Karan Veer Mehra's Unexpected Support for Chum Darang

In one of the rounds, Karan Veer Mehra emerges victorious, reaching Rajat Dalal first and holding a giant egg in hand. When Rajat asks who he is playing for, Karan confidently announces, 'Chum Darang.' This selfless gesture earns Karan praise from Rajat, who says, 'Mujhe bahut pasand hai aise log jo dusre ke liye khele' (I really like people who play for others).

Tensions Rise as Contestants Clash

The competition takes a more heated turn in another round, where Avinash Mishra blocks Karan Veer Mehra's path, causing him to fall. A visibly frustrated Karan confronts Avinash, saying, "Fair fair karte karte maar diya na dhakka, arre thoda toh sharam kiya karo yaar" (You pushed me while pretending to play fair, you should have some shame). Avinash, unphased, responds, "Main tabhi tak fair khel sakta hoon, jab tak mere saath fair ho" (I can only play fair as long as the game is fair with me). Karan, clearly irked, retorts, "Yehi par Bigg Boss haar gaye tum" (This is where Bigg Boss lost you).

The Final Showdown

The "Ticket to Finale" task has not only tested their stamina and agility but also their ability to strategize and form alliances in this high-stakes environment. With every round, the contestants inch closer to the ultimate goal, but only the most determined and tactical players will make it to the grand finale.
