Looking back at Shilpa Shirodkar's journey in the Bigg Boss house after her alleged elimination
Shilpa Shirodkar came into the Bigg Boss house after a career hiatus as a leading Bollywood actress, assumably, to revive her career. Salman Khan, the host of the show, often cited how it was Shilpa's 'dream' to be on the show.
However, when Shilpa Shirodkar joined Bigg Boss 18, rumours spread immediately that she was playing a "Karan-Arjun" game with fellow contestants, actor Vivan Dsena and Karan Veer Mehra.
Shilpa frequently became engaged in the conflict between Karan Veer Mehra and Vivian Dsena after becoming a mother figure to them.
Shilpa Shirodkar struggled to develop her own identity throughout her time on Bigg Boss 18. To advance in the game, she needed the help of Karan and Vivian. The audience wanted to watch Shilpa play the game on her own, but that never happened.
Shilpa Shirodkar claimed to be Karanveer Mehra's true buddy from the start, however, she was the first to nominate him for elimination. Shilpa won the Time God task by choosing Vivian over Karan. Fans were horrified by her behaviour, and she received a lot of backlash as a result.
Shilpa Shirodkar began with a strong alliance between Karan and Vivian, but during the game, she appeared confused about her alliances. Salman Khan repeatedly emphasised her lack of clarity.
Shilpa Shirodkar's game looks weak in comparison to the current Bigg Boss 18 candidates. Only one person can win, and Shilpa Shirodkar is reportedly out of that league due to a lack of votes.
It will be interesting to see what Shilpa does outside of the house for work, will she return to acting?
