Bigg Boss 18 is back with a fresh set of contestants, each bringing their unique flair to the show. Chahat Pandey, the first contestant to step into the Bigg Boss house this season is a television actress whose vibrant personality has already captured the attention of viewers. Here’s a closer look at Chahat’s journey.
Losing her father at a young age, she was raised by her mother, Bhavna Pandey, and began dreaming of the limelight early on. Her big break came in 2016, when she made her TV debut in Pavitra Bandhan at just 17 years old. But it wasn’t until she starred in Hamari Bahu Silk that she became a household name.
Chahat Pandey has been in the news for her on-screen acting and her off-screen dramatic life. In 2020, Chahat and her mother made headlines when they were arrested for allegedly breaking into her uncle’s apartment and vandalizing it during a family dispute.
To add to the controversy, around the same time, there were rumors that Chahat had attempted to end her life due to unpaid dues from her role in Hamari Bahu Silk. Although she quickly denied the reports, the public was left shocked. For months, she struggled with financial issues, even facing eviction for unpaid rent. The payment scandal was eventually resolved, but not before it made news.
Chahat Pandey tried her hand in politics in 2023, joining the Aam Aadmi Party. She even ran for the Damoh Assembly constituency in the Madhya Pradesh elections, but the political journey wasn’t as successful as her TV career.
It’s only been a week since Chahat Pandey set foot in the Bigg Boss 18 house, but she has wasted no time getting into fights, especially with Vivian, and even clashed with Rajat and Sara.
Housemates have been left questioning her motives, with some even mocking her for putting on a show. One housemate remarked, “Koi action bolke cut bolna bhul gaya,” hinting that her “sanskari” act is just that—an act.
Chahat’s fellow contestants are growing increasingly suspicious of her behavior. Many have accused her of faking a ‘good girl’ image to win over the audience. They claim she’s deliberately portraying herself as the calm, innocent type, but is much more manipulative than she lets on. Her constant efforts to maintain a composed, traditional image have left housemates rolling their eyes.
Salman Khan himself stepped in during the weekend ka vaar, calling out Chahat’s strategy. He told her that no matter how hard she tries, her real personality will eventually come out. According to Salman, she might be wearing a mask now, but the audience and housemates alike will soon see through it.
Will she continue to crack under pressure, or will she double down on her ‘good girl’ image? Either way, viewers are eagerly waiting to see what Chahat Pandey does next in this unpredictable game.
