Bigg Boss new episode

Bigg Boss 19 is getting more and more interesting every day. The contestants have been locked in the Bigg Boss house for just five days, and they have already created havoc.

In the latest episode, the housemates voted for their favourite candidate during the captaincy challenge. During the task, they also got into some physical altercations, which really upset the audience.

Bigg Boss 19 Episode 5 started with Kunickaa Sadanand and Zeishan Quadri’s drama. Kunickaa was left disappointed with Zeishan Quadri for breaking her tiles and even gave him a shove. In response, Zeishan orders her to stop being physical.

Meanwhile, Tanya Mittal and Ashnoor Kaur were also at odds. Tanya attempts to undermine Ashnoor's performance on the task by playing strategically. Zeishan confronts Tanya for her actions and stands up for Ashnoor.

Tanya is also criticised by Amaal Mallik for her actions. Zeishan later apologises to Tanya Mittal for his loud outburst. With the intention of protecting Baseer, Kanickaa joins the effort.

Abhishek Bajaj and Baseer Ali were involved in a heated verbal argument. Nehal confronts Abhishek and takes Baseer's side. Baseer accused Abhishek of acting inappropriately toward him.

Finally, Tanya Mittal makes her choice public and appoints Kunickaa Sadanand as the first captain of the house. Tanya is criticised by many of her housemates for what they see as her partiality. Pranit More called out Tanya for her decision.

Kunickaa later acknowledges Ashnoor Kaur's efforts and celebrates the win.

Abhishek Bajaj’s breakdown

Abhishek Bajaj broke down in tears after he felt that Kunickaa was ignoring him. After being treated with contempt by her, he sobs in front of Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar as he remembers his mother. Awez and Nagma tried to calm him down during the emotional moment.

Task assigning drama

Baseer and Tanya then give Kunickaa instructions on duties. They conspired against Gaurav Khanna, Abhishek Bajaj, and other people. Zeishan Quadri, meanwhile, chooses to disobey her orders.

Abhishek disregards Kunickaa’s directives when delegating tasks. After initially refusing to cook or clean the dishes, Gaurav agrees to take care of the restroom. Zeishan also decides against doing the dishes.

App Room

The episode takes a dramatic turn after the Bigg Boss introduces the App Room twist. From the secret room, Farhana Bhatt received the power to decide who she wants to allow access to the app room.



She will have the power to determine whether or not he or she should stay in the house based on her decision.

Farhana was confused between Tanya and Gaurav. She then decided to pick Gaurav as Tanya might change her mind at the last minute.

Gaurav Khanna had access to the app room and was given the option of either half-ration or Farhana returning home. He chooses the latter.

Farhana Bhatt’s return

The houseguests were left surprised after Bigg Boss announced Farhana Bhatt’s return.

Soon after the return, Farhana confronted Baseer Ali for his comments against her. The duo were involved in a dramatic confrontation.

However, Farhana also confronted Amaal Mallik over his offensive remarks. She also gets into a heated argument with Pranit about his jokes.

The captain of the house, Kunickaa Sadanand, was later given access to the Appy Fizz refrigerator. Bigg Boss also gave her instructions to give one bottle to her favourite competitor. She picked Baseer Ali.

Abhishek, on the other hand, didn’t obey the orders and grabbed food from the kitchen and ate it while having fun.

Abhishek told Gaurav that he felt like he was stuck in a Kitchen maze. Gaurav agreed, stating that there is a lot of kitchen politics and that he was singled out yesterday but has since been able to avoid it.
