Bigg Boss 19: Abhishek Bajaj, Ashnoor Kaur & Pranit More - The twist that broke friendships and the internet

The Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Salman Khan, turned into an emotional battlefield when the unthinkable happened - Abhishek Bajaj was shown the door. He wasn’t the only one; Neelam Giri’s eviction was announced too. While Neelam’s exit was expected by many, Abhishek’s departure left fans and contestants stunned.

Often schooled for his “steadfast views, below-the-belt comments and gregarious personality that was perhaps a bit too hot to handle for many,” Abhishek was one of the most talked-about players of the season. What made his eviction harder to digest was that it wasn’t decided through public voting, but by one of his own housemates - his close friend, Pranit More.

A Cruel Twist of Fate

Pranit, who had just returned from medical leave, was handed the power to save one contestant among the bottom three - Abhishek Bajaj, Ashnoor Kaur, and Neelam Giri. The twist? The other two would be evicted immediately.

Neelam’s fate was almost sealed, given that Pranit belonged to the opposing camp. But the real dilemma lay between Abhishek and Ashnoor. Salman Khan reminded Pranit to save the one who truly “had a game inside the house, and a fair chance for the trophy.” After a tense pause, Pranit chose Ashnoor.

That single decision changed the course of Bigg Boss 19.

Netizens Rage: “Unbeatable Abhishek Bajaj” Trends

The aftermath was swift and fiery. Fans flooded social media, making “Unbeatable Abhishek Bajaj” one of the top trends on X (formerly Twitter). Abhishek’s eviction shocked his supporters, who felt their favourite was unfairly ousted for reasons beyond gameplay.

As one user posted, “He pretends to be nice, but he isn’t. He could have saved his friend, but he didn’t. What contribution did Ashnoor even make? Still, they removed her to clear the path.” (sic)

Another wrote, “Bhai itna dogla pan.”

Pranit More Gets Brutally Trolled as ‘Dogla’

Once praised for his wit and diplomacy, Pranit More found himself at the receiving end of intense trolling after Abhishek’s exit. The stand-up comedian was mercilessly labeled ‘Dogla’ by angry fans, who accused him of betraying his friend for personal gain.

Hashtags like #DoglaPranitMore and #JusticeForAbhishekBajaj began trending, flooding timelines with memes, angry reactions, and emotional posts. 

One furious netizen wrote, “He could have saved his friend, but he didn’t. He just proved he’s a double-faced player.”

Another comment read, “Dogla Pranit More. Lost respect today.”

What seemed like a strategic choice inside the house has now turned into a massive PR storm outside it.

Celebs Join the Debate

Even television actress Kamya Punjabi weighed in on the drama. She tweeted, “Oh so yeh plan tha… hard luck #Abhishek Kya khelte ho yaar #BiggBoss bechare #Pranit ko bhi guilt meh daal diya. @ColorsTV”

Inside the house, emotions ran high. Though Pranit chose to save Ashnoor, the stand-up comedian herself couldn’t hold back her tears as her friend walked out. The eviction may have spared her from elimination, but it cost her dearly in emotional currency.

Fans vs. Fate: Was It Fair?

While Abhishek’s fans argue that he was “robbed” of his chance at the trophy, others claim that Pranit’s choice was strategic, not personal. But one thing is undeniable - the decision has divided the fandom and redefined loyalties inside the house.

As the dust settles, one question remains: Did Ashnoor really deserve to stay, or was this the moment Bigg Boss 19 turned from a game into a gamble of hearts?
