On Day 8 during the Hijack task, Gautam Gulati lost his cool when Karishma Tanna applied spice powder on his face and hurled abused towards her. Although he later apologised for his behaviour but Karishma did not accept it as she wanted a disqualification and took a matter to another level. Due to this the whole house was against Gautam and they all cornered him and supported Karishma.
They both were at loggerheads throughout the season and had many differences. During the weekend episode in week 2, Salman Khan tried explaining Karishma that she was wrong as well on her part for not accepting his apology.
Season 7 housemates Andy Kumar and Kamya Panjabi also told Karishma that she had become the villain and made Gautam a hero and said that she never wanted an sorry but a disqualification. Other housemates like Diandra Soares and Sukirti Kandpal also was questioned by Khan, Kumar & Panjabi for their over reactions over this fight.
Aarya & Minissha's past[]
Minissha Lamba told co-contestant Deepshikha Nagpal that Aarya Babbar asked her to be his girlfriend on the show to get more publicity.[12]
When host Salman Khan asked Aarya about Minissha's claim, he admitted to strategize this and revealed about there past relationship which Lamba had denied which got him really angry and threw his mike off which led to him getting nominated for the following week.[13][14]
However after getting evicted, Minissha denied the statements by Aarya. She said "We never dated each other. What Arya said is not true. We have been co-stars on many films and then friends but nothing more than that. He was under a lot of pressure when he said that so I forgave him,".[15]
Diandra & Sonali's big fight[]
In Week 4 during the Heroes vs Villains task, there was a massive fight between Diandra Soares and Sonali Raut. Diandra had apparently got physical with Sonali which got Raut very upset and shocked as other housemates supported Soares. This led to Diandra getting nominated for eviction.
This was possibly because of the rivalry between Diandra and Sonali's sister Ujwala Raut. Salman Khan had questioned other housemates for not standing up for Sonali and compared this to when they supported Karishma against Gautam.
Kim Kardashian's entry controversy[]
In November 2014, there were many reports saying on American actress Kim Kardashian's entry on the reality show as she was reportedly coming to India to promote her new product. After this many people talked about this and thought she coming could be another big highlight of this season. A statement by the channel Colors released saying: "Namaste India... main Kim Kardashian aa rahi hoon India... Bigg Boss ke ghar mein [Hello India, I am Kim Kardashian and I am coming to the Bigg Boss house]," the statement quoted Kardashian as saying.[16] Later it was reported that her appearance was cancelled due to visa problems.[17]
Karishma's makeup[]
In week 7, during a task where Karishma and Gautam were sent to the confession room, they had to answer few questions and hold a placard saying yes or no. One of the questions that were asked was for Karishma to give up her makeup to save Sushant Divgikar from eviction. But everyone was shocked when Tanna refused to give her makeup. Many people trolled Karishma on social media after she made this decision and called her selfish.[18]
Later after Sushant got evicted; he said: "I don't hold any grudge against anybody in the house. Had I been there in the house and was asked to sacrifice my items to save a friend, I would have. But Karishma's point was different. I have to set the record straight".[19]
Puneet Issar attacked Aarya Babbar[]
Puneet Issar while performing a luxury budget task got upset and attacked Aarya Babbar.[20] He pinned him on the ground using is physical strength, which became a big chaos. As a result, Puneet was ejected from the house however he re-entered the house the next day asking for forgiveness and was kept in a cage for punishment.[21]
However after Aarya got evicted he said "A distinctive characteristic of every person was highlighted on the show- sweet, self-obsessed, quarrelsome, dumb and hypocrite. Puneet Issar was obnoxious, cheap and dirty. He represents the dirt and murk of the society. He would call someone his son and daughter and then later talk bad behind their backs."[22]
Diandra-Gautam's bathroom story[]
Initailly from the start of the season Diandra Soares & Gautam Gulati both love story began however after the terrible fight between him and Karishma, Diandra went away from him and found him weird.[23] However after the Gautam City task, the two started talking to each other and love story began again.
During another time Diandra kissed Gautam shocking the other housemates. During Gautam's birthday, Diandra took him into the bathroom which became a biggest highlight of the season. However, they both started having problems after the party task where ex contestants Kashmera Shah & Sambhavna Seth had where Seth told Gautam about his mother's dislike towards his relationship with Diandra. After this they both maintained a distance from each other until Diandra's eviction.[24][25]
Post after getting evicted there was a lot of news about Diandra's pregnancy which became shocking however she denied this. She said “Kissing doesn’t lead to pregnancy. It’s just a rumour that has been flying outside.” “I was taken to hospital because I was unwell. Now my health is absolutely fine,”[26] She later said ""I am really sad with Gautam's behaviour and what woman won't be upset? I just have one advice for Gautam and that is to be a man and grow up. Stop being a mama's boy every time. He should learn to take a stand."[27]
Post after the show ended Gautam had said "I know there was an ‘Emraan Hashmi moment’ between us. It was a momentary impulse. It would be rude to reject a girl who kisses me. So I kissed her back. There was nothing more than that. I am going to marry the girl that my mother chooses for me. We are just friends; there can be nothing beyond that. I regret going into the bathroom with her. There was nothing between us and will never be."[28]
Karishma-Upen Love Story[]
Karishma Tanna was very vocal about having a boyfriend outside named Rushabh Choksi since the starting of the season.[29] However the audience and housemates were in shock after Karishma got romantically involved with Upen Patel.[30] Upen confessed his feeling towards Karishma and later both went from friends to being a couple.
