The Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar episode took an emotional turn when Kunickaa Sadanand's son, Ayaan Lal, appeared on the show and shared her life struggles. Ayaan's heartfelt words about his mother's journey moved many to tears, including host Salman Khan.
Ayaan expressed immense pride and support for his mother, urging her to prioritize herself. He recounted her past struggles, including a difficult custody battle for his brother. Ayaan revealed that Kunickaa entered the film industry to earn money to fight the custody case, which lasted 12 years. He described how she would fly between Delhi and Mumbai every week, often leaving her with little money. After a long legal battle, Kunickaa was finally reunited with her son.
Ayaan also shared that his mother always dreamed of having a family but didn't receive love from her own family. She married at 17, but the marriage did not work out. Despite these challenges, she remarried and moved to the US, where Ayaan was born, but her second marriage also faced difficulties. Ayaan emphasized that Kunickaa has always wanted a family and that he is grateful she has finally achieved that. He requested everyone not to prevent her from living her life and not to comment on her journey.
Salman Khan praised Kunickaa and advised the contestants that their negativity towards her made them look bad. He also addressed hurtful remarks made by co-contestant Farrhana, who had called Kunickaa a "flop actress" and questioned her motherhood. Salman gave Ayaan the opportunity to speak with Farrhana about the incident. Ayaan shared the emotional story about his mother's custody battle, which touched not only the housemates but also Salman Khan. Farrhana apologized to Ayaan for her words.
Kunickaa has been a prominent figure in Bigg Boss 19, and has been seen giving advice to her younger housemates. She advised Tanya Mittal to develop a stronger voice for herself in the house, referring to an incident where Zeishan Quadri mocked Tanya's bodyguards. Kunickaa's ability to share personal truths while guiding others has made her a contestant to watch this season.
