During the premiere episode of Bigg Boss 18, Salman Khan had declared that Vivian Dsena and Alice Kaushik would end up being the two top contestants this year. The prediction was made before the game even started.
So who is Alice anyway?
And will she really be among the finalists this season?

Here’s Alice celebrating Kanwar’s 31st birthday in style.
She writes, ‘You are the most important person to me. Wherever you are, is my safe place. You fill the gaps, the empty spaces in my life with so much honesty. My boyfriend, my best friend, my whole-family-in-one-person and at times my girlfriend too.
‘I have loved you every day with all my heart, since we fell in love. Even on the sour days, just as you have loved me.’

Alice lost both her parents.
While her father died in 2016, her mother succumbed to a heart condition last year.

Inside the Bigg Boss house, Alice has formed a close bond with Eisha Singh and Avinash Mishra.
They have become so close that Alice suffered a panic attack when Mishra was asked to leave the BB house after being voted out by a majority of the contestants.
But fans and Alice don’t have to worry because Avinash is back in the game.
