Shilpa Shirodkar has been one of the most popular names on the show this season. For the family week, she will be reunited with her daughter Anoushka. Shilpa's daughter, however, revealed that it was not easy to come to the decision on which family member would visit Shilpa who is older sister of Namrata Shirodkar and siste-rin-law to Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. Anoushka reveals why Namrata Shirodkar, Mahesh Babu skipped family week Ahead of her entry into the house, Anoushka spoke to Times of India about Namrata and Mahesh Babu's reaction to her mother's game inside the house. She also spoke about why her maasi Namrata will not be seen in the house during family week. "They watch the show everyday. My aunt (Namrata) is so proud of my mom. I spoke to her yesterday literally for an hour before I came in and we talked so much about her. Honestly when this opportunity of family week came, I ran. I was like I don’t care, I haven’t seen my mother in the last three months. This is the longest I’ve ever gone without seeing her. I had to come and see her. I have not even spoken to her. I told them dad, "maasi all of you stop I’m going in the house." #ShilpaShirodkar breaks down emotionally as she reunites with her daughter Anoushka.#BiggBoss18 #BB18 pic.twitter.com/0R3Yz21ky8 — BiggBossMedia1 (@BiggBossMedia1) January 1, 2025 Before entering the house, Shilpa had a fight with her sister Namrata. Reacting to the same, Anoushka said, "They are sisters and there are fights in families especially between sisters. You can’t avoid that. She has been watching the show everyday. My aunt has been supporting her since day one and she updates me sometimes when I’m unable to watch the episodes." Shirodkar's daughter also shared the message that Namrata and Mahesh Babu asked her to pass on to her mother. "My aunt and uncle (Mahesh Babu) both are very proud of her. They are sending her lots of love. All of them have said to convey to mom how proud they are of her and how she has conducted herself. It’s incredible she has made it so far in the show. We love her and we can’t wait to see her come home with the trophy." Hard to see mom cry: Anoushka For Anoushka, watching her mother on the show has not been easy. She also said that watching her mom play the game has also made her understand her better. "It’s incredibly hard to see my mom cry on the show. I can’t go in to comfort her or even send her a message. Initially, it was very tough to watch her break down, but over time, I’ve come to understand that playing a character for three months on a reality show isn’t possible. I don’t think anyone in the house is pretending or playing a game—there are naturally ups and downs in everyone’s journey," she said.

01 January,2025 05:17 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSoon after creating the entire ruckus about Karan Veer Mehra physically charging towards her during the God task in Bigg Boss 18, Sara Arfeen is now evicted from the house. Soon after her eviction from the Salman Khan-hosted reality show, Sara got into a conversation with us at mid-day.com and put some serious allegations on Karan, including talking about his two divorces. Sara Arfeen called out Karan Veer Mehra and also questioned his mother. Sara Arfeen- Karan Veer physically assaulted me The Singham Again actress started the conversation by showing her disappointment after she got evicted from the house and shared that she didn't have the gut feeling that she would leave so soon. "A lot of things happened this week that made me feel like if I had left next week, I would have respected that decision because Kashish played me and Karan Veer physically assaulted me. These things happened, and I wanted to bring them up in the house, but I didn’t get the chance,” Sara shared. Further, when asked if she felt betrayed after no serious actions were taken against the Khatron Ke Khiladi season 14 winner, Sara reverted saying that Karan did everything due to his overconfidence and after he got a boost when Farah Khan came and called it a 'Karan Veer Mehra' show. Sara Arfeen- he wasn’t even apologetic Moving forward in the conversation, Sara talked about how, even after getting bruises and scratches because of Mehra, he was totally unapologetic about his behavior and said, “There are two narratives: one says people feel bad for me, and the other says I slipped and Sara is acting. But I didn’t slip on my own, he pushed me, that’s why I slipped. In the medical room, I saw scratches and bruises, and he wasn’t even apologetic about it.” 'Fact that he’s been divorced...' Further, she continued and hinted towards Karan being physically abusive towards women and made some serious allegations. In conversation with us, she said, “After being this unapologetic about what he did, he says that his mother teaches men how to talk to women, and that he is very polite with women and doesn’t abuse them, but his actions contradict his statement, especially considering the fact that he’s been divorced twice. Let me tell you, in the game he’s playing, his true colors are showing, and the audience is not seeing it properly. They are encouraging his behavior, which is unfair. If I were in the game, I would have addressed it.” Before entering the Bigg boss 18 house, Sara Arfeen was last seen in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again.
