A recent double eviction from Bigg Boss 19 saw contestants Nehal Chudasama and Baseer Ali leaving the house. In a subsequent interview, Baseer Ali made a startling revelation about how Bigg Boss personally intervened to guide Amaal Mallik during a difficult time.
According to Baseer, after Amaal’s father’s visit, he was feeling particularly low. Bigg Boss then called Amaal to the confession room, instructing him to find a housemate who could help him manage his emotions and prevent him from crossing lines. Amaal reportedly named Baseer for this role.
This confession, which circulated on Reddit, has ignited a firestorm of criticism. Many viewers are accusing the show’s producers of blatant bias towards Amaal. Comments on Reddit expressed dismay, with one user stating, “BB himself being biased — doing all this off-camera — and they had a problem with Abhinoor talking without mics because ‘the audience will not know what they’re saying’? How LOW can you get, makers?” Another user called it “the first concrete evidence that the makers are favouring Amaal,” adding, “Nobody has ever been given this kind of guidance before. It’s the contestants’ job to improve their gameplay and control their anger. This is ridiculous.” Some have even labeled the show’s actions as image-washing for contestants.
The sentiment is that Amaal, a 35-year-old industry professional, is being overly coddled, with one comment humorously referring to Bigg Boss as Amaal’s ‘bade papa.’ Viewers are frustrated, feeling that the alleged special treatment extends beyond personal guidance, pointing to perceived leniency from host Salman Khan during Weekend Ka Vaar episodes. Despite Amaal facing criticism for his behavior, including bullying and foul language, fans believe he often receives lighter reprimands compared to other contestants.
In other recent developments from Bigg Boss 19, Abhishek Bajaj and Ashnoor Kaur were nominated after discussing tasks without mics. The housemates ultimately couldn’t reach a consensus on their punishment, leading the captain, Mridul, to give Ashnoor and Abhishek another chance, with the rest of the housemates being nominated as a consequence.
Bigg Boss 19 airs on JioCinema at 9:30 pm and on Colors at 10:30 pm.
