In a surprising turn of events, Bigg Boss 19 saw a double eviction this week, with Nehal Chudasama and Baseer Ali exiting the house. In a recent interview, Baseer Ali shared a behind-the-scenes detail about Amaal Mallik, revealing that Bigg Boss had a private conversation with Amaal in the confession room to help him cope with feeling low after his father’s visit. During this conversation, Bigg Boss apparently advised Amaal to find a housemate who could help manage his emotions and prevent him from crossing lines. Amaal then apparently confided in Baseer, mentioning that Bigg Boss had suggested his name.
This revelation, shared on Reddit, quickly drew sharp criticism from viewers who felt it indicated a clear bias from the show’s producers towards Amaal. Many pointed out the double standards, questioning why Amaal received such special treatment while other contestants were scrutinized for even minor rule breaches. The online community expressed frustration, calling the guidance a “ridiculous” favor and accusing the makers of trying to “wash” contestants’ images, citing past instances with other participants.
Fans have long voiced their discontent over Amaal Mallik seemingly receiving preferential treatment from host Salman Khan during the ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episodes. Despite Salman Khan’s assertion that Amaal has been the most criticized contestant, many viewers disagree, citing instances where Amaal’s aggressive behavior and foul language often resulted in mild reprimands compared to the harsher consequences faced by others.
What Baseer Ali Said About Amaal Mallik
When asked about continuing his friendship with Amaal outside the house, Baseer told Zoom, “There were so many moments when I felt deeply for Amaal, and he also reciprocated in a beautiful way. Especially after his dad came and left, he was feeling very low. Bigg Boss called him to the confession room, where Bigg Boss asked him to find someone in the house who could control him, help him in difficult situations, and stop him from going below the belt. So he came to me and said, ‘Bigg Boss told me this, so I took your name.’”
Reddit Expresses Anger
The clip quickly gained traction on Reddit, where users accused Bigg Boss of providing Amaal with off-camera assistance. One user commented, “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 remarked, “Wow, this is big. The first concrete evidence that the makers are favouring Amaal. 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.” A third user added, “The entire show is made out of cut-outs! It’s now all about image washing — first Sajid, now Amaal, and many others in the past.”
One particularly irate Reddit user stated, “He needs another person to control him and stop him from going below the belt? A 35-year-old grown man who has worked in the industry for years is being coddled like a newborn. Bigg Boss really turned out to be Amaal’s ‘bade papa’.” Another comment read, “As if the biased Weekend Ka Vaar episodes weren’t enough. How low will you stoop, Bigg Boss makers?”
Recent Developments in Bigg Boss 19
In the latest episode following Nehal and Baseer’s eviction, Bigg Boss addressed Abhishek Bajaj and Ashnoor Kaur for discussing matters without their microphones in the swimming pool area. Consequently, Bigg Boss declared they would be directly nominated, leaving the final decision to the housemates. When the housemates couldn’t reach a consensus, the captain, Mridul, decided to give Ashnoor and Abhishek another chance. As a form of punishment, Bigg Boss then nominated all housemates except Abhishek and Ashnoor.
The show is currently airing on JioCinema at 9:30 pm and on Colors at 10:30 pm.
