Twists
  • On Day 0, Bigg Boss introduced a task requiring housemates to select one person to sleep outside the bedroom, which has only 15 beds, on the basis of considering that housemate "not a housemate." Mridul was voted by the majority.
  • On Day 1, the Assembly Room was inaugurated, where housemates voted to evict one contestant, leading to Farhana's elimination and relocation to a secret room. [22] [23]
  • On Day 6, Bigg Boss unveiled a new “App Room” in the house, accessible each week to the housemate trending most on the JioHotstar 24x7 public chat. The selected housemate receives two apps based on whether their trending is positive or negative. As Farhana had been observing housemates from the secret room since Day 1, Bigg Boss allowed her to choose one housemate to access the App Room, with the condition that her re-entry into the main house depended on that housemate's app choice. Farhana selected Gaurav, who was granted access. His options were: “Re-entry: Farhana Returns,” allowing Farhana to rejoin the main house, or “Half Ration, Half Plates,” reducing the house's ration to half. Gaurav chose “Re-entry: Farhana Returns,” resulting in Farhana's return to the main house from the secret room. Prior to this, Bigg Boss announced Farhana's presence in the secret room, revealing her actions, including comments on nominations on Day 2, eliminating Baseer from the Merry-Go-Round captaincy contendership task on Day 4, and selecting Gaurav for App Room access.

Tasks

On Day 4, the "Merry-Go-Round" task was held in the garden area to select contenders for the house captain. A merry-go-round was set up alongside four houses, each with a digital screen. Before the task began, Bigg Boss asked Farhana, observing from the secret room, to remove one housemate from contention. She chose Baseer, who was then appointed as the sanchalak (moderator) for the first round. When a children's laughter was heard, housemates mounted the merry-go-round, which rotated until the song stopped. The digital screens on the four houses then displayed the number of housemates each could accommodate. After the first round, Baseer selected one house, and its occupants were eliminated from captaincy contention. Eliminated housemates joined Baseer to decide eliminations in subsequent rounds. The task continued similarly, with multiple rounds narrowing down the contenders. After five rounds, Ashnoor Kaur, Kunickaa Sadanand, and Abhishek Bajaj emerged as the final contenders.

On Day 5, a captaincy task was held in the garden area to determine the first house captain. A large stage was set up with three workstations, each assigned to a contender: Abhishek (blue color), Ashnoor (green color), and Kunickaa (red color), as designated by the sanchalak. Each workstation had crayons in the contender's assigned color. Supporter housemates selected a tile from a deck, colored one side with their contender's color, and marked the other side with a coal cross. They handed the tile to their contender (or their representative), who placed it on the stage. Other contenders could flip opponents’ tiles to display the crossed side. Bigg Boss asked the contenders if they would personally place tiles on the stage or appoint a representative. Abhishek and Ashnoor chose to participate themselves, while Kunickaa selected Baseer as her representative, which disqualified her from participating in task. Tanya was appointed sanchalak, tasked with determining the winner based on the contender with the most tiles showing their colored side (blue for Abhishek, green for Ashnoor, red for Kunickaa) visible on the stage. Tanya declared Kunickaa the winner, making her the first house captain.

SponsoredOn Day 6, Appy Fizz congratulated Kunickaa as the first Appy Fizz Captain of the house. An Appy Fizz Visi Cooler was unlocked, and Kunickaa received one bottle of Appy Fizz, choosing to share a second bottle with Baseer.

Week 2
EntrancesOn Day 14, Shehbaz Badesha entered the Bigg Boss 19 house as the first wild card contestant during the Weekend Ka Vaar, supported by his sister Shehnaaz Gill's appearance on stage.

