Reality TV show ‘Tamasha’ gears for last episode, builds hype among fans

Host Adnan Siddiqui praises contestants in goodbye post on IG

The Pakistani adaptation of Big Brother has finally reached its end. Viewers are eagerly waiting to see who will be crowned the winner. Since airing in August, Tamasha has had audiences hooked, and even those who weren’t watching couldn’t escape the viral clips flooding social media.

The show’s host Adnan Siddiqui is ready to conclude the winner’s mystery and took to Instagram to pen a goodbye on Friday. 

“Every day that I walked into the Tamasha Ghar, I witnessed a world within walls: a microcosm of emotions, alliances and raw human instinct,”  wrote Adnan. “Within those walls, I saw laughter that came from the heart and silence that carried the weight of a thousand thoughts. Bonds were forged in fire, tempers flared, egos bruised and regardless, they played their game honestly and fiercely. I watched people stripped of pretence, reacting as they truly are when the world isn’t watching except of course, the world always is.” 

The actor-host applauded the contestants for being able to live under constant scrutiny and the different ways that it tests you. He wrote that there were days when even the strongest cracked under pressure and broke down and praised them for having the strength to move on from that. “As we now approach the grand finale, I carry immense respect for every single one of them,” he wrote. 

Siddiqui ended his note in style, he wrote, “May the best player win.” 

Rumors of an alleged leak about the winner ahead of the finale episode have only fueled the hype online. According to Pakistani blogger Drejaz Waris’s Instagram post, fan favourite Saif Ali Khan has won this season of the show. One user online celebrated this alleged win online and wrote, “Yay, Saif is the winner of Tamasha 4. I’m so happy for him. Season 4 truly belongs to him, well deserved. Saif reigns supreme.”

Another supported Saif’s alleged win and wrote, “Honestly, the only one who truly deserves to win this show is Saif Ali Khan. From day 1, the whole show has revolved around him. He made genuine bonds, showed his real personality, supported others, played every task effortlessly and took stands where it actually mattered.”

However, the official winner will only be revealed in the grand finale episode, set to air tomorrow on Saturday, October 11.
