The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 was filled with drama, tears, and intense confrontations as the contestants participated in an emotionally charged captaincy task.
‘Chithi Aayi Hai’ Task Sparks Chaos in the House
The episode began with the captaincy task titled “Chithi Aayi Hai”, where housemates received heartfelt letters from their families. However, there was a twist — contestants could either return the letter to its owner and be out of the captaincy race, or shred it to stay in the competition.
Farrhana Bhatt found herself holding Neelam Giri’s letter and made the tough decision to shred it, choosing to stay in the captaincy race.

Neelam Giri Breaks Down in Tears
Neelam pleaded with Farrhana not to destroy her letter, saying, “Please don’t do it!” Despite her emotional appeal, Farrhana proceeded to shred it. The decision left Neelam devastated, and she broke down, crying uncontrollably as the rest of the house tried to console her.
Housemates Turn Against Farrhana
Farrhana defended her decision, saying, “Everyone has their own choice to do what they want.” However, her explanation didn’t sit well with other housemates. Tanya Mittal and Kunickaa confronted her, accusing her of unnecessary animosity.
The situation escalated when Amaal, angered by Farrhana’s attitude, threw away her food and water while she was eating, even breaking her plate in frustration.
Fans Draw Parallels Between Farrhana Bhatt and Asim Riaz
The incident reminded fans of Bigg Boss 13, when Asim Riaz shredded Mahira Sharma’s letter and faced backlash from the housemates. Many viewers took to social media to draw comparisons between Asim and Farrhana, calling her a bold and strategic player.
One fan wrote, “Farhana did amazing I’m loving her. If not Asim, then Farrhana will lift the trophy now, Inshallah!” Another commented, “She’s here to play the game, not to take care of somebody’s emotions!”
