As Bigg Boss 19 approaches its midpoint, the drama inside the house is heating up, and opinions are flying both inside and outside the house. Kishwer Merchant, a former Bigg Boss contestant, recently shared her views on the current season, praising Kunickaa Sadanand's game plan while also taking a dig at Ashnoor Kaur and Abhishek Bajaj.
Merchant took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her thoughts on the ongoing controversies within the Bigg Boss house. She lauded Kunickaa Sadanand for her entertaining presence and smart gameplay. Many fans echoed this sentiment, agreeing that Kunickaa, despite her controversial moments, brings an undeniable energy to the show. Some viewers have found Kunickaa's behavior towards Gaurav Khanna to be mean and selfish, others admit that she is hilarious and knows how to bring down the house with her antics. At her age, she’s certainly giving it her all for the show’s entertainment factor.
However, Merchant didn't hold back when it came to Ashnoor Kaur and Abhishek Bajaj. She criticized the pair for talking without their microphones, implying a lack of understanding of the Bigg Boss rules. According to reports, a major rule break by Ashnoor Kaur and Abhishek Bajaj led to the entire Bigg Boss 19 house being nominated, igniting widespread conflict. Taking a dig at Abhishek and Ashnoor, she wrote, “Shameless & Thankless… samajh hai #BiggBoss19. Ashnoor and Abhishek have looked so foolish in yesterday's episode.”
Fans were quick to respond to Merchant's candid opinions. Some agreed with her assessment, stating that Kunickaa is playing the game smartly, while others felt that Abhishek and Ashnoor need to "step up their game". Some fans believe that Kunickaa has been carrying the show, while others are just creating drama for no reason.
The dynamics between Abhishek and Ashnoor have been a point of discussion among viewers. Earlier in the season, Kunickaa was seen playfully teasing Abhishek by linking him with Ashnoor. This led to some light-hearted moments in the house, with Gaurav Khanna also joining in on the teasing. Some former Bigg Boss contestants, such as Gauahar Khan and Kamya Punjabi, have also praised Abhishek and Ashnoor, calling them "cute" after they took over kitchen duties. All contestants came together to share a peaceful meal, a scene that quickly went viral on social media after Abhishek's cooking won over both the contestants and viewers.
However, more recently, tensions have risen. Following the rule break, Kunickaa threatened to drag Abhishek to court for troubling a 61-year-old lady. She was angry after Ashnoor Kaur and Abhishek Bajaj broke a major rule in the Bigg Boss 19 house, which led to the entire house getting nominated for eviction. Kunickaa Sadanand showed her anger by refusing to do her house duty and also called captain Mridul Tiwari a weak captain.
As the show progresses, it remains to be seen how these relationships will evolve and who will ultimately emerge as the winner of Bigg Boss 19. The show premiered on August 24, 2025, and is hosted by Salman Khan. There are reports circulating that the show is likely to be extended for another two weeks. In a major twist, the show organizers are planning for two wild card entries. The buzz on social media suggests that Baseer Ali might re-enter the house in the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
