The "chai pila" trend, sparked by a lighthearted moment on Bigg Boss 19, has taken social media by storm. The moment occurred after the competition 'Thumbnail' when Awez Darbar, in response to a spat with fellow contestant Neelam Giri, jokingly told her to "chai bana aur sabko pila (go and make tea for everyone)". This elicited laughter from the other contestants and quickly became a viral sensation.
Adding a musical twist to the trend, Zaynul Jiwani, a music producer and social media personality known for his catchy reels, created a funny music video out of the exchange and shared it on Instagram. The reel quickly gained traction, with fans flooding the comments with laughter and appreciation for Awez's humorous reply. Even Awez's sister, Anam Darbar, joined in on the fun, adding a personal touch to the viral moment.
However, Kishwer Merchant, a former Bigg Boss 9 contestant, has offered a different take on the current season. Merchant recently posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, calling Bigg Boss 19 "boring". This sparked a debate online, with many fans defending the current season and pointing out that Bigg Boss 9, the season Kishwer participated in, is often considered one of the least engaging.
Some viewers directly criticized Kishwer's comment, with one fan saying, "But much better than your season !!". Others questioned whether Kishwer was even watching the same show, asking, "Aap wahi dekh rehi ho na jau hum dekh rahen hain (Are you watching what we are watching)?". Some fans suggested that Kishwer's comment stemmed from jealousy.
Kishwer Merchant is a well-known TV actress who has starred in shows such as Hip Hip Hurray, Ek Hasina Thi, and Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan. She entered Bigg Boss 9 with her then-boyfriend, Suyyash Rai. Kishwer was known for her strong personality and strategic gameplay, forming alliances and actively participating in tasks. A turning point in her Bigg Boss journey came during the "Ticket to Finale" task. In this task, contestants had to stay inside a fenced enclosure, and the last person standing would secure a spot in the finale. Kishwer chose to leave after about 32 hours, taking home Rs 15 lakh. She later described the situation as unfair and said she felt forced out of the game. During her season, Kishwer formed a strong bond with Prince Narula, whom she called a "brother". Her choice to exit was partly to give Prince a better chance to win, and Prince dedicated his Bigg Boss 9 victory to Kishwer for her support and sacrifice.
