Pearl V Puri supports close friend Shalin Bhanot when questioned about his loyalty to Tina Datta

During the weekend ka vaar episode of Bigg Boss 16, host Salman Khan asked Shalin Bhanot to press the buzzer to save her friends Tina Datta and Sumbul Touqeer from elimination by giving up Rs 25 lakh of the prize money won. Shalin did not press the buzzer and Tina was kicked out of the house. While netizens questioned Shaleen’s loyalty to Tina given their equation, his close friend and actor Pearl V Puri supported Shaleen’s actions.

“I’ve known Shalin for years, one thing that comes to mind is his trait of always sticking up for his friends. He is close to his parents. I have seen him in his good times and also during his struggles. I think one thing I can vouch for is that this guy hasn’t changed one bit in about a decade. He’s a good friend to have,” Pearl told Pinkvilla.

Pearl also said that Bigg Boss is a tough game and people should not be judged on their personality based on their reactions inside the house. He said that sometimes people do certain things that they don’t want to do. He emphasized that their actions should be treated as a game in which one wins and the other loses.

Meanwhile, Tina was once again brought back to the show after Bigg Boss once again gave Shaleen the choice to redeem her actions at the cost of losing Rs 25 lakh from the prize money. However, Tina called Shaline a fake friend for not saving her from elimination and argued why he didn’t press the buzzer when she was leaving and why he did now all of a sudden. She also added that she saw him dancing and singing songs after she left the house.

The weirdest part was when Shalin told Sreejita De and Archana Gautam that he never liked Tina and only liked her for chicken and was with her for food. He said he only worried about his food and she did so that was the only thing he missed about her. He went on to say that he won’t even talk to this girl after he leaves the house because there will be a restaurant outside for that.
