Actress Shilpa Shirodkar recently took to social media to send warm birthday wishes to her close friend and fellow Bigg Boss 18 contestant, Karan Veer Mehra. The former co-stars, who formed a strong bond inside the controversial reality show's house, continue to share a great equation even after their exit.
A Heartfelt Instagram Tribute
Shilpa Shirodkar used her official Instagram handle to celebrate Karan's special day. She posted a series of photographs that captured their fun-filled camaraderie. The carousel began with two playful selfies of the duo, followed by a more tender picture where Karan is seen lovingly holding Shilpa's face as they stand next to a car.
Accompanying the images was a heartfelt note written in both English and Hindi. Shilpa openly admitted that her journey on Bigg Boss 18 would have been a vastly different and less enjoyable experience without Karan's presence. She expressed pride in his achievements and encouraged him to keep pursuing his big goals.
From Housemates to Lifelong Friends
The bond between Shilpa and Karan, which blossomed during their time in the Bigg Boss house, has evidently stood the test of time. Despite Shilpa's unexpected eviction by the audience just days before the grand finale, their friendship has remained intact outside the show's confines.
In a sweet conclusion to her birthday post, Shilpa urged Karan, "Please jaldi milna!" (Please meet soon!), tagging his Instagram handle. This public display of affection highlights the genuine connection they forged under the intense pressure of the reality TV environment.
Contrasting Bigg Boss Journeys
Their paths on the show concluded differently. While Shilpa's stint was cut short, Karan Veer Mehra went on to emerge as the winner of Bigg Boss 18, claiming the coveted trophy. Shilpa's message underscores that beyond the competition, it was the human connections that left a lasting impact.
Shilpa's Instagram feed is often filled with love for her dear ones. Just recently, she celebrated her daughter Anoushka Ranjit's birthday with a special family dinner, sharing adorable throwback videos and captions filled with maternal love. Her post for Karan adds to this pattern of publicly cherishing her close relationships.
