Politician Tajinder Bagga may have been eliminated from Bigg Boss 18, but he is still keeping a close eye on the developments inside the house. Tajinder has now voiced his support for Shrutika, with whom he shared a close bond during his time on the show. Shrutika has faced accusations for Digvijay Singh Rathee’s elimination last week. However, Tajinder has come to her defence, stating that she was playing a fair game and that it was the other housemates who voted against Digvijay.
In an interview with Cine Speaks, the ex-BB18 contestant explained, “When Shrutika gave the rankings, she didn’t know what was going to happen. She was already targeted, as people said, ‘You’re confused.’ If Shrutika had changed the rankings later, people would have blamed her for being confused. There were six options and Shrutika chose from them. She never said that Digvijay should be eliminated. If 8 housemates are voting against someone, how can Shrutika be responsible? Shrutika gave the rankings and after that, everything was decided by the votes of the housemates. So, if Shrutika is getting blamed, the other 8 housemates who voted should also be blamed. Shrutika always plays fair and dares to call out anyone who is wrong.”
Tajinder Bagga also spoke about the recent controversy involving Kashish Kapoor and Avinash Mishra. The issue started when Kashish accused Avinash of being a womaniser for flirting with her. Tajinder disagreed with the accusation and said it wasn’t fair to call out Avinash in that way. According to him, flirting happened from both sides, but Kashish was more involved. He believed it was harmless flirting and there was no reason to make it a big issue. Tajinder pointed out that calling someone a womaniser is a big thing because such labels can damage someone’s image.
Bigg Boss 18 is just a few weeks away from its grand finale and Tajinder Bagga also shared his thoughts on the top contenders. He believes Rajat Dalal, Karan Veer Mehra, Vivian Dsena and Avinash Mishra are the strongest players in the game. However, he also supports Shrutika Arjun and hopes to see her in the top 5.
