The Bigg Boss 19 house has become a battleground, with a recent captaincy task igniting a series of conflicts between contestants Farrhana Bhatt, Shehbaz Badesha, and Amaal Mallik. The task, designed to determine the next captain, quickly devolved into a series of heated exchanges and accusations, revealing underlying tensions within the house. Ultimately, Amaal Mallik secured the captaincy amidst the turmoil.
The drama began during the musical chairs-inspired captaincy task, where contestants had to groove on a musical guitar dance floor. Shehbaz Badesha, acting as the 'sanchalak' (moderator) after an early elimination with Tanya Mittal, added fuel to the fire. Competitive spirit soon turned to friction as Farrhana Bhatt and Mridul Tiwari clashed, engaging in an "ugly spat" that involved pushing and accusations. Farrhana was heard saying Mridul "came begging here," escalating the argument.
Gaurav Khanna's support for Mridul led to a further escalation, with Farrhana questioning Gaurav's standards and asking, "Who are you? Some TV superstar?". This remark ignited a fierce response from Gaurav, who declared he would show her "the power of television" and that she would remember being in his season when he's in the finale. Other housemates had to intervene to calm the situation.
Adding to the chaos, Kunickaa Sadanand and Neelam Giri physically pushed Abhishek Bajaj during the task, further intensifying the already heated atmosphere. Abhishek, enraged, warned Kunickaa against physical altercations.
The tension didn't end with the task. Farrhana later accused newly appointed captain Amaal Mallik of bias in kitchen duties, alleging she was denied breakfast despite completing her assigned tasks. She claimed Amaal prioritized being liked over fairness. Amaal defended himself, stating Farrhana created her own problems. The exchange grew sharper, with Farrhana accusing Amaal of "selective leadership" and trying to be a "hero of the poor". Amaal countered that he made others do their duties and that a person becomes a hero by helping the poor. Kunickaa's involvement further escalated the dispute, leaving the house in turmoil.
Adding another layer to the conflicts, an earlier captaincy task involving personal letters also stirred up emotions. In this task, housemates had to choose between shredding letters from loved ones or giving up their chance at captaincy. Farrhana's decision to shred Neelam's letter angered Amaal, leading him to throw Farrhana's plate in frustration. Gaurav's attempt to piece Neelam's letter back together resulted in Bigg Boss canceling the task altogether.
