In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 18, a tense situation unfolded when Alice Kaushik suffered a panic attack after her close friend, Avinash Mishra, was unexpectedly evicted from the house. Avinash’s sudden departure, which came after a heated argument with fellow contestant Chum Darang, left Alice deeply shaken. She became visibly emotional, leading to a panic attack that concerned both her co-contestants and the show’s team. The housemates quickly came to her aid, and Bigg Boss ensured she received medical attention.
What Had Happened?
However, what followed outside the house added fuel to the already intense situation. Former Bigg Boss contestant Manu Punjabi, known for his online commentary, accused Alice of faking the panic attack to gain sympathy and attention. This remark didn’t sit well with Alice’s boyfriend, actor Kanwar Dhillon, who took to social media to express his outrage.
Kanwar Dhillon criticized Manu for trivializing Alice’s mental health issues, accusing him of using the situation for views and online engagement. He urged Manu to be more responsible with his content, particularly when addressing sensitive topics like mental health. According to Kanwar, Manu’s comments were not only insensitive but also showed a lack of understanding of the seriousness of anxiety and panic attacks. Kanwar demanded an apology from Manu for his remarks, pointing out the harm they could cause to those struggling with similar issues.
Kanwar also highlighted how dismissing someone’s mental health for the sake of content reflects poorly on the current state of social media, where attention and views seem to take precedence over empathy and understanding. The situation escalated online, with fans and followers weighing in on the issue, some supporting Kanwar’s stance while others siding with Manu’s opinion. Although, Avinash has been brought back inside the Bigg Boss 18 house.
