The latest episode of Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 19 delivered yet another surprise as Malti Chahar was eliminated during a mid-week eviction — shrinking the competition just days before the grand finale.
According to the update, Malti’s exit was confirmed after a high-stakes task in which contestants had to place their photos into a fire pit. Insiders revealed that Malti’s flame turned bright red — the cue for her eviction — ending her journey in the house.
With her departure, Bigg Boss 19 now officially has its top 5 finalists.
Despite earlier speculation about her possible safe passage — fueled by a final-week promo that initially excluded her — the makers subsequently reuploaded a revised promo that again included Malti. The earlier omission had sparked accusations from fans of favoritism and fixed outcomes.
Fans have reacted strongly to the eviction. Some criticize the move, arguing that Malti had a fair shot; others believe the eviction was justified. Either way, the mid-week twist has left the Bigg Boss 19 house with just five contenders as the grand finale looms.
