The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode on Bigg Boss 19 brought intense drama as host Salman Khan openly criticized Abhishek Bajaj for his captaincy style, accusing him of being little more than a “rubber stamp” during his tenure. The controversy has sparked fresh debates within the Bigg Boss 19 house about leadership, influence, and decision-making.
During a fiery conversation with Abhishek, Salman alleged that it wasn’t Abhishek himself who was leading the house but rather his teammate Ashnoor Kaur. According to Salman, Ashnoor was the real captain behind the scenes, effectively hijacking Abhishek’s authority and using him as a figurehead.
Salman remarked, “Your teammate Ashnoor Kaur was the actual captain. You were just a rubber stamp for her decisions.”
The blunt accusation took Abhishek by surprise and sparked a firm rebuttal from him. Standing his ground, Abhishek dismissed Salman’s criticism, stating clearly, “Main sunta sab ki hu, but karta apni hu.”
He insisted that while he valued others’ opinions, the final decisions during his captaincy were his alone, rejecting the notion that Ashnoor controlled him.
Salman, however, was not convinced by Abhishek’s defense. He pointed out that the viewers and people outside the house largely perceived Ashnoor as the one steering the captaincy, effectively overshadowing Abhishek.
He reminded Abhishek of the previous Weekend Ka Vaar episode, during which Salman had advised him to keep distance from certain individuals—an indirect reference to Ashnoor’s influence.
Salman stated, “Everyone outside thinks Ashnoor was hijacking your decisions. Remember when I told you to stay away from some people? That was a hint.”
Salman further added that Abhishek’s friends inside the house might have also considered him a weak captain who was unable to make firm decisions on his own. He said, “Your friends in the house must have thought you were a weak captain, someone who couldn’t stand by his decisions and needed constant guidance.”
This sharp exchange between Salman and Abhishek has intensified questions about power dynamics within the Bigg Boss 19 house, particularly about how captains assert authority amid competing alliances and influences.
