The makers of Bigg Boss 18 have shared a new promo which viewers will be able to watch in a few hours. It is being shown in the promo that one of the six finalists will be eliminated. However, what is interesting is that it features just debutant Veer Pahadia. His Skyforce co-star Akshay Kumar is missing.

In the promo, Salman Khan tells the contestants that soon there will be five finalists instead of six. He asked Veer Pahadia, who is going to debut with Skyforce, if he is ready for ‘Mission Elimination’. Here’s the promo:

As is clear, Akshay Kumar is not seen in action. This happened when rumors of him leaving the sets of Bigg Boss 18 started spreading on social media. According to a report in Hindustan Times, Akshay Kumar left the shooting after the delay. The report mentions, “Being punctual, Akshay reached the set for his shoot at the scheduled time around 2:15 pm. But till then Salman had not come. Akshay waited for Salman to arrive for an hour, but he had a trial screening of Jolly LLB 3 in his schedule. Thus, after waiting for an hour, Akshay returned without shooting for the show.

However, in the same report it has been made clear that both the stars, who had worked together in Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, had talked on the phone.

The grand finale of Bigg Boss 18 will start at 9:30 pm tonight. The six finalists of the season are Vivian Dsena, Rajat Dalal, Karan Veer Mehra, Chum Darang, Eisha Singh and Avinash Mishra.
