Entertainment, entertainment, entertainment—that’s how we describe Hema Sharma, aka Viral Bhabhi. During her 15 days in the Bigg Boss 18 house, she danced, laughed loudly, and screamed louder, hoping to reduce fights over food and spread love. However, her journey on the controversial show ended sooner than expected. As the first contestant to be evicted, it shocked both housemates and the audience. Sharma remains unfazed. “However short, it was an opportunity I cherish. I didn’t expect to be the first one ousted. Inside the house, I kept wondering who would take care of everything. I don’t have anyone handling things for me; I went in alone. I was unaware of how I was being perceived.”