  • On Day 9, Bigg Boss dismissed Kunickaa as house captain after housemates voted against her leadership, citing her failure. Bigg Boss declared no new captain, with the house to be managed collectively.After Kunickaa's dismissal, housemates declined to grant her captaincy immunity, making her eligible for nominations. The majority voted for Ashnoor to receive immunity from the week's nominations.
  • On Day 11, Bigg Boss summoned all housemates to the Assembly Room for a Truth and Dare game, focusing on Pranit More's Day 10 The BB Show roast, where he claimed his performance was 90% truth and 10% exaggeration. Bigg Boss highlighted Pranit's statement that the house no longer needed gas to prepare food but required a stove due to “so much kerosene with Zeishan,” questioning whether this was 90% truth or 10% exaggeration. Housemates were asked to share their opinions on the statement, with a question displayed on the TV: “Does Zeishan do the work of kerosene in the house—meaning, does he ignite conflicts or situations?” Bigg Boss instructed housemates to debate, stating that if the outcome favored Pranit, he would remain in the captaincy race and Zeishan would be excluded, but if it favored Zeishan, Pranit would be excluded. After the debate, the verdict favored Zeishan, resulting in Pranit being removed from the captaincy race.
  • On Day 14, the App Room was opened for housemates voted by the audience for their BB Show performances as the most trending on JioHotstar's 24x7 public chat. Kunickaa accessed it first, choosing between “Suraksha Kawach Block Eviction” (protects a nominated housemate from eviction despite least votes) and “Battery Saver No Duty” (exempts from house duties). She chose “Suraksha Kawach Block Eviction.” Mridul Tiwari accessed it next, choosing between “Gift A Rose Phoolon Ka Tohfa” (receives roses to gift to one housemate) and “Suraksha Kawach Block Eviction,” selecting the latter. During the eviction process, host Salman Khan announced Kunickaa received the least votes but was saved due to her “Suraksha Kawach Block Eviction” choice, resulting in no eviction.
  • On Day 14, after Shehbaz's wild card entry into the house, Bigg Boss announced that the bed sealed during the Dream Machine task on Day 10 would be available for Shehbaz, as he was not in the house at the time of the task. Shehbaz can use the bed, but no other housemate is allowed to.
Nominations
On Day 9, Bigg Boss introduced the “Room of Fate” nomination task. Housemates were divided into trios, with three standing in red triangles, indicating they were at risk of nomination, while three others in green triangles decided which one of the red triangle trio would be nominated. At the end of each round, one housemate was nominated. Housemates could participate multiple times in green triangles to decide nominations.

House CaptainKunickaa
TasksThe BB Show

On Day 10, Bigg Boss addressed housemates’ concerns about dwindling rations, announcing that weekly rations would be provided by evening, contingent on their participation in an entertainment task called the “The BB Show.” The show, hosted by Zeishan, featured performances by few housemates to secure rations. Neelam opened with a dance act, followed by Amaal performing a dislike song targeting two housemates he dislikes. Pranit performed a stand-up comedy roast focusing on five housemates he dislikes. Mridul, alongside Kunickaa as co-actor, presented a sketch based on one or two housemates he dislikes. Tanya delivered a talk on struggles, reflecting on her personal experiences with house and its current housemates. Awez closed the show with a dance performance. Later, Bigg Boss called Gaurav to the confession room to judge the performances based on criteria provided by Bigg Boss, with live footage broadcast to housemates in the living area, unbeknownst to Gaurav. Gaurav passed the performances of Amaal, Pranit, and Tanya, but failed Mridul and Kunickaa's sketch. As a result, 10% of the weekly ration was cut, and the housemates received 90% of the ration.

Dream Machine

On Day 11, Bigg Boss introduced the “Dream Machine” task in the garden area, designed to grant captaincy contention in one attempt by activating a lever on the machine. However, following the rule of “one hand gives, one hand takes,” housemates had to accept a condition displayed on the machine's digital screen to secure contention. All housemates, except Pranit (who was excluded from the captaincy race earlier that day), stood at a start line. At the sound of the machine's start signal, housemates could accept the displayed condition and rush to a red circle, which granted the power to claim captaincy contention. The first housemate to reach the red circle would declare their desire for captaincy contention and accept the condition. Bigg Boss would then call them to activate the machine's lever, sealing their captaincy contention. Pranit, as sanchalak, was tasked with determining which housemate reached the red circle first.

Nehal reached the red circle in the third round but declined the gym closure condition. Bigg Boss reprimanded her for misleading viewers by reaching the circle only to decline, canceled the third round, and terminated the task, stating more rounds were planned. Consequently, Baseer and Abhishek were declared captaincy contenders.

On Day 12, a captaincy task was set up in the garden area to determine the house captain between contenders Baseer and Abhishek. Fourteen stools, each in a designated circle, were placed with colored threads—blue for Baseer and pink for Abhishek—at opposite ends. Housemates sat on the stools while Baseer and Abhishek first collected their respective threads, then aimed to tie them to one leg of as many stools as possible. During the task, the opposing contender and the housemate seated on a stool could attempt to untie the thread. At the task's conclusion, Bigg Boss asked Mridul for the result, who announced Baseer as the winner, having tied blue threads to more stools, making him the house captain.

