Avinash Mishra out of Bigg Boss 18 top 5 after Salman Khan's schooling, nemesis Chaahat Pandey remains

Avinash Mishra is thrown out of the most popular contestants' list from Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 18. This list, unveiled by Ormax Media for the week of October 19-25, comes at a time when Avinash got schooled by Salman. Interestingly, Chaahat Pandey remained on the list. But can you guess who replaced Avinash?

Avinash Mishra out, Chaahat Pandey in Bigg Boss 18 top 5

The top five contestants of Bigg Boss 18 includes Chaahat Pandey. Avinash, who made it to the list after Salman took a stand for his, is now out. Chaahat, on the other hand, stays stable on the list at number four.

Shruthika Arjun replaces Avinash Mishra

Not exactly, but Shruthika Arjun is the latest entrant on the list. While Avinash made it as the third popular contestant last week, Shruthika just entered at number five. Meanwhile, Shilpa Shirodkar rose up the ranks and has become the third most loved contestant. This comes at a time when Shilpa is touted as the leader of the second group of Bigg Boss 18 (which has Shilpa, Karan Veer Mehra, Chum Darang, Shruthika, Tajinder Bagga and at times, Chaahat Pandey). The first group was formed almost upon entry and consists of Avinash Mishra, Eisha Singh and Alice Kaushik being constants. Vivian Dsena is seen bonding with the group but it's not official whether he is a part of it.

Rajat Dalal and Vivian Dsena still fight it out

Rajat Dalal is the most loved Bigg Boss 18 contestant even this week. Vivian Dsena, who enjoys immense popularity on TV and entered Salman Khan's show as one of the top two finalists, is still competing with Rajat for the spot. This week too, Vivian ranks second on the list of the most loved contestants on Bigg Boss 18.

Bigg Boss 18 is available for streaming on JioCinema via OTTplay Premium. The reality TV show, hosted by Salman Khan, streams at 10 pm on weekdays and 9.30 pm on weekends.
