Bigg Boss 19: Abhishek Bajaj becomes new captain of the house, after defeating Amaal Mallik

The drama, intrigue, and riveting tasks on Bigg Boss 19 continue to captivate audiences. With each passing week, contestants are pushed to their limits in tasks that test strategy, stamina, and perseverance. After a tense nomination phase, the show unveiled its latest captaincy challenge — and the competition was fierce.

In last week’s showdown, Amaal Mallik had secured the captain’s title. But this week’s challenge, overseen by Kunickaa Sadanand in her role as moderator (sanchalak), raised the stakes. The captaincy task revolved around a format known as “one opening with a stopper.” Players battled across seven elimination rounds, each round eliminating someone who failed to keep a spot.

Here’s how the eliminations unfolded:

  • Round 1: Neelam lost to Gaurav.

  • Round 2: Zeishan lost to Nehal.

  • Round 3: Tanya lost to Farhana.

  • Round 4: Shehbaaz lost to Baseer.

  • Round 5: Mridul lost to Pranit.

  • Round 6: Ashnoor lost to Awez.

  • Round 7: Amaal, last week’s captain, lost to Abhishek.

After this gauntlet of eliminations, Abhishek Bajaj emerged as the sole survivor, clinching the captain’s position. His steady performance, mental toughness, and patience during the task earned him the top spot.

With captaincy comes both privileges and responsibility. Abhishek now holds decision-making power, and his leadership will influence how the house operates — including the rules everyone must follow. Fans are watching closely to see whether he’ll lead with fairness or adopt a more commanding approach.

As the house dynamics shift, relationships and alliances will likely be tested. With Abhishek in charge, Bigg Boss 19 is poised to serve even more drama, strategy, and surprises.
