The Bigg Boss 19 press conference saw yet another pointed moment when a journalist labeled Pranit as the “Katappa of Bigg Boss 19”, drawing a comparison to the infamous character from Indian cinema known for making a shocking betrayal. The reference came after Pranit’s controversial decision during a crucial eviction, where he chose to save Ashnoor over Abhishek, a move that left viewers divided and sparked heated discussions on social media.
Facing the media, Pranit calmly defended his choice, explaining his reasoning behind the decision. He said, “Tab mujhe wahi laga tha ki woh better thi, also dono mein se ek dost ko hi save kar sakta tha.” His response highlighted that the decision was strategic and personal, rather than malicious, and that he had acted in what he believed was the best interest at that particular moment in the game.
The journalist’s remark, while intended to provoke a reaction, instead brought out Pranit’s composed side, as he emphasized fairness and thoughtful judgment in a highly charged environment. His explanation reflected the constant pressures contestants face when making tough choices that impact both relationships and gameplay inside the Bigg Boss house.
Fans and media observers noted that such situations often test not just strategy, but also the contestant’s ability to manage perceptions outside the house. Pranit’s calm defense suggests he is prepared to handle scrutiny as the competition intensifies and the finale draws closer.
The incident continues to fuel debates among viewers about loyalty, friendship, and the difficult decisions contestants must make in reality television.
