In a dramatic turn of events on Bigg Boss 19, Nehal has emerged as the new captain of the house, just days after being on the brink of elimination. The model, who was previously voted out, surprised housemates when she returned from the Secret Room, where she had been observing the game in silence.

Her return brought a wave of speculation, but it was soon followed by a captaincy task that turned the spotlight back on her. In a democratic vote, Nehal secured the majority support from fellow contestants, beating out strong contenders Ashnoor Kaur, Tanya Mittal, and Shehbaz Badesha.

From nearly walking out of the show to now leading the house, Nehal’s journey has taken a sharp upward turn. Her captaincy will now be closely watched by both housemates and viewers, especially given the dynamics she’s witnessed from the Secret Room.

Contestants were divided into five pairs, competing on a zig-zag race track while wearing one foot inside a giant boot. Their goal: race from the start to the finish line and solve a puzzle — all while other housemates acted as obstacles on the track. Each round had a dedicated ex-captain acting as Sanchalak.
