While the contestants tried to catch her in contradictions, viewers started digging up her old reels, modelling photos, college party memories, and fashion content.
Her fights in the Bigg Boss 19, particularly with Ashnoor Kaur, became viral among the viewers, and her brief camaraderie-turned-distance with singer Amaal Mallik also got a lot of attention.
