Later, at the dinning table, Gautam and Tina are seen teaming up against Shalin and teasing him of not understanding Gautam as much as Tina does. Tina adds fuel to the passionate fire by saying, “I care for you Gautam, unconditional love…” Post which, the look on Shalin’s face toggling jealousy and blush is pretty evident.

In the past seasons, we have all not just witnessed, but also lived the romance that brewed between few housemates.

Will there be another love story to be seen inside of Bigg Boss house this year? If yes, what do you think will be the hashtag for Shalin Bhanot and Tina Datta? Is this really true love or just another game play? Well, like you all, we too, are waiting for today’s episode with bated breath, to see how this pan love angle pans out.
