It began when Bigg Boss asked the housemates, “Shalini, Apni aadat ko lekar apni cheezo ko lekar bahut hi particular hai. Mujhe aisa kyu lag raha hai ki ghar main bhi aisa ek sadasya hai? Kon hai wo?” The housemates quickly pointed to Vivian.

Vivian then opened up, explaining, “Ek chiz jise mujhe problem hai, jo main personally bhi follow karta hu ki agar main kuch kha raha hu ya meri plate main koi khana hai, so usme kiska jhutha spoon mujhe zara bhi pasand nahi hai. Isliye main pehle bol deta hu ki agar kisi ko chahiye toh bolo, main clean spoon se apko apni plate main hisa de dunga.”
