Bigg Boss 18 Update: Did Popular EX Contestant Call Karan Veer Mehra 'Nepo Child' Over Face Injury?

Bigg Boss 18 update: Bigg Boss 15 contestant Umar Riaz has reignited the "nepotism" debate in Bigg Boss, calling season 18 contestant Karan Veer Mehra a "nepo child" of the channel. The statement came after Karan Veer suffered a facial injury during a task, which was given significant screen time on the show.

WHAT UMAR RIAZ SAID ABOUT KARAN VEER MEHRA IN BIGG BOSS 18?

While Karan's injury became a major talking point inside the house, it also stirred up trouble among the housemates. Karan was seen creating a big ruckus, demanding attention for his injury and openly stating that he would no longer prioritize anyone's safety during tasks. This declaration caused unease among the contestants, with some questioning his approach to teamwork and task ethics.

However, the real buzz started outside the house when Umar Riaz, a former Bigg Boss contestant known for his fierce gameplay, shared his opinion on social media.

Umar reposted a media update about Karan's injury on his Instagram story and wrote, "Facial injury bullocks! I wish I could have shown my forehead scars during my task. I am sure the channel didn't show, coz I was never their nepo child" - ending with a middle finger emoji.

UMAR RIAZ RECALLS HIS FOREHEAD SCARS THAT HE SUFFERED IN BIGG BOSS 15

Umar's fiery statement hinted at favoritism, as he recalled the injuries he sustained during Bigg Boss 15 that never received the same level of attention. His comment about "forehead scars" refers to his own experience, where he claims his injury was downplayed.

Fans were quick to react, with many agreeing with Umar's take. Discussions on "favoritism" and "channel bias" have resurfaced, especially since Karan Veer's injury became a focal point of recent Bigg Boss 18 episodes.

On a related note, Karan Veer Mehra has been nominated for Bigg Boss 18 elimination this week. He is in the danger zone along with Digvijay Singh Rathee, Chum Darang, Rajat Dalal, Chahat Pandey, Yamini Malhotra, Shilpa Shirodkar, Shrutika Arjun Raaj. The voting lines have been opened on JioCinema.
