Bigg Boss 19 Day 5 Highlights: Drama, Emotions & Captaincy Showdowns

Day 5 inside the Bigg Boss 19 house was packed with drama, emotions, and strategy. From emotional
breakdowns to fiery clashes and the unveiling of the first captaincy tasks, the housemates
experienced shifting equations, rising tensions, and unexpected twists that kept the game intense.
The first captaincy task
The competition for the first captain of Bigg Boss 19 began with the Merry-Go-Round task, where
contestants had to rush to the merry-go-round and sing a nursery rhyme whenever the sound of
children was played, after which they entered designated “houses” that eliminated them from the
captaincy race. Adding a twist, Farhana, who was sent to the secret room on day one, used her special
power to remove Baseer from the task and took away his chance of becoming captain, citing that he
imposed his opinions and could be a strong contender. However, while he was out of the race, Baseer
was made the sanchalak, overseeing the task and ensuring rules were followed.
After, the planning and plotting of the contestants, Abhishek Bajaj, Kunickaa Sadanand and Ashnoor
Kaur emerged as the contenders of the Bigg Boss 19’s first captaincy.
Tanya gets emotional
Tanya broke down as she missed her mother and expressed feeling unappreciated for managing
household duties. She shared that despite putting in effort, she wasn’t complimented and often felt
misunderstood by her fellow housemates.
Gaurav’s Captaincy Preference Creates Rift
When Tanya questioned Gaurav on why, despite treating Kunickaa like a mother, he didn’t want her to
be captain, Gaurav confessed that his preference was Ashnoor. He explained that Ashnoor had a good
equation with both sides in the house, while he felt Kunickaa was too soft with everyone. This
conversation created a rift between Gaurav and Kunickaa. Kunickaa feels that Gaurav has backstabbed
her, by not coming to her proactively to tell his preference.
Zeishan confides in Abhishek
Abhishek told Zeishan that he isn’t influences by anyone. Zeishan told him about other setting a false
narrative about him, being aggressive. Later, Abhishek informed Awez and Nagma about this
conversation.
Abhishek and Nehal fight over food
A heated argument broke out between Nehal and Abhishek over food portions, during which Abhishek
mocked her by calling her “Kaleshi” and a “Fame Digger.” Later, in a conversation with Pranit, Nehal
shared with Baseer that while Gaurav stays calm when pointed out by him, he tends to pick fights with
her instead.
Amaal opens up about his Past Relationship
Amaal recalled a chapter from his past when he was about to go on stage, and just moments before,
his ex-girlfriend called, urging him to come over, saying that if he did, she would not go through with
her marriage. However, Amaal chose not to go, as his parents were against it. Later, he discovered that
she was unhappy in her marriage, as she was still emotionally attached to him.
Captaincy Task with Painted Tiles
Bigg Boss introduced a captaincy task where housemates had to paint tiles in support of their chosen
contender and hand them over, after which the contender would place the tiles on the stage. To add
a twist, contenders were allowed to flip the tiles of others so that their color was hidden. Bigg Boss
also gave them the option to pick representatives, through which Kunickaa chose Baseer to play on
her behalf, while Abhishek and Ashnoor decided to perform the task themselves. Tanya was appointed
as the sanchalak for this task.