Week 3
TwistsOn Day 19, Bigg Boss called all housemates to the Assembly Room and announced that Baseer's tenure as house captain had ended. A new captain was to be chosen from the BB Sports Day task winning team members: Awez, Pranit, Abhishek, Mridul, Amaal, Tanya, Farhana, and Ashnoor. Each contender delivered a speech from the podium explaining why they should be captain, followed by a housemate vote. Amaal received the majority and was chosen as house captain.
NominationsOn Day 16, Bigg Boss called house captain Baseer to the confession room and asked him to save one female housemate from nominations, citing the higher number of female housemates compared to males. Baseer chose Nehal, granting her immunity from nominations. Shehbaz was exempted from nominations as it was his first week in the house. Bigg Boss announced a nomination task where housemates were paired (one male, one female) by Bigg Boss to count exactly 19 minutes. The male sat on a sidecar scooter in the garden area, pressing a horn to signal completion, while the female sat at a makeup station in the Activity Area, pressing a buzzer. Other housemates could disturb both simultaneously, one at a time. Pairs furthest from 19 minutes (either less or more) were nominated. During Awez and Nagma's counting, Abhishek entered the Activity Area to disturb Nagma but closed the area, blocking others’ access. Bigg Boss disqualified Awez and Nagma's pair for this interference, nominating them for eviction.

BB Sports Day

On Day 18, the “BB Sports Day” task began in the garden area for captaincy contendership, featuring two teams: Team Red (Abhishek, Amaal, Awez, Pranit, Tanya, Mridul, Ashnoor, Farhana) and Team Blue (Baseer, Neelam, Zeishan, Kunickaa, Gaurav, Shehbaz, Natalia, Nehal, Nagma). The best-of-three games determined which team's members would be eligible for captaincy. The first game, “Writer and Duster,” involved two blackboards per team. Each team nominated a writer to write on the opposing team's blackboard (reasons why the other team didn't deserve captaincy) and a duster to erase their own. Team Red (Abhishek as writer, Amaal as duster) and Team Blue (Nehal as writer, Baseer as duster) competed, with Awez and Nagma as sanchalaks. Team Red won, as their blackboard had less writing, leading 1-0. The task paused for the day. On Day 19, the BB Sports Day task continued with the second game, “Scrabble.” Each team nominated five players: Team Red (Ashnoor, Farhana, Tanya, Mridul, Awez) and Team Blue (Nagma, Shehbaz, Neelam, Baseer, Zeishan). Players stood at their team's start line, answered a Bigg Boss question (a housemate's name), retrieved clothing with alphabets from their team's container, and aligned on an answer board to display the first five letters of the name. Sanchalaks Amaal and Gaurav judged which team aligned first and validated their reason for the name. If a team's reason was invalid, the sanchalaks validated the next team's reason; if valid, the point went to that team, or the round was canceled if invalid. The first team to win four rounds won the game. Team Red won 4-2, securing the overall task victory (2-0), making Abhishek, Amaal, Awez, Pranit, Tanya, Mridul, Ashnoor, and Farhana eligible for captaincy.

Winner – Team Red: Abhishek, Amaal, Awez, Pranit, Tanya, Mridul, Ashnoor, Farhana
Failed – Team Blue: Baseer, Neelam, Zeishan, Kunickaa, Gaurav, Shehbaz, Natalia, Nehal, Nagma

