In the clip shared by ColorsTV, a panel of audience members sat together on stage, and posed questions to Bigg Boss 16 contestants. One person asked Shalin, “Aap hamesha Tina ke peeche-peeche kyun bhagte ho (why do you always run behind Tina)?” To which Salman remarked, “Kya karein aadat hai (what can he do, he is used to it).” A viewer also said about Shalin, “Tina apne fayde ke liye usko use kar rahi hai (Tina is using Shalin for her own benefit).” Reacting to the accusations, Shalin said in Hindi, “I am not dependant on anyone.”

In response to all the discussion around her relationship with Shalin, Tina said in the clip, “Main uss (Shalin) ke saath apni dosti bhi nahi nibhaongi kyunki mere upar ab yeh backfire kar raha hai (I will no longer stay friends with Shalin as that has backfired on me).” Responding to Tina’s statement on the future of her friendship with Shalin, Salman said, “Ab mujhe yeh dekhna hai, challenge hai (now I want to see how that goes, it is a challenge)…’

Earlier, former Bigg Boss 16 contestant Sreejita De and Rajiv Adatia of Bigg Boss 15 fame had also questioned Tina and Shalin’s friendship, and tweeted about their ‘fake cringey love story’ on the show. Many on social media had also insinuated that the actors’ relationship was a part of their game on Bigg Boss.
