In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 19, host Rohit Shetty took Shehbaz to task for calling the show biased after Gaurav was summoned to the Assembly Room to choose between captaincy and ration, while Shehbaz was not given the same opportunity.
Rohit questioned Shehbaz directly, asking who had the bigger fan following between him and Mridul. Shehbaz admitted that Mridul had the larger fan base. Rohit pointed out that if the show had truly been biased, it would have eliminated the contestant with the lesser fan following—not Mridul.
When Rohit turned to Amaal, he raised a related concern. Amaal argued that Shehbaz, despite having the highest votes in the public voting round, was neither called to the Assembly Room nor given the choice of captaincy, and his fan following was not highlighted. Instead, Bigg Boss offered these options to Gaurav, who had received fewer votes.
Rohit countered firmly, asking Amaal if he had listened carefully to Bigg Boss’s instructions, reminding him that there was no guarantee that preference would automatically go to the contestant with the higher votes.
Amaal acknowledged Rohit’s point and apologized, clarifying that he was merely expressing how he felt at the moment.
The exchange highlighted how perceptions of fairness and favoritism can arise in the house, but also reinforced the show’s underlying rules, emphasizing that decisions are based on more than just fan votes. It was a reminder to housemates and viewers alike that strategy, rules, and perception often intersect in complex ways on Bigg Boss 19.
