The drama on Bigg Boss 18 has escalated with the arrival of wildcard contestants Kashish Kapoor and Digvijay Rathee, former stars of Splitsvilla X5. Their entrance into the house has added a fresh layer of intensity, and a recent promo sees the duo addressing unresolved issues from their Splitsvilla days, with emotions running high.
In a candid exchange, Kashish and Digvijay revisit the painful moment during the Splitsvilla X5 finale when Kashish chose money over competing in the final stunt. This decision led to Digvijay walking out of the show, and it’s clear that the incident still lingers between them. Kashish, visibly emotional, confronts Digvijay over the harsh label of “selfish” that he had placed on her at the time. She says, “Tune mujhe selfish kyun bola? Don’t you think ki mere ko bhi lag raha hoga kuch na kuch kahin na kahin? Jab insaan sahi hota hai usko nahi lagta hai. Mere liye it was more difficult” (“Why did you call me selfish? Don’t you think I was also feeling something? When a person is right, they don’t realize it. For me, it was more difficult.”).
In response, Digvijay explains his hurt, accusing Kashish of trying to undermine him during the “Splitsvilla” finale episode. “Episode air hua, tujhe bhi pata tha ki kya hoga. You tried to pull me down as much as you could,” he says, expressing his frustration over her actions.
Despite the tension, Kashish takes responsibility for her actions, admitting she hurt him and acknowledging the guilt that has weighed on her since. “Main tujh se bol nahi sakti ki tum overnight mere pe bharosa kar lo. Insaan overnight nahi badal jaata hai,” she shares (“I can’t expect you to trust me overnight. A person doesn’t change overnight.”).
However, Digvijay remains firm in his feelings, expressing disappointment in her decision. He emphasizes the bond they shared and how it was ultimately damaged by her choice. Kashish, still visibly shaken, adds, “Farak hi nahi pad raha tha na tujhe. Tu ladd leta kam se kam mere se. Mere se barsadsht hi nahi ho raha tha tumhara yeh cold treatment” (“It didn’t matter to you. You could have at least fought with me. I couldn’t tolerate your cold treatment.”).
For those who may not be familiar, the fallout between Kashish and Digvijay occurred when, during the “Splitsvilla X5” finale, Kashish had the option to compete for the title or take home Rs 10 lakh. She chose the money, a decision that ultimately led to a rift with Digvijay, who walked off the show in response. Their unresolved tension has clearly carried over into “Bigg Boss 18”, with both contestants now confronting their past on national television.
