As preparations for the much-anticipated grand finale of Bigg Boss 18 continue in full swing, unexpected drama has taken center stage. Originally slated to feature Bollywood heavyweights Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan as special guests, the finale now finds itself in a tight spot after Akshay walked out of the shoot due to delays caused by host Salman Khan.
Akshay Leaves Over Delays
According to reports, Akshay Kumar arrived promptly at the scheduled call time of 2:15 PM alongside his Sky Force co-star Veer Pahariya. However, when Salman Khan failed to arrive even by 3:15 PM, Akshay chose to leave the set without filming his segment. His decision was influenced by a prior commitment to a trial screening of his upcoming film, Jolly LLB 3.
Sources suggest that Akshay had anticipated wrapping up his shoot within the allotted time but, unable to accommodate the delay, he prioritized his film screening over the show.
Impact on the Finale
With Akshay’s sudden exit, Aamir Khan remains the sole confirmed guest for the grand finale, apart from Salman Khan and his Team Sikandar. Speculation is rife about whether the show’s makers will rope in another celebrity last minute or proceed with a revised episode format.
The absence of Akshay Kumar’s segment could significantly alter the finale’s flow, leaving fans wondering about the dynamic between the two Bollywood stars and Salman Khan.
Fan Reactions and Industry Buzz
Fans of both Akshay and Bigg Boss 18 have taken to social media to express their disappointment over the incident. Many applaud Akshay for adhering to his commitments, while others criticize the apparent lack of punctuality on Salman’s part. The situation has also fueled discussions about professionalism in the entertainment industry.
What’s Next for Bigg Boss 18 Finale?
As of now, Aamir Khan is expected to remain on set, even if Salman Khan’s arrival is delayed further. Whether the makers will add a new guest to fill the gap left by Akshay or proceed with a shorter episode remains to be seen.
The finale of Bigg Boss 18 will air tonight, January 19, at 9:30 PM on JioCinema via OTTplay Premium. Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding drama!