  • On Day 21, host Salman Khan unveiled the OPPO F31 Series 5G mobile phones, set to launch on September 15, 2025. Guest host Akshay Kumar gifted the phones to all housemates in the house before their official launch, assuring them they would receive the devices after their exit from the show.
ExitsOn Day 21, Natalia Janoszek and Nagma Mirajkar became first and second housemates to get evicted.
Week 4
TwistsOn Day 26, Bigg Boss called all housemates to the Assembly Room to evaluate house captain Amaal Mallik's captaincy and style. The majority of housemates voted in favor of Amaal's leadership. As a result, Bigg Boss announced that outgoing captain Amaal would have the opportunity to defend his captaincy and be a captaincy contender alongside Zeishan, Abhishek, Mridul, Tanya, Ashnoor, Neelam, Shehbaz.
NominationsOn Day 24, Bigg Boss called housemates to the Assembly Room for nominations, where each had to rapidly nominate two housemates without giving reasons. After nominations, Bigg Boss revealed a rule violation involving nomination discussions, showing footage to the housemates. All housemates except Captain Amaal were at risk of full nomination. Bigg Boss introduced a twist, aligning with the season's democracy theme, allowing housemates uninvolved in the discussions to seek safety. Each housemate was called to the confession room to name two housemates they wanted to save from nominations. Amaal, involved in the discussions, had no special power in this process. After the process, Nehal, Ashnoor, and Pranit (each with 1 save vote) and Baseer and Abhishek (with 0 save votes) were nominated for weekend's eviction process.
House CaptainAmaal
TasksOn Day 25, a captaincy contendership task was held in the garden area, where teams competed to steal captaincy contendership, represented by gold biscuits locked in a ship that turned over in the swimming pool. Two teams were formed: Team A (Zeishan, Abhishek, Mridul, Tanya, Ashnoor, Neelam, Shehbaz) and Team B (Baseer, Gaurav, Nehal, Awez, Pranit, Kunickaa, Farhana). The task required teams to collect gold biscuits and sacks falling into the pool and fill their godown with sacks containing 15 biscuits each. The team with the most filled sacks would win, making their members eligible for captaincy. Amaal was the sanchalak. Three members per team participated at a time: one in the pool collecting biscuits and sacks after a gun sound, and two filling their godown, stealing from other godown, and protecting their godown. After a “chai garam chai” signal, teams could change members if desired. At the conclusion of the task, sanchalak Amaal declared Team A as the winner for filling the most sacks with gold biscuits. Consequently, Team A's members—Zeishan, Abhishek, Mridul, Tanya, Ashnoor, Neelam, and Shehbaz—became captaincy contenders.
Winner – Team A: Zeishan, Abhishek, Mridul, Tanya, Ashnoor, Neelam, Shehbaz
Failed – Team B: Baseer, Gaurav, Nehal, Awez, Pranit, Kunickaa, Farhana

On Day 27, Bigg Boss announced that Amaal's captaincy tenure had ended. A captaincy task was held in the garden area involving contenders Zeishan, Tanya, Abhishek, Ashnoor, Neelam, Shehbaz, Mridul, and Amaal. The task centered around a large cheese prop with eight openings, symbolizing captaincy. After the song “Dil Cheez Kya Hai” played, contenders lined up at a start point. A non-contending housemate selected a stopper, announced they would block one opening, and entered the cheese to do so. At a gunshot sound, contenders ran to the cheese, each attempting to secure an opening and put their face through it. The contender failing to secure an opening was eliminated from the task and captaincy race. Seven rounds were conducted, with Kunickaa judging via a plasma screen.

