In a candid Weekend Ka Vaar segment of Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan confronted Shehbaz over his controversial decision to nominate Mridul as the house captain, sparking a tense discussion on strategy, control, and gameplay.
Salman questioned Shehbaz directly, asking why he had chosen Mridul for the position. Shehbaz defended his decision, claiming, “I saw potential in him and felt there would be fewer fights under his captaincy.”
However, Salman immediately disagreed, pointing out that Shehbaz had never mentioned potential when discussing his choice with Amaal. “You said, humare numbers kam hai, not anything about potential,” he said, hinting that the decision may have been driven by strategy rather than merit.
Taking a firmer stance, Salman suggested that Shehbaz might have chosen Mridul because he thought he was easier to control. “Dusre group ka koi chunna hi padega, toh aise bande ko chuno, jiski baag daud hamare haath mein rahe,” Salman remarked, implying that the captaincy choice was motivated by manipulation rather than capability.
The host did not hold back in assessing Mridul’s gameplay either, labeling him a weaker contestant compared to others in the house. This sparked murmurs among the housemates, as Salman’s critique questioned not just Shehbaz’s strategy but also Mridul’s overall potential in the competition.
The exchange highlighted the strategic undercurrents in Bigg Boss 19, showing how alliances, influence, and personal biases often play a bigger role than individual merit in deciding key positions like house captain.
