Bigg Boss 18: Jiya Shankar Shows Her Support for Avinash Mishra, Engages Fans
Jiya Shankar, known for her stint on Bigg Boss OTT 2, recently shared her excitement for the ongoing season of Bigg Boss 18. Taking to social media, the actress expressed her love for the show and openly supported her close friend Avinash Mishra, who is currently one of the contestants. The latest season of the popular reality show has kept viewers hooked with its dramatic twists, intense conflicts, and engaging personalities, and it seems Shankar is no exception.
In an interesting twist, Avinash Mishra, who had previously exited the Bigg Boss house, was brought back as an inmate. This unexpected move by the show’s makers added to the mounting drama, sparking conversations both inside and outside the house. Jiya Shankar, who has been closely following the show, took to her official account on X (formerly Twitter) on October 18 to express her excitement and unwavering support for Avinash.
In her post, Jiya wrote, “Now THIS is #BigBoss! What amazing contestants, love every single one of them, but #AvinashMishra is absolutely killing it. Bring the trophy home, Avi #BiggBoss18.” Her enthusiastic message was not only a testament to her enjoyment of the current season but also a heartfelt shout-out to her friend. The post quickly garnered attention from her followers, sparking conversations in the comment section, where she interacted with her fans.
Jiya revealed that her initial motivation to watch Bigg Boss 18 stemmed from her friends, Nyra and Avinash, who were both part of the season. In one of her replies to a fan, she shared, “Started because of my friends Nyra and Avi, but got hooked haha! They’ve cast so well this time! Absolutely loving them all.” This light-hearted response resonated with her fans, who appreciated her honesty and enthusiasm for the show.
However, not all fans were entirely supportive of her engagement with the show. One user voiced concerns, warning Jiya about the potentially toxic environment that can arise from social media involvement in Bigg Boss. In response, the actress assured her fans that she is mostly hands-off when it comes to managing her social media presence, explaining that her team handles her account while she tries to maintain some distance from online negativity. This candid admission offered a glimpse into how she navigates the often intense scrutiny that comes with being a public figure.
Meanwhile, inside the Bigg Boss 18 house, the drama has been non-stop. The season started with 18 contestants, and despite only being a few weeks into the show, conflicts and alliances have already formed, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. One of the major talking points from recent episodes was the heated confrontation between Avinash Mishra and fellow contestant Chum Darang. What began as a verbal exchange quickly escalated, drawing in other housemates, including Karan Veer Mehra, who also clashed with Avinash.
The tension within the house reached a peak when the contestants were tasked with deciding Avinash’s fate. A section of the housemates called for his elimination, citing his involvement in multiple conflicts. However, some believed that instead of being eliminated, Avinash should be jailed as a punishment for his behavior. The divide among the contestants made for riveting viewing, with emotions running high as alliances shifted and tensions flared.
Following the intense deliberations, Bigg Boss himself intervened, ordering Avinash to leave the house through the main door. This unexpected turn of events left several housemates visibly upset, including Alice Kaushik and Eisha Singh, who broke down in tears, claiming that Avinash’s exit was unjust. However, the show was far from done with its surprises. In a dramatic twist, Avinash re-entered the house, this time as an inmate in the jail area with a new responsibility—managing the distribution of rations to the other housemates.
This development added a new layer of complexity to the house dynamics. Avinash, still smarting from his earlier conflicts, refused to provide rations to those who had voted against him, creating a fresh round of tensions and confrontations. His selective distribution of resources further strained relationships within the house, setting the stage for even more drama in the coming days.
Jiya Shankar, along with countless other fans of the show, continues to stay tuned, eagerly watching how her friend Avinash navigates these challenges. As the season progresses, viewers can expect more surprises, intense moments, and perhaps a shot at redemption for contestants like Avinash. For now, Jiya’s message of support rings clear: she’s rooting for her friend, and like many Bigg Boss fans, she’s loving every minute of it.