Week 5
Twists
  • On Day 31, Bigg Boss questioned Nehal, who was in the secret room, about house dynamics. The first question asked which female housemate Nehal would give a major advantage to for captaincy contendership, given there were more male housemates. Nehal chose Farhana. The second question asked whether Nehal viewed house captain Abhishek as "good" or "nonsense." Nehal answered "nonsense." Bigg Boss declared that Nehal's opinion would influence the house, stating that while Abhishek, as captain, would gain access to the App Room, his "nonsense" label meant he would only receive "nonsense apps" as powers associated with his captaincy.
  • On Day 31, Bigg Boss called house captain Abhishek to the App Room, granting him exclusive access to special apps as a captain's privilege. He was offered the ability to give one female housemate a major advantage in captaincy contendership with the following options: (1) Advantage Ashnoor, giving Ashnoor a major advantage but reducing the house's weekly ration to 75%; (2) Advantage Farhana, giving Farhana a major advantage but ending Abhishek's captaincy immediately and barring him from captaincy for two weeks; (3) Advantage Neelam, giving Neelam a major advantage but barring Awez from ever becoming captain; (4) Advantage Tanya, giving Tanya a major advantage but barring Gaurav from ever becoming captain; (5) Advantage Kunickaa, giving Kunickaa a major advantage but requiring Abhishek to destroy Ashnoor's favorite soft toy in front of her. Abhishek chose Advantage Ashnoor, granting her a major advantage in captaincy contendership, with the house receiving 75% of the weekly ration. Bigg Boss later revealed these details to all housemates.
  • On Day 32, Bigg Boss called all housemates to the Assembly Room to share their opinions on house captain Abhishek's captaincy, asking whether they were happy or unhappy with his performance. The majority of housemates voted that they were happy with Abhishek's captaincy. As a result, Bigg Boss announced that Abhishek would receive a full opportunity to gain captaincy contendership and the chance to become house captain again.
  • On Day 32, Bigg Boss consulted Nehal, in the secret room, about key decisions for a captaincy contendership task. Bigg Boss announced a task with three rounds, where in each round, one housemate would have the power to eliminate four housemates from captaincy contendership. Ashnoor and Farhana, already designated as sanchalaks for the task, could not be getting power. For the first round, Nehal was asked to choose which housemate should receive this elimination power. She selected Awez. For the second round, she selected Kunickaa. In the third round, with only Awez and Gaurav remaining, Bigg Boss asked Nehal to choose a captaincy contender. She selected Gaurav, making him and Farhana the final captaincy contenders. Bigg Boss then announced that Nehal would re-enter the house and later in a day she re-entered the house.
  • On Day 33, Bigg Boss called all housemates to the Assembly Room to choose the house captain between Farhana and Gaurav. Housemates came to the podium one by one, where both contenders stood, and placed a black garland on the contender they did not want as captain. Gaurav received 7 black garlands, while Farhana received 6. As a result, Farhana won and became the house captain.
NominationsOn Day 30, Bigg Boss announced a team-based nomination task in the Assembly Room, with two teams competing; the losing team's members would be nominated for eviction. Team Pranit (Pranit, Mridul, Awez, Neelam, Gaurav, Ashnoor) was led by Pranit, and Team Shehbaz (Shehbaz, Kunickaa, Tanya, Farhana, Zeishan, Amaal, Baseer) was led by Shehbaz. The task required teams to provide commentary on live house activities in the commentary room set up in the Activity Area. A blue light signaled Team Pranit's turn, with Pranit choosing a partner to commentate on silent live footage shown on a TV. A red light signaled Team Shehbaz's turn, with Shehbaz choosing a partner. Three rounds were held where Pranit chose to partner with Neelam, Gaurav and Mridul whereas Shehbaz chose to partner with Amaal, Zeishan and Farhana, with Abhishek, the house captain, exempt from nominations and not participating. The 24x7 live audience was to judge, but Bigg Boss assigned Nehal, watching from the secret room, to decide the outcome. Nehal declared Team Shehbaz the winner, resulting in Team Pranit's members—Pranit, Mridul, Awez, Neelam, Gaurav, and Ashnoor—being nominated for eviction.
House CaptainAbhishek
TasksOn Day 31, Bigg Boss set up a captaincy contendership task for two female housemates, Ashnoor (selected by captain Abhishek in the App Room) and Farhana (selected by Nehal in the secret room, announced via a spin wheel on plasma). Cartons of rations (75% of the weekly ration, per Abhishek's App Room choice) were spread across the house, excluding the bathroom area. The task involved two drones, each by Ashnoor and Farhana, delivering cartons to either the house godown (near the tunnel) for the house's weekly ration or the Bigg Boss godown set in store room (divided into Ashnoor's and Farhana's zones) for return to Bigg Boss. Other housemates decided whether to hand cartons to the any of the drones. At the buzzer of task end, undelivered cartons would be captured by Bigg Boss. The drone delivering the most cartons to their store room zone would earn captaincy contendership. Housemates were restricted to their areas during the task, but drones could move freely. After the task, Bigg Boss asked Baseer to report the count of cartons in each drone's store room zone. Baseer announced Ashnoor delivered five cartons and Farhana delivered seven. Farhana, having delivered more, won captaincy contendership. Bigg Boss confirmed that only cartons in the house godown would serve as the house's weekly ration.
