Today’s episode of Bigg Boss 19 was packed with drama, shifting alliances, and fiery confrontations.
The day began with Amaal comforting Neelam, saying the house was ganging up on her. He believed others stayed silent because they felt Neelam doesn’t stand up for herself. However, Amaal praised her for making the right choice.
Meanwhile, Farhana advised Gaurav and Mridul not to compromise on their vegetarian preferences. This sparked a heated exchange between her and Tanya, after a sarcastic remark.
Gaurav, speaking with Kunikaa, noted that since it’s nomination week, everyone is trying to hog the spotlight.
In the kitchen, Abhishek took charge of cooking and sought support from his housemates. When Ashnoor questioned if he could make dough, Kunikaa suggested she handle the dough while Abhishek made chapatis.
Amaal insisted Gaurav should apologize to Neelam, even though she said she didn’t want one. Despite Amaal’s pressure, Neelam refused to accept an apology.
The house agreed: Abhishek would cook lunch, with Ashnoor assisting.
Later, Kunikaa told Abhishek he was a star and predicted he'd win the trophy, to which Ashnoor reminded everyone that all contestants are aiming for the win. Kunikaa diplomatically said that whether it’s Abhishek or Ashnoor, the victory would be deserved.
Elsewhere, Gaurav confronted Tanya about the apology talk. Tanya revealed Amaal was the one who brought it up. Amaal told Neelam that Gaurav would apologize after the show.
Tensions rose again when Tanya offered Zeishan a paratha, and he bluntly declined, saying he didn’t want to speak to or accept anything from her.
Neelam informed Tanya that Malti was telling others Tanya dominates their friendship, while Neelam just listens. Tanya suspected Malti was trying to break their bond.
Excitement spread among the female contestants after receiving a Lakme hamper. Tanya shared that her mom is a fan of the brand.
Tanya and Neelam later discussed Zeishan, and Tanya felt he was avoiding her after finding out she was trending.
Elsewhere, Shehbaz tried dodging dishwashing duties, but Farhana pushed him to clean up.
In another part of the house, Malti, Farhana, and Nehal discussed forming a group. Nehal said their group’s USP is being outspoken. Amaal jokingly dubbed them the “Bermuda Gang.”
Kunikaa gave roti-making lessons to Malti and Mridul.
Bigg Boss then introduced the BB Retreat task, assigning Malti the role of palm reader and Tanya as a motivational speaker. The housemates had to recreate a displayed picture to win the ration.
Malti started palm readings with Pranit and Farhana, then moved to Abhishek and Ashnoor. She called Abhishek practical but labeled him a liar, which Ashnoor refuted. Malti then called Ashnoor “mean” and accused her of trying to dominate Abhishek. Ashnoor defended herself again.
Malti described Baseer as having two faces and said Tanya is smart and practical but lacks hard work. She added that Neelam is confused and simply follows Tanya’s lead. She also read palms of Gaurav, Mridul, Zeishan, and Amaal.
The housemates then attempted to recreate the given image, but Farhana rejected the third one.
Tanya, stepping into her role as the motivational speaker, began by asking Abhishek an odd question about "receiving when someone gives." She then told Gaurav he’s trying too hard to be perfect, which creates distance between him and others. Gaurav responded confidently, saying he’s already in the game.
Later, Nehal warned Abhishek about eating jaggery before meals, triggering an argument with Farhana. This escalated into a loud spat involving Abhishek, Farhana, and Nehal.
To lighten the mood, Shehbaz tossed Farhana into the pool, and she played along by pretending to be a ghost for fun.
By the end of the episode, Ashnoor welcomed Abhishek into the kitchen again, while Mridul remarked to Pranit that the duo is just putting on an act.
Episode Ends.
