Anita Hassanandani Defends Aishwarya Khare After Erica Packard’s Shocking Nomination in "Chhoriyan Chali Gaon"
Mumbai, Aug 12 (TheTrendingPeople) – The latest episode of the reality show "Chhoriyan Chali Gaon" saw high drama and shifting alliances as contestant Erica Packard nominated her close friend Aishwarya Khare for elimination, calling it a “purely strategic” move.
The decision stunned fellow contestants, especially Anita Hassanandani, who openly vowed to defend her friend in her absence, saying: “I’ll fight for my friend.”
Anita Speaks Up in Aishwarya’s Absence
Aishwarya was not present when Erica made the announcement. Anita, believing that her friend would have defended herself if she were there, stepped in to speak on her behalf. Host Rannvijay Singha also lent his support.
Friendship Tested
Just two episodes earlier, Erica had described Aishwarya as “everything” to her. The sudden nomination left Aishwarya reflecting on the nature of trust in the game.
“We’ve had each other’s back, or so I thought. It was part of the game; I never imagined it would lead to this,” Aishwarya said.
When Erica received the power to nominate, she chose Aishwarya without hesitation.
“When she said my name, it wasn’t just the game that changed—it was the friendship. She had the power, and she chose me. That says a lot,” Aishwarya remarked.
Erica Stands by Her Move
Erica defended her choice, stating it was necessary to advance in the competition.
“It was purely strategic and necessary to progress in the game,” she said.
But for Aishwarya, the move was still painful:
“It might be strategy. This place tests you in every way. And sometimes, the hardest battles aren’t with your opponents, they’re with the people you thought were on your side.”
Background: A Previous Vote of Trust
Earlier in the season, Aishwarya had named Erica in the voting round to help her become the Maalkin of Basera, trusting that their understanding would hold. This history made the nomination all the more unexpected for viewers and contestants alike.

Reality TV thrives on twists, but when strategy collides with personal bonds, it creates the kind of emotional moments that keep audiences hooked — and contestants questioning their alliances.