Winner – Farhana
Failed – Ashnoor
On Day 32, Bigg Boss announced that Farhana had defeated Ashnoor in the Day 31 drone task, securing captaincy contendership for the week, while Ashnoor lost her chance for captaincy contendership. Bigg Boss introduced a new task, consisting of three parties to determine further captaincy contenders. In each party, some housemates would be eliminated from contendership, with the elimination process to be revealed during the parties. The first party in bedroom area, a pyjama party, required housemates to dance and enjoy songs when played. When the music stopped, each housemate had to sit on a bed. Bigg Boss then announced that a party requires photos, designating Awez as the photographer. A camera was provided in the storeroom for Awez to take 10 photos. Housemates had to remain seated on their beds, unable to hide or dodge the photographer. Sanchalaks Ashnoor and Farhana, judging together, would identify the four housemates most clearly visible in the photos, who would then be eliminated from the captaincy contendership race. The challenge was that Awez had to wear party glasses, rendering him unable to see, requiring assistance from housemates on beds to navigate. After Awez clicked 10 photos, sanchalaks Ashnoor and Farhana declared that Zeishan, Baseer, Amaal, and Tanya were the most visible in the photos, eliminating them from the captaincy contendership race. The first party then concluded. Bigg Boss continued the captaincy contendership task with the second third party in the garden area. The second party, a disco party, involved remaining contenders Abhishek, Pranit, Gaurav, Kunickaa, Mridul, Neelam, Awez, and Shehbaz. Housemates danced to music and sat on chairs when it stopped. Bigg Boss named Kunickaa as the photographer, tasked with taking 10 photos using a camera from the storeroom while wearing vision-obscuring party glasses, requiring assistance from housemates on chairs. Sanchalaks Ashnoor and Farhana identified Neelam, Pranit, Shehbaz, and Mridul as the most visible in the photos, eliminating them from the captaincy contendership race. The second party concluded. The third party, Bigg Boss Movie Night, was held in a movie theatre setup in the Activity Area for remaining contenders Kunickaa, Gaurav, Abhishek, and Awez. Real house footage was shown, requiring close attention. After each movie, Bigg Boss asked a question, and contenders pressed buzzers to answer first. Correct answers allowed eliminating one housemate from the captaincy race. Ashnoor was the sanchalak for the first buzzer, Farhana for the second. The first movie showed house discussions about the external world, followed by the question, “Which color dress was Tanya wearing in this clip?” Ashnoor declared Abhishek pressed the buzzer first; he answered “pink,” which was correct, and eliminated Kunickaa. The second movie led to the question, “Who was the fourth member alongside Baseer, Zeishan, and Amaal in the cli[?” Farhana declared Gaurav pressed first; he answered “Shehbaz,” which was correct, and eliminated Abhishek. For the final movie, Bigg Boss revealed Nehal as the task judge, who had previously decided Team Pranit's nomination loss, given Farhana a captaincy contendership advantage, assigned nonsense apps to captain Abhishek, and selected Awez and Kunickaa as photographers for parties. Bigg Boss asked Nehal, from the secret room, to choose between Gaurav and Awez for captaincy contendership. Nehal chose Gaurav. Bigg Boss declared Farhana and Gaurav as the final captaincy contenders.
Winner – Gaurav
Failed – Zeishan, Baseer, Amaal, Tanya, Neelam, Pranit, Shehbaz, Mridul, Kuncikaa, Abhishek, Awez
ExitsOn Day 21, Awez Darbar became third housemate to get evicted.
Week 6
EntrancesOn Day 42, Malti Chahar entered the Bigg Boss 19 house as the second wild card contestant during the Weekend Ka Vaar, supported by her brother Deepak Chahar's appearance on stage.
TwistsOn Day 38, Bigg Boss summoned all housemates to the Assembly Room, directing Captain Farhana to a rankings board. Bigg Boss stated that, given housemates’ opinions about Farhana's captaincy had been heard, it was time for Farhana's candid opinions about housemates to be expressed. Farhana was tasked with ranking housemates based on their eligibility in the show after five weeks, using a scale from 20 (highest) to -10 (lowest). Farhana assigned: Mridul (-10), Neelam (-8), Gaurav (-3), Ashnoor (-1), Pranit (0), Amaal (2), Kunickaa (5), Tanya (8), Zeishan (10), Baseer (13), Nehal (15), Abhishek (17), Shehbaz (20). Bigg Boss instructed housemates to take the rankings board out of the Assembly Room for display.

