Bigg Boss Halla Bol: Karishma's relationship with Upen won't last long, predicts the astrologer

During the last leg of Bigg Boss Halla Bol, the makers of the show had brought in astrologer, Pandit Janardhan to predict the future of the final five contestants. Pandit Janardhan visited the Bigg Boss house and conducted a face reading session with the housemates. One of the most interesting predictions that he made in the episode was about Karishma and Upen's relationship. While speaking to Karishma, Pandit Janardhan revealed that she was in three different relationships in her life till date and none of them lasted. Karishma agreed to this and asked if her current relationship with Upen Patel was headed anywhere. To this the astrologer replied that it wasn't. He even predicted that she will end up marrying a high profile businessman who would be a divorcee but her marriage with him will be successful.

Let's take a look at Karishma-Upen's romantic escapades in the house.

Wild Card entries always brings a twist in the tale especially when it comes to the reality show, Bigg Boss. But the scenario is a bit different in Bigg Boss season 8. Upen Patel’s re-entry in the show, as a guest, has not only changed the dynamics of the controversial show, but has also affected the relationship that Karishma Tanna shared with her boyfriend outside the house. Karishma broke up with Rushabh on national television just to be with Upen Patel. Their blooming love story inside the house has been talk-of-the-town. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of this budding love saga.

Upen-Karishma lock lips

After this, Upen and Karishma made it to the headlines when they kissed in front of the camera. Karishma and Upen always got chatty after the lights went off in the Bigg Boss house but their recent activities have left the audience shocked. In the footage shown on TV, it was seen that Karishma pulled Upen to her and kissed him on the lips after the lights went off in the house. The act was rather spontaneous and Karishma was visibly embarrassed upon realising that the act was caught on camera. This is however, not the first time, that a couple has locked lips in this edition of the reality show. Love birds, Gautam and Diandra were also seen kissing each other earlier.

Karishma's break-up plans

Upen had been vocal about his feelings for Karishma since the day he re-entered the show but Karishma had always maintained that she was not single. Although she was visibly smitten by Upen's many charms, Karishma had never accepted it before they were caught on camera, talking about serious issues. Karishma also expressed her feelings for Upen and said that she will break up with her boyfriend once the show ends. And though Karishma was seen confessing that she hadn't felt quite that way ever before, Dimpy had a different story to tell. She was seen telling Sambhavana that Karishma was breaking up with her longtime boyfriend as he had recently suffered financial losses.

Ring for Miss Tanna

Recently, Bigg Boss gave an opportunity to the contestants to buy something for their loved ones from an online shopping portal and the Romeo of the house bought a ring for his Juliet. Upen gifted the ring to Karishma and said that though it wasn't an original ring, he would gift her one as soon as they were out of the house. Needless to say, this gesture fetched them a lot of applause from their co-contestants.
