The tensions inside the Bigg Boss 19 house have flared up once again, this time after Amaal openly accused Gaurav of manipulating former captain Mridul during the controversial nomination involving Ashnoor and Abhishek.
A few weeks ago, Ashnoor and Abhishek were caught on camera speaking without their microphones—an act strictly prohibited inside the house. As punishment, Bigg Boss immediately nominated both of them for elimination. However, the final call was left to the then-captain, Mridul, who had the power to either uphold the punishment or give the duo another chance.
During deliberations, Gaurav argued that the two should not be directly pushed into nomination and deserved one more opportunity. His strong stance played a role in Mridul’s final decision, which was to revoke their nomination. The choice generated significant backlash in the house and even drew criticism from Salman Khan during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
Now, weeks later, the controversy has resurfaced after Amaal accused Gaurav of deliberately influencing Mridul’s judgment.
“Mridul ka bade alag tareeke se influence kiya. Jab kabhi bhi as a captain vo decision lena chahta tha… Bigg Boss ne keh diya tha Abhishek and Ashnoor ne galat kiya… inhone apne ishaaro se… uska mind manipulate hua, aur usne galat decision liya,” Amaal said, reigniting the debate among housemates.
According to Amaal, Mridul was ready to abide by Bigg Boss’ directive, but Gaurav’s constant suggestions and indirect signals allegedly swayed him into choosing leniency—something that Amaal believes was a “wrong decision” not just strategically, but ethically.
The accusation has stirred up fresh conflict, with some contestants agreeing that Gaurav tends to dominate discussions, while others feel Amaal is revisiting past issues to target him unnecessarily. With alliances shifting and past decisions resurfacing as ammunition, the house atmosphere has once again turned volatile.
As the week progresses, all eyes will be on whether Gaurav responds to Amaal’s claims and how Mridul, caught in the crossfire, chooses to defend his leadership decisions. Bigg Boss 19’s drama, it seems, is far from slowing down.
