The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 left fans in disbelief as contestant Mridul Tiwari faced a shocking mid-week eviction following a surprise live audience voting round. The twist, introduced by host Salman Khan, allowed fans to directly cast votes inside the Bigg Boss house — a first for the season. While Gaurav Khanna and Shehbaz Badesha emerged as the top two vote-getters and became contenders for the next captaincy, Mridul received the fewest votes, leading to his sudden exit from the show.
The unexpected elimination has triggered massive backlash online, with viewers expressing outrage over what they called an “unfair and rushed decision.” Many social media users accused the makers of manipulating votes for drama, while others trended #JusticeForMridul on X (formerly Twitter). Mridul, who had built a strong fan base for his calm demeanor and straightforward gameplay, was widely considered a dark horse contender for the finale.
As Bigg Boss 19 inches closer to its grand finale, the tension inside the house continues to rise. With Gaurav Khanna and Shehbaz Badesha now competing for captaincy, fans are closely watching how alliances shift and rivalries deepen. The show’s new audience-interaction twist has added unpredictability to the format, keeping both contestants and viewers on edge
