The much-anticipated Bigg Boss 18 premiered last night, and the drama unfolded early. In a video shared by the show’s creators, a heated exchange between politician Tajinder Singh Bagga and social media influencer Rajat Dalal grabbed everyone’s attention. The argument stems from a viral video involving Rajat, where he is allegedly seen hitting a biker.
In the clip, Rajat asks Tajinder if he had seen the video. Tajinder calmly responds, “Haan, bike girte huye dekha na. [Yes, I saw the bike falling down.]” Annoyed by the response, Rajat retorts, “Jhuth kyu bol rahe ho? [Why are you lying?]” With a gate separating them, Rajat raises his voice and says, “Gate beech mein hai. Mai 2 minute me mazak bana deta. [The gate is in between. I can make a joke out of you in 2 minutes.]” The tension between the two continues as Tajinder, unfazed, brings up the incident in the viral video, stating that Rajat had indeed hit the biker. Furious, Rajat warns him, “Hisaab se baat karo. Mai bhoot bana dunga. [Speak properly. I will turn you into a ghost.]”
The video, shared on social media, was captioned, “Kal ne racha Rajat ka ghar mein kaal, kya khada hoga ab pehle hi din Bigg Boss ke ghar mein jhagde ka mahaul. [Rajat’s past has created chaos in the house. What will happen on the very first day with an atmosphere of conflict in the Bigg Boss house?]”
Rajat Dalal has been at the centre of controversy ever since the video of him allegedly hitting a biker went viral. Recorded from inside his car, the footage reportedly shows Rajat speeding on a highway and hitting a biker. Despite a passenger’s warning to slow down, Rajat brushed off the concerns, casually responding, “Aap befikar raho. [Don’t worry.]” The clip garnered widespread criticism online, with many condemning Rajat for his reckless behaviour.
