Bigg Boss 19: Did Amaal Mallik flip sides to secure Shehbaz the captaincy? Fiery outburst sparks debate

Bigg Boss 19 has seen its fair share of emotional blowouts and strategic betrayals, but last night’s episode pushed the chaos to another level. 

At the heart of the storm were Amaal Mallik, Shehbaz Badesha, and the consistently unlucky Gaurav Khanna. What began as a task rooted in strategy soon exploded into a controversy that has now spilled outside the house.

GK’s Make-or-Break Moment Turns into a Meltdown

The drama kicked off during a ration-cum-captaincy twist. In the confession room, contestants were asked to choose between rations and a glimpse of their social media activity. But for Gaurav Khanna, the twist was far more intense: he was given two options—claim the captaincy for himself while pushing the rest of the house into nominations, or surrender the position to Shehbaz Badesha.

After multiple failed attempts to become captain, Gaurav finally chose himself. It seemed like a logical strategic move—until everything unravelled. As GK walked out with his newly claimed captaincy, the house quickly spiralled into discontent.

Shehbaz’s Breakdown and Amaal’s Explosive Reaction

No one felt more betrayed than Shehbaz. Convinced the format had tricked him, Shehbaz broke down completely, declaring he wanted to quit the show. His emotional collapse triggered an unexpected but fierce reaction from Amaal Mallik.

In an unprecedented outburst, Amaal blasted the makers, calling Bigg Boss “unfair,” “a cheater,” and accusing Colors and Endemol of manipulating the game. He even declared he would walk out with Shehbaz if the doors were opened. His claim that this was “the first time in history” Bigg Boss had cheated was enough to send shockwaves across viewers and contestants alike.

Kunickaa and Malti stepped in to calm the storm, but the damage was done.

Did Amaal Flip His Stance? Fans Think So

Minutes before this emotional explosion, Amaal had congratulated Gaurav on winning the captaincy and said he made the right choice. But once outside, he suddenly accused the show of foul play. This abrupt shift has raised eyebrows.

Social media was quick to pounce, calling out both Amaal and Shehbaz for “selective outrage,” especially since they have benefitted from favourable twists in the past. Yet, Amaal’s rage seemed to work. Bigg Boss called for an assembly vote, and the majority chose Shehbaz as the rightful captain—ending Gaurav’s leadership within an hour.

The Fallout: Nominations, Shortage & Unanswered Questions

Despite losing his captaincy, GK’s earlier decision remained in effect. The house was left with just 30% groceries, and every contestant—Gaurav included—remained nominated.

Viewers now wonder: Was Amaal’s eruption genuine concern or a strategic manoeuvre to help Shehbaz regain control? The timing certainly suggests the latter.

With Weekend Ka Vaar inches away, all eyes are on Salman Khan. Will he call out Amaal’s direct attack on the makers—or will this controversy be brushed aside like many before?
