There was a lot of speculation that Rajat could win the show, especially since his friend and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, Elvish Yadav, was backing him throughout the competition.
Bigg Boss 18 concluded with Karan Veer Mehra taking home the winner's trophy, surpassing Vivian Dsena and Rajat Dalal in the final showdown. While Karan's fans celebrated his victory, the supporters of fitness influencer Vivian criticized the makers for his eviction in third place, making him the season's second runner-up.
Rajat's fans, on the other hand, chose to boycott the show entirely. Meanwhile, Bigg Boss OTT 2 finalist Abhishek Malhan had already predicted that Rajat wouldn’t win the competition. A video of popular influencer Abhishek Malhan has been making the rounds on social media (Instagram), where the former Bigg Boss OTT 2 finalist not only accused the Bigg Boss makers of using YouTubers for TRP but also predicted long before the finale that Rajat wouldn’t win the show.
Several fan pages shared a clip from Abhishek Malhan's vlog on their social media handles. In the video, the influencer can be heard saying, "Bigg Boss will use him as long as they don't get content or TRP. As soon as the makers get what they need, Bigg Boss will be like, 'Rajat Dalal, get out of the house.' That's how I feel this is going to happen.
For those who missed it, there was a lot of speculation that Rajat could win the show, especially since his friend and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, Elvish Yadav, was backing him throughout the competition.
Elvish Yadav entered the house to extend his support to Dalal in one of the episodes. However, things took a dramatic turn when Yadav clashed with journalists during a media interaction session. Accusing them of being 'paid media', Yadav alleged that they were unfairly targeting him while favouring other contestants, including Karan and Chum Darang.
After the Bigg Boss 18 finale, Dalal was asked by a journalist if Elvish Yadav was the reason he didn’t win the show as the latter's scuffle with the media may have got him negative publicity. Dalal quickly quashed the assumption and said, “I was inside the Bigg Boss house. I will have a clear picture of things now that I have come out. Aapko agar kuch bhi lagta hai toh lagta rahe, main kuch nahi kar sakta usme. He further clarified that the YouTuber is his brother first, and the Bigg Boss 18 trophy comes later.
“Elvish mera bhai hai, jeevan bhar bhai hi rahega. Ek trophy bhai se upar toh hai nahi. Mujhe pata hai na mera bhaichaara kaisa hai. Aapke kehne se jo humari yaadein hai, humara rishta hai, uspe thodi na koi farak padega (Elvish is my brother and will remain my brother for life. A trophy is not above our bond. I know what kind of brotherhood we share. What you say cannot change the memories we have or the relationship we share)." he added.
Meanwhile, Bigg Boss 18 winner Karan Veer Mehra lifted the trophy and took home a Rs 50 lakh cash prize. Rajat Dalal's journey came to a shocking end as he was evicted from the show, finishing third. The unexpected elimination left not only Dalal but also his fellow ex-housemates and fans stunned.
