has made a comeback after this season. Karan Veer Mehra’s journey on Bigg Boss 18 and his eventual win brought Bigg Boss back into the spotlight for the right reasons this time!
Maybe it was nostalgia or the emotional support, but luckily, Bigg Boss is back in the game!
