In the latest season of Bigg Boss 18, viewers were taken by surprise when Karanvir Mehra, a known face in Indian television, revealed unexpected details about his relationship with co-contestant Vivian Dsena. Known as close friends on the show, the pair’s on-screen dynamic has now come under question after Karanvir openly admitted that their friendship might not be what it seems. Fans and viewers are now wondering: is their connection genuine, or was it fabricated to navigate the Bigg Boss house?
Karanvir’s Revelation: Not as Close as It Appears
In a candid conversation, Karanvir revealed that despite the appearance of being close on the show, he and Vivian are not actually that close in real life. He explained, “Vivian and I were never very close. We know each other from celebrity football matches and exchanged a few words there, but we didn’t meet often outside that.” He further clarified that their friendship was limited to around “10 to 12 conversations,” and that Vivian had never even visited his home.
According to Karanvir, his connection with Vivian isn’t deep. “I admire his success,” he said, admitting a certain level of “friendly jealousy” for his accomplishments. “Vivian is ahead in many ways—he’s a successful actor, looks great, and even outperforms me on the football field. But that doesn’t mean we’re best friends.”
Unexpected Reunion in Bigg Boss House
When Karanvir accepted the Bigg Boss invitation, he wasn’t aware that Vivian would also be entering the show. He noted that Vivian’s possible entry into Bigg Boss has been rumored every season, so he didn’t expect to see him in the house. However, when the two crossed paths, Vivian introduced Karanvir as his friend, a gesture that left Karanvir feeling pleasantly surprised.
Reflecting on the moment, Karanvir said, “I didn’t expect him to call me his friend on national television. I felt both surprised and happy in that moment.”
Friendship or Strategy?
Inside the Bigg Boss house, Karanvir’s perspective has shifted. As he observes Vivian’s gameplay, he’s uncertain about the sincerity of their bond. Karanvir explained, “Vivian’s approach to the game doesn’t resonate with me, and I don’t feel the same closeness. He’s neither my friend nor my enemy now. There’s simply nothing between us.”
The revelation has fueled debate among fans, who now speculate whether the friendship they’ve been seeing on screen was staged as part of a strategy to gain support. With both contestants strong in their own right, viewers are divided on who is being genuine in their interactions.
As Bigg Boss 18 continues, fans are eager to see how the dynamics between Karanvir and Vivian evolve. Whether this friendship is real or crafted for the show remains to be seen, and only time will reveal who’s being authentic and who’s playing the game.
