The latest Bigg Boss OTT 2 nomination task created quite the stir on Tuesday’s episode. Contestants had to sacrifice a personal item in order to nominate another, leading to several emotional moments. Captain Jiya Shankar and Abhishek Malhan, who was saved by the audience, were asked to pick one person in each round, whose nomination would be accepted. As they chose Avinash Sachdev, who wanted to put Pooja Bhatt up for eviction, the Bollywood actor-filmmaker was seen getting upset and decided to unleash her wrath on Abhishek.

Avinash reasoned that Pooja supports ‘wrong people’, like Bebika Dhurve, and encourages her bad behaviour. Pooja, in response, mentioned how she believes in aiding people rather than stopping them from being themselves. She called Avinash’s reasons bogus, and as Abhishek decided to go with it, she was seen complaining to the other contestants. She even called him out for body shaming Bebika.

“Mujhe bhi Tun Tun sunna khatakta hai, kyunki jis duniya mein main rehti hoon auraton ko Tun Tun nahi bolte, but I let it go because I think yehi hai yahan ka vibe… logon ko koi problem hai nahi isse… (I also don’t like it when someone calls women Tun Tun on this show. I the world I come from, nobody talks to a woman like that, they don’t call them Tun Tun. But I let it go as I feel this is the vibe of this show and people don’t have problems with it).”

She also mentioned how Abhishek has been feeling insecure about her giving attention to Bebika. “For the first time I felt Abhishek was insecure about how I give attention to Bebika and this is weird because I have never stopped anyone from talking or supporting a person who they like. Then why do I get questioned?” the Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi actor said.

Other than this, Falaq Naaz was seen breaking down in the episode, after she sacrificed her family’s photo in the task. The actor also gave up her ring, which was gifted by her mother. Bigg Boss OTT 2 streams on JioCinema.
