In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 18, tensions rose when contestants battled to secure a spot as contenders for the Ticket To Finale Task. Well, Vivian Dsena and Avinash Mishra played to secure their spots in their way. On the other hand, Karan Veer Mehra took a different approach by competing on behalf of his close friend, Chum Darang. Karan wanted to make Chum the contender for the task.

During the task, in one of the rounds, Avinash Mishra tried to block Karan's way while was trying to take the egg. This resulted in Vivian winning the round. Well, Karam questioned him about the push and Avinash apologised to him.

The next day, while Karan was working out, he questioned Avinash if he did that purposely to make Vvian win or if he did it for himself. Shrutika Arjun, who was also working out jumped into the conversation and accused Karan of setting a narrative. Tensions increased as Karan got annoyed with Shrutika's interference and told her to stay out of the conversation. Within no time, Shrutika and Karan got into an argument. He labelled Shrutika as a 'fence-sitter'. Rajat also alleged that Shrutika's actions were deliberate as she got nominated.

Vivian later questioned Karan's decision to play for instead for himself instead. He even expressed his suspicion that Karan was overconfident about making it to the finale and saw Chum as a weak contestant. Shilpa defeated Chum and said that she had encouraged Karan to play for himself. Karan wanted to play for Chum and Shilpa tried to make Vivian understand Karan's decision. Shilpa tried her best to make Vivian understand the deep bond of friendship shared between Chum and Karan.

Shrutika accused Karan of strategizing and manipulating situations in the house. Karan told her, 'Mujhe teri tarah statistics lekar nahi aata. Main apni game apne tareeke se khelta hoon (I don't bring statistics like you. I play my game my way).'

Shrutika said, 'I go by my heart, someone has to call you in the confession room and ask you how to behave at every point. For me it's not like that, I go by my heart. You go according to game play'. Karan slammed her by saying, 'Some people are not fixable'. Shrutika also accused Karan as she said, 'Pehle din se sirf khel raha hai, I see as real-life incident. You see as isko kaise frame karna hai, isko narrative mein kaise laana hai'.

Karan continued saying, 'No, real-life incident hota toh main statistics leke nahi aata na. Kaun lead kar raha hai, kaun popular hai, kaun kiske forum mein upar haiMain toh normal khel raha hoon. Joh life mein khelte hain jaise. Mereko behan nahi batake gayi kaun popular, kiska zyaada upar hai, kiska neeche hai, kiska PR chal raha hai. Tune bataya hai'.

Shrutika loses her calm and says, 'This is Karan, personal attack, yehi hai Karan ka style'. He starts mocking her and Chum interferers and defuses the fight.
