As Bigg Boss 19 inches toward its finale the mood inside the house has become unpredictable. Sharp jokes blunt comments lingering tensions and open confrontations have taken over. With viewers debating who will eventually clinch a spot in the top finalists the housemates too seem to be testing each other’s patience.
But the latest episode took a surprising and uncomfortable turn when Kunickaa Sadanand remarked on fellow contestant Malti Chahar’s personal life which left both the house and the internet stunned.
What exactly did Kunickaa say inside the house?
During a quiet conversation in the bedroom area Kunickaa was seen speaking to Tanya Mittal. The two were discussing the rising friction inside the house particularly involving Malti who has had multiple disagreements with Tanya and Farrhana Bhatt in recent days.
While talking Kunickaa suddenly remarked that she believed Malti Chahar was “lesbian”. Tanya visibly confused asked her what made her say that. Kunickaa responded softly that she had observed Malti’s behaviour and felt it hinted at something.
This one line—spoken casually in a whisper- changed the tone of the entire episode.
How did viewers react outside the house?
A clip of the conversation quickly circulated online and social media users did not hold back. Many criticised Kunickaa for making assumptions about someone’s sexual orientation on national television calling the comment “insensitive” “unnecessary” and “out of line”.
Hashtags questioning her remark began trending even before the episode ended with viewers demanding accountability.
What did Rohit Shetty say?
In the following segment host Rohit Shetty addressed the issue head-on. Without raising his voice he made it clear that the remark was inappropriate especially when aired in front of millions of viewers.
Rohit told Kunickaa “Aap itni senior hain aap meri bhi senior hain. Malti ki family bhi dekh rahi hai aur pura Hindustan dekh raha hai. Aapko aisa nahi bolna chahiye tha (You are so senior you’re even senior to me. Malti’s family is watching and the entire country is watching. You shouldn’t have said something like that.)”
He reminded her that such statements can deeply affect contestants and their families. Kunickaa listened quietly offering no defence. The atmosphere remained tense as the other housemates stayed silent absorbing the moment.
Where does this leave the contestants now?
With the finale closing in every word and every action inside the house is under a microscope. The comment has not only caused discomfort but has shifted dynamics within the group. Whether this incident will affect nominations voting patterns or alliances remains to be seen.
For now the show has once again proved that Bigg Boss is unpredictable sometimes messy sometimes uncomfortable but never dull.
