The race for captaincy on Bigg Boss 19 is heating up, and the latest twist saw Nehal Chudasama choosing Awez Darbar as her pick for a captaincy contender, adding a fresh name to the mix.

So far, Farhana Bhat has already secured her place in the captaincy race after winning the ration task, while Abhishek Bajaj qualified after being passed by the housemates in the captaincy exam.

To determine the final captain, Bigg Boss 19 introduced a unique ‘Paparazzi Task’, where contestants must dance non-stop to music. The moment the music stops, Awez Darbar, playing the role of a paparazzi photographer — with bright glares obstructing his vision — must click pictures of the contestants.

The catch? If a contestant gets captured in a photograph, they’re eliminated from the task. While some clicks may be blurry and unusable, others may seal a contestant’s fate by eliminating them from the captaincy race.

Helping Awez in the task are Ashnoor and Farhana, who are guiding him as he tries to snap pictures amid the chaos.

As per the latest update, the following contestants are already out of the task:

  • Amaal Mallik
  • Zeishan Quadri
  • Tanya Mittal
  • Baseer Ali

With Awez navigating the glare and pressure, and Farhana already in the race, the competition is intensifying. Whether Nehal’s choice of Awez will pay off remains to be seen — but in Bigg Boss, surprises are never far behind.
