As Bigg Boss 19 enters its final stretch, the Top 5 finalists — Gaurav, Farrhana, Tanya, Amaal, and Pranit — were given a crucial and symbolic task by Bigg Boss: to name one contestant other than themselves whom they believe deserves to win the coveted trophy.
The responses were heartfelt, honest, and, in true Bigg Boss fashion, offered a fascinating glimpse into the interpersonal bonds and perceptions the finalists have developed over the season.
Amaal Names Pranit: “He broke the stereotype of a Bigg Boss contestant”
Amaal, who has had a rollercoaster journey with several housemates, chose Pranit as his pick for the winner. He explained that Pranit has been an “unamusing character” in the best way possible — someone who didn’t indulge in theatrics or unnecessary aggression.
According to Amaal, Pranit challenged the typical expectation that contestants need constant fights and drama to survive in the house.
He praised him for staying authentic and proving that calmness and consistency can also be powerful tools in a show known for its chaos.
Pranit Names Gaurav: “Dikhna nahin, sahi dikhna zaroori hai”
Returning the admiration, Pranit named Gaurav as his deserving winner. He stated that in a show where many think that being visible is the key to survival, the real art lies in being right and true — something he believes Gaurav embodies perfectly.
“Iss show mein bohot saare logo ko lagta hai dikhna important hai… but sahi dikhna important hai, and that is Gaurav for me,” Pranit said.
Farrhana Names Tanya: “She has been an entertainer, fake ho ya na ho”
Farrhana, known for her candid opinions, chose Tanya as the potential winner. She praised Tanya for her contribution to the season as an unapologetic entertainer, adding that her presence added the spice the show thrives on.
“Bohot ek masala daala hai iss show mein,” Farrhana said, acknowledging that whether Tanya came across as real or fake, her impact on the show was undeniable.
Gaurav Names Pranit: “The most relatable contestant”
Gaurav returned the favour by naming Pranit as his winner pick. He shared that as a viewer, Pranit felt the most relatable, and that his effortless humour, honesty, and consistency made him stand out.
He also highlighted that Pranit maintained his friendships with sincerity throughout the journey — a rare quality in the Bigg Boss environment.
Tanya Names Amaal: “He never treated this like a game show”
Tanya chose Amaal as the deserving winner, praising him for the emotional depth he brought to the house. According to her, Amaal formed all his relationships with genuine warmth and sincerity, never making anyone feel like they were part of a strategic game.
“Amaal ne kabhi aisa feel hone nahi diya ki vo ek game show mein aaya hai, balki saare rishte dil se the,” Tanya said. She acknowledged that he had flaws but admired his ability to accept them and grow from them.
As the finale approaches, the audience will ultimately decide who takes home the trophy — but today’s task reminded everyone watching that beyond the drama, the show is also about respect, camaraderie, and personal journeys.
