The very first week of Bigg Boss Season 19 has already revealed the true colors of the contestants. On the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, host Salman Khan didn’t hold back as he confronted the housemates, made them perform tasks, and even addressed heated accusations among the participants. Emotions ran high as Neelam broke down, alliances shifted, and elimination suspense kept everyone on edge.
Nomination Shock and Salman’s Wake-Up Call
The episode began with Salman Khan asking the housemates who were nominated this week. Seven contestants, Pranit, Zeeshan, Gaurav, Neelam, Natalia, Abhishek, and Tanya raised their hands. Salman reminded everyone of Awez’s earlier statement that nominated contestants were simply “trying too hard.” Both Awez and Nagma clarified their stance, but Salman made it clear: the housemates cannot afford to treat the show like a holiday. Calling it a “wake-up call,” he warned them to step up their game and truly entertain.
Leader vs. Follower Task Creates Tension
Salman then introduced a task where housemates had to decide who they saw as a “leader” and who was a “follower.”
- Basir backed Zeeshan as a leader and called Abhishek a follower.
- Nagma, Ashnoor, and Abhishek too supported Zeeshan as a leader while calling Neelam a follower.
- Natalia felt Kunickaa was a leader, while Armaan was labeled a follower for being too lazy.
- Other names like Tanya, Basir, and Ashnoor also cropped up in the debate.
The exercise sparked several confrontations. Neelam, repeatedly called a follower, finally broke down in tears, claiming she was unfairly targeted.
Awez Brings Laughter with a Fun Task
To lighten the mood, Salman made Awez perform a quirky pole-dance task while answering questions. His antics left the housemates and the audience in splits, breaking the ongoing tension.
Verdict Room Twist: Ashnoor vs Tanya
Later, Salman opened the much-talked-about Verdict Room, a space he described as having “a different energy” where decisions carry weight. Ashnoor and Tanya were put into a cage and asked to give opinions about each other. The house then voted on who carried more of a superiority complex. Tanya received the majority of votes against her, while only a few stood with Ashnoor.
Elimination Suspense—But Everyone Saved
After the votes, Salman announced that Natalia, Zeeshan, Gaurav, Tanya, and Pranit were safe. Only Neelam and Abhishek remained in the danger zone, leaving the house tense. However, in a dramatic twist, Salman revealed that no one would be eliminated this week. He warned, though, that eviction is certain in the coming week.
Abhishek vs. Amal Malik Clash
The episode also witnessed a fiery showdown between Abhishek Bajaj and singer Amal Malik. A simple disagreement over food space escalated into an ugly fight, with both hurling insults. Amal mocked Abhishek, saying he should wear bangles and a saree, and even called him “the child of a protein shake.” Their war of words shocked many housemates, though Basir and Zeeshan chose to remain silent spectators.
Kunickaa Steps Down as Captain
Another major highlight came when Kunickaa Sadanand, frustrated by ongoing conflicts, announced her resignation from the captaincy. She declared she would no longer cook for the house, stating she had done enough in her first week. Housemates decided they no longer needed a captain and would manage duties on their own. The move left the kitchen responsibilities in chaos, as hardly anyone knew how to cook.
What’s Next in Bigg Boss 19?
The first Weekend Ka Vaar made it clear that Bigg Boss 19 is already brimming with drama, fights, shifting loyalties, and emotional breakdowns. With no eviction this week, the tension for next week’s elimination is only going to intensify, and the housemates now face the real test of survival.
