While Salman Khan announced that there will be no eliminations this week on Bigg Boss 13, he had another surprise for the contestants. During the Weekend ka Vaar episode on 26 October, Salman introduced two wildcard entries to the Bigg Boss house – YouTuber and internet personality Hindustani Bhau and entrepreneur Tehseen Poonawalla. Their appearance comes shortly ahead of the mid-season finale.
Vikas Fhatak, aka Hindustani Bhau, who is known for his meme-worthy YouTube and TikTok videos, made an appearance mimicking Sanjay Dutt’s character in Vaastav. Fans have predicted that he is likely to cause quite a stir in the Bigg Boss house and some wonder whether he might just end up winning the show.
Ahead of the episode, Tehseen Poonawalla teased his entry into the show in true Bigg Boss fashion. Poonawalla is married to Monica Vadra, a cousin of Priyanka Gandhi’s husband Rober Vadra.
In response to one Bigg Boss fan’s comment celebrating his entry into the Bigg Boss house, Tehseen responded cheekily with, “People in politics are the best in entertainment.”
Ex-Bigg Boss contestants Urvashi Dholakia and Sana Khan, also made an appearance on the show and handed the contestants their Diwali tasks. They divided the house into two teams and gave them a task to make a sweet dish and decorate diyas. Team Sana, which had Shehnaaz, Devoleena, Dey, Shukla, Aarti and Mahira Sharma won the task.
