The world of Bigg Boss is no stranger to viral moments and trending dialogues, and Karan Veer Mehra, the winner of Bigg Boss 18, knows how to capitalize on them. In a recent, lighthearted social media post, Mehra recreated the "Chai Pila" trend with popular social media influencer Awez Darbar. This playful recreation references a moment from Bigg Boss 18 where Mehra used the line "Chai pila ke vote lene wala kaam bahar, yahan pe kaam karna padega".
The original context of the "Chai Pila" remark occurred during a heated argument between Karan Veer Mehra and fellow Bigg Boss 18 contestant, Tajinder Bagga. During an episode hosted by Ravi Kishan, Mehra confronted Bagga, implying that Bagga's strategy of offering tea to gain votes was not going to work inside the Bigg Boss house. Mehra asserted that contestants would need to do actual work, including household chores like washing dishes and cleaning bathrooms. Bagga retorted sarcastically, calling Mehra the "Time God" of the house.
Fast forward to October 2025, and Mehra is seen having fun with the phrase that originated from that argument. Awez Darbar, a well-known figure in the social media landscape, joined Mehra in the recreation. Darbar himself was a Bigg Boss 19 contestant and had his own "chai bana aur sabko pila" moment that went viral. A clip of Darbar telling fellow contestant Neelam Giri to "chai bana aur sabko pila" ("go and make tea for everyone") after a spat became a viral sensation, further amplified by a funny remix created by music producer Zaynul Jiwani.
The collaboration between Mehra and Darbar to revive the "Chai Pila" trend highlights how reality show moments can transcend the screen and become part of the broader social media conversation. It also demonstrates the camaraderie that can develop between contestants, even from different seasons, who share the unique experience of being on Bigg Boss.
Karan Veer Mehra's journey on Bigg Boss 18 was marked by more than just memorable dialogues. He was known for his strong opinions and was not afraid to confront other contestants. For example, he had a notable rivalry with Avinash Mishra, with the two often engaging in verbal spats. Despite these conflicts, Mehra ultimately emerged as the winner of the season, showcasing his ability to navigate the complexities of the Bigg Boss house.
Beyond Bigg Boss, Karan Veer Mehra has had a successful career in television and film. He started his career with the show "Remix" in 2004 and gained recognition for his role in "Pavitra Rishta". He also won "Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 14". In May 2025, he was announced as the antagonist in the movie "Silaa".
Awez Darbar, on the other hand, has made a name for himself as a choreographer and social media influencer. His dance videos and comedic content have garnered him a large following. His stint on Bigg Boss 19 further solidified his popularity, especially after the "chai bana" incident.
The "Chai Pila" recreation serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and often humorous nature of reality television. It also underscores the power of social media in shaping and amplifying these moments, turning them into lasting trends.
