In the festive special episode of Bigg Boss 19 aired on October 19 host Salman Khan surprised housemates with a major announcement. Amid Diwali cheer the customary elimination was skipped meaning nominees including Mridul Tiwari Gaurav Khanna Malti Chahar and Neelam Giri were granted a temporary reprieve. The house erupted in relief laughter and festive camaraderie especially as Diwali tasks celebrity guests and celebratory moments took over the screen. What’s behind the no‑eviction choice? The official reason flagged this week as a “Diwali gift” to contestants giving them breathing space before the game intensifies. That said reports suggest there’s a hidden layer Neelam is believed to have received the lowest votes among nominated contestants a detail the show didn’t confirm but that trade trackers and fan forums are already buzzing about. Meanwhile buzz is building around a looming mid‑week eviction with Malti reportedly most vulnerable given her lack of consistent entertainment value and public favour. Despite the festive aura yesterdays episode didn’t lack tension. Salman took housemates to task for shifting loyalties harsh remarks and missed duties. Neelam faced criticism over her inconsistent game‑play Gaurav and Mridul were praised for their genuine efforts; Malti found herself in conflict after entering the house mid‑season. Social media chatter also points to the fact that Malti’s entertainment quotient is under greater scrutiny than ever with Amaal Mallik being questioned for the inappropriate fiasco with Farrhana Bhat What happens next? With no weekend eviction the mid‑week removal now looms large. Rumours suggest producers might target Malti Chahar for eviction during this surprise window a strategic twist meant to shake up the house and catch viewers off‑guard. From a game‑theory perspective saving Neelam this week despite low votes could favor a dramatic ouster of someone else next amplifying suspense and shaking alliances. Why Malti Chahar can get evict? Malti Chahar may get evicted from the Bigg Boss 19 house due to her low visibility and lack of strong individual presence. While others like Gaurav Mridul and Neelam have created buzz through tasks conflicts or bonding Malti has stayed passive. Her chaotic rundown over other contestants and limited involvement have made her less impactful compared to the more active housemates. Story Highlights No elimination this Weekend Ka Vaar due to the Diwali special giving safety to nominees Mridul Gaurav Malti and Neelam. Voting trends suggest Neelam received the least votes among nominated contestants hinting at underlying risk. A mid‑week eviction looms with Malti Chahar viewed as the frontrunner to be ousted from the house. Salman Khan used the Diwali episode to issue stern warnings about behaviour alliances and respect inside the house. The no‑eviction week may feel like a breather but the looming mid‑week elimination has charged the atmosphere. With Neelam reportedly lagging in votes and Malti under scrutiny the coming days could shake up the house more than the Diwali spectacle ever did.
