Day 5 in the Bigg Boss 19 house was a rollercoaster of emotions, heated arguments, and intense gameplay. With the first captaincy task in full swing, shifting loyalties and unexpected twists kept contestants – and viewers – on edge. From emotional confessions to food fights and strategy-driven drama, here’s everything that unfolded inside the house today.
The Merry-Go-Round Captaincy Kickoff
The day began with the continuation of the Merry-Go-Round task, where contestants rushed to the ride and sang nursery rhymes whenever children’s voices were played. Each round led to eliminations, narrowing down the race for captaincy.
Adding a shocking twist, Farhana, who had been in the secret room since Day 1, exercised her special power. She eliminated Baseer from the captaincy task, explaining that he was too dominating and a potential strong contender. However, Bigg Boss made Baseer the sanchalak, giving him the authority to monitor the task.
After rounds of plotting and strategizing, Abhishek Bajaj, Kunickaa Sadanand, and Ashnoor Kaur emerged as the final contenders for the coveted first captaincy of Bigg Boss 19.
Tanya Breaks Down Missing Her Mother
The emotional moment of the day came when Tanya broke down, missing her mother. She expressed feeling unappreciated despite managing household chores diligently. Tanya admitted she often felt misunderstood by her housemates, adding to her emotional struggle.
Gaurav’s Captaincy Preference Sparks Rift
A heated exchange took place when Tanya questioned Gaurav Khanna about his captaincy choice. Despite sharing a motherly bond with Kunickaa, Gaurav revealed his preference for Ashnoor as captain. He explained that Ashnoor maintained good equations with everyone, while Kunickaa was “too soft.”
This revelation did not sit well with Kunickaa, who accused Gaurav of backstabbing her for not being upfront. Their strained equation has now become one of the most-talked-about conflicts in the house.
Zeishan Confides in Abhishek
In a quieter moment, Zeishan opened up to Abhishek Bajaj, claiming housemates were painting a false narrative of him being “aggressive.” Abhishek assured him he wasn’t influenced by others. However, Abhishek later discussed the conversation with Awez and Nagma, proving how quickly trust and strategies shift in the house.
Nehal vs. Abhishek: Food Fight Escalates
The kitchen once again became a battleground when Nehal and Abhishek fought over food portions. Abhishek mocked her, calling her “Kaleshi” and a “Fame Digger.” Later, Nehal vented her frustration to Baseer and Pranit, claiming that while Gaurav stays calm when confronted, Abhishek only chooses to pick fights with her.
Amaal Malik’s Emotional Past Revealed
Amidst the chaos, Amaal Malik shared a deeply personal story from his past relationship. He recalled how his ex-girlfriend once begged him to stop her wedding by meeting her before a performance, but he chose to prioritize his parents’ wishes. Years later, Amaal learned that she was unhappy in her marriage, still emotionally tied to him. His revelation left housemates emotional and gave fans a rare glimpse into his vulnerability.
Captaincy Task with Painted Tiles
Bigg Boss later introduced a painted tiles task as part of the captaincy showdown. Contestants were asked to paint tiles in support of their chosen contender and hand them over. Each contender then had to place the tiles on the stage.
Adding a strategic twist, housemates could also flip tiles of other contenders to hide their colors, sabotaging their chances.
- Kunickaa chose Baseer as her representative.
- Abhishek and Ashnoor decided to play themselves.
- Tanya was made the sanchalak to ensure fairness.
The stage is now set for an intense captaincy battle that will decide the first leader of Bigg Boss 19.
