The controversial television reality show, Bigg Boss 18 met its glorious end on January 19, 2025, crowning Karan Veer Mehra as the season’s winner, whereas Vivian Dsena and Rajat Dalal became the first and second runner-ups, respectively. All three of the finalists’ stints were impressive throughout the season, but Rajat especially impressed fans with his grounded approach after losing out on the trophy after coming so close. Now, Rajat has addressed the ongoing speculation that his friend, Elvish Yadav might have been the reason for his defeat.

Rajat’s Bigg Boss 18 journey became even more memorable thanks to a playful promise by social media star and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner, Elvish Yadav. For context, Elvish, who is a close friend of Rajat, took to his social media and shared a video cheering for his friend, and motivating fans to vote for him. Elvish had vowed to gift 101 iPhones if Rajat won the trophy, a moment fans couldn’t stop talking about. In a candid chat interview with News18 Showsha, when reminded of this promise, Rajat joked:
“I just want to ask him if he would have paid for those phones or would he have asked me to spend? If yes, mota kharcha ho jata!”