Later on Day 38, Bigg Boss called housemates to the garden area to stand in a line for a ration shopping task based on Farhana's rankings. The store room was transformed into a BB Store House containing dummy sacks of ration items. Housemates, called one by one by Bigg Boss, picked sacks corresponding to their rank (e.g., a rank of 20 allowed 20 sacks). They placed sacks in the BB godown near the tunnel and then proceeded to the bedroom. Housemates with negative ranks (e.g., Mridul with -10) had to return that number of sacks from the BB godown to the store room. The sacks remaining in the BB godown would constitute the weekly ration. Captain Farhana remained in the bedroom during the task, while Pranit, ranked 0, stayed in the garden to ensure no ration-related discussions occurred among housemates there.

NominationsOn Day 37, Bigg Boss called housemates to the garden area, transformed into a vast sea with a dinghy for each housemate positioned in front of a missile launcher submarine. The task required housemates to nominate others by firing missiles at their dinghies; a dinghy hit by three missiles would "sink" by getting blasted, nominating that housemate for eviction. Captain Farhana's dinghy was absent, granting her immunity. Bigg Boss called Farhana first, giving her the power to directly nominate one housemate. She chose Ashnoor, making Ashnoor directly nominated. Each housemate then nominated two others by firing missiles via the radiophone, announcing their choices. At the end, Ashnoor, Tanya, Amaal, Neelam, Zeishan, Kunickaa, Nehal, and Pranit were nominated for eviction. [26] [27]
House CaptainFarhana
TasksBB Dino Park

On Day 39, the garden area was transformed into BB Dino Park, featuring a bad dinosaur that, when angry, consumed small dinosaurs representing housemates’ captaincy chances. These small dinosaurs were kept in an enclosure in front of the bad dinosaur, and as long as a housemate's dinosaur remained, they were eligible for captaincy. A caretaker, appointed per round, was tasked with keeping the bad dinosaur happy through unique interactions. Two cages, Rajasaurus and Raniraptor, housed non-caretaker housemates. At the start of each round, Bigg Boss announced the round and caretaker. After the “BB Dino is now open” sound, housemates (except the caretaker) entered their chosen cage based on capacity. When the dinosaur's angry roar sounded, indicating hunger, the caretaker opened one cage and struck a gong. Housemates from the opened cage could then race to cross a boundary around the cage, with the first to cross, as decided by the caretaker, earning the right to feed two small dinosaurs from the enclosure to the bad dinosaur, eliminating those housemates from captaincy contention. Eliminated housemates could still participate in subsequent rounds to eliminate others. Three rounds were completed on Day 39. On Day 40, the BB Dino Park task continued with the same rules, except the bad dinosaur, now “health-conscious” due to overeating, could only consume one small dinosaur per round instead of two. During the third round, housemates disrupted the task and violated Bigg Boss rules by not wearing mics and making demands. Bigg Boss reprimanded them, canceled the task, and declared Farhana, the previous week's captain, as captain again.

Week 7
Twists
NominationsOn Day 44, Bigg Boss narrated a story to housemates about two rival families of kids: Family 1 (Amaal, Shehbaz, Tanya, Abhishek, Kunickaa, Nehal, Gaurav) and Family 2 (Neelam, Zeishan, Ashnoor, Pranit, Baseer, Mridul). They shared a haunted playground, competing and highlighting each other’s weaknesses for eviction nominations. The playground was overseen by two witches—house captain Farhana, immune from eviction, and wild card Malti, exempt as a recent entrant—who swayed on a swing attached to a tree, wearing costumes. When a witch’s laugh signaled hunger, one kid from each family pleaded their case, naming an opposing family member for the witch to “eat.” The witch then chose a kid, took them on a broom along a pathway, and pushed them into the swimming pool (the witch’s “frying pan”). Five rounds were held, with Malti eating a kid in rounds 1, 3, and 5, and Farhana in rounds 2 and 4. Three kids from each family played per round, but witches could choose any family member. The family with the most kids eaten would be fully nominated, while the other remained safe.

Reception

The Bigg Boss 19 grand premiere on 24 August 2025 received positive feedback for its high-energy launch, Salman Khan's hosting, and diverse contestant lineup, as reported by Zee News and Times of India. The “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar” theme, enabling housemate decision-making, and the digital-first streaming on JioHotstar at 21:00 IST were highlighted as innovative. [6] Media outlets noted Khan's witty banter, the vibrant house design with a lion statue and “rangbhoomi” outdoor area, and performances like Ashnoor Kaur's dance and Amaal Mallik's soulful rendition. [17] [37] [38] [39]
