In today’s episode of Bigg Boss 16, host Salman Khan discussed Archana Gautam’s eviction and debated it with the contestants. Archana was lectured by the host for “intentionally” provoking her to the point where she did what she did.
He even summoned Archana to the witness stand and questioned her actions in relation to Shiv Thakare. She apologised to Salman and stated that she had realised her error and desired one last chance. Salman chastises her for breaking a house rule.
The episode continues with Salman asking the contestants what they think about the Shiv and Archana controversy. Shiv is supported by Tina Datta, Nimrit Kaur, Sajid Khan, and others, who believe Archana deserves to leave because she broke a major house rule.
Salman on the other hand, questions Shiv about his provocation against Archana. He went on to say that it was “pre-planned” and that he saw a clip in which he and MC Stan made it clear that they were deliberately provoking Archana.
He later asks the contestants if they still support Shiv or if they want to give Archana a chance. Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Ankit Gupta, Soundarya Sharma, Sumbul Touqeer, and others supported Archana’s decision to return to the show.
