**Mumbai, India –** The Bigg Boss 18 grand finale is shaping up to be a dramatic spectacle, with a flurry of guest appearances, heated debates, and electrifying performances. While Akshay Kumar’s scheduled appearance was unfortunately cut short due to Salman Khan’s absence, the finale promises a star-studded lineup including Aamir Khan, Junaid Khan, and Khushi Kapoor promoting their upcoming film.

Former contestants, including Vikas Jain, Shilpa Shirodkar, Mannara, Ankita Lokhande, and Aditi Mistry, are rumored to be in attendance, adding to the excitement. The show itself saw its share of drama, with a tense moment during the roast segment where Karan Veer Mehra’s joke about Vivian Dsena’s daughter sparked controversy. Mehra later apologized.

The finale will also feature a series of dance-offs, including a much-anticipated showdown between Vivian Dsena and Rajat Dalal, as well as a performance between Avinash Mishra and Karan Veer Mehra.

Predictions for the winner are flying fast and furious. While an HT.com poll favored Karan Veer Mehra, other contestants have garnered significant support. Former contestant Shrutika is rooting for Chum Darang, while Aditi Mistry supports Rajat Dalal. Munawar Faruqui, winner of Bigg Boss 17, publicly endorsed Vivian Dsena for his “dignity and discipline.” Conversely, Chahat Pandey criticized Eisha Singh’s place in the finale, suggesting her success was largely due to her relationship with Avinash Mishra. Eisha’s brother, Rudraksh, vehemently defended her. Mannara Chopra anticipates a close contest between Vivian and Rajat, highlighting Karan Veer as a strong contender based on entertainment value. Elvish Yadav publicly backed Rajat Dalal, criticizing the media’s perceived bias towards Karan Veer Mehra.

The winner will take home the ₹50 lakh cash prize and an all-gold trophy, mirroring the opulent setting of the Bigg Boss house. The grand finale airs Sunday at 9:30 pm on Colors and Jio Cinema.
