As Bigg Boss 19 inches closer to its explosive finale, the atmosphere inside the house — and outside — has reached an unprecedented level of tension. Following the back-to-back evictions of Shehbaz Badesha and Ashnoor Kaur, the reality show has now entered its final phase with its Top Six contestants officially confirmed:
Gaurav Khanna, Malti Chahar, Pranit More, Tanya Mittal, Farrhana Bhatt, and Amaal Mallik.
But it was not just the evictions that made headlines this week. A newly released promo has ignited massive buzz on social media as it shows one of the season’s strongest personalities, Gaurav Khanna, losing his composure during the intense media round. A reporter’s sharp allegation — calling him a “fox disguised in a lion’s skin” — triggered a heated response from the actor, leaving fans and housemates stunned.
With only a few days left before the Grand Finale on December 7, the drama is intensifying, allegiances are shifting, and the reality of public perception is hitting the contestants hard. Here’s a detailed, narrative-rich breakdown of everything that has unfolded, why the media round turned chaotic, and what awaits the finalists as they race toward the trophy.
A High-Stakes Week in Bigg Boss 19
The journey toward the finale took a dramatic turn as two contestants—once considered strong players—were evicted within hours of each other.
Ashnoor Kaur’s Shocking Exit
In one of the most unexpected moments of the season, Ashnoor Kaur, who entered the show with a massive fan following and a promising start, was evicted for physical violence. During a heated task, she was seen intentionally striking fellow contestant Tanya Mittal with a wooden plank. The housemates were in disbelief, but what followed was even more shocking—Salman Khan’s stern reprimand during the Weekend Ka Vaar and her immediate expulsion.
This has divided social media users into two camps:
- Those who believe the decision was justified
- Those who feel the punishment was disproportionate
Either way, Ashnoor’s abrupt exit has left an emotional vacuum inside the house.
Shehbaz Badesha Evicted Due to Low Votes
After Ashnoor’s exit, Shehbaz Badesha—brother of late Punjabi sensation Sidhu Moosewala—became the next to leave the house. Despite his humorous personality and loyal fanbase, Shehbaz could not secure sufficient votes to stay in the game.
His exit left Amaal Mallik, one of his closest friends inside the house, visibly emotional. Amaal, known for his calm and composed demeanour, broke down on-screen, proving just how strong the bonds inside the house have grown.
The double eviction shook the house to its core, leaving only six players competing for the title.
Media Round Turns Explosive: Gaurav Khanna Loses His Cool
Bigg Boss is known for testing contestants’ patience — not just through tasks but also through the grilling media round, introduced in earlier seasons to test housemates’ ability to handle criticism, pressure, and public perception.
This season’s media interaction proved especially fiery.
Media Takes Aim at Farrhana Bhatt
One of the journalists questioned Farrhana directly:
“Have you always been this ill-mannered, or is it just inside the Bigg Boss house?”
A visibly unfazed Farrhana gave a bold and unapologetic answer:
“It’s a part of my personality. I don’t pretend.”
This response has received mixed reactions — some viewers admire her honesty, while others feel she’s misreading public sentiment.
Amaal Mallik Accused of Physical Threats
Another reporter addressed the controversies surrounding Amaal Mallik, confronting him about allegedly threatening housemates during heated arguments.
Given the seriousness of physical intimidation inside the house, this confrontation added more fuel to the drama.
But amidst all this, the moment that stole the spotlight involved Gaurav Khanna.
“Aisi Lomdi Jo Sher Ke Khaal Mein Hai” — The Comment That Triggered Gaurav
One of the journalists made a very pointed accusation:
“Aap aisi lomdi hain jo sher ke khaal mein hai.”
(You are a fox disguised in a lion’s skin.”)
This stinging remark implied that Gaurav is manipulative and pretends to be courageous while planning and plotting behind a façade of leadership.
For a contestant known for his controlled behaviour and calm persona, this comment hit a sensitive nerve.
Gaurav’s Reaction
In the promo, Gaurav reacts with visible frustration and intensity. For the first time this season, viewers saw him lose his composure.
His response was sharp:
“One can win Bigg Boss without abusing others or stooping low.”
Gaurav argued that strategy and intelligence should not be mistaken for manipulation or deceit. He insisted that he has played a dignified, abuse-free game — something that should be appreciated, not criticized.
This outburst has caused a massive stir among fans. While many support him, calling the media comment unnecessarily harsh, others feel that the pressure of nearing the finale is bringing out his true colours.
Whatever the truth may be, one thing is clear: Gaurav’s clash with the media has become one of the defining moments of Bigg Boss 19.

Weekend Ka Vaar Recap: Salman Khan Drops the Hammer
The last Weekend Ka Vaar before the finale was one of the most impactful episodes of the season. Salman Khan did not hold back as he addressed incidents that threatened the spirit of the game.
Ashnoor’s Violence Addressed
Salman clearly stated that the show has zero tolerance for physical aggression. Ashnoor’s action—hitting Tanya with a wooden plank—was not something that could be overlooked or justified by “heat of the moment” reasoning.
Emotional Farewell for Shehbaz
Shehbaz’s exit left Amaal tearing up. Salman consoled him, reminding him that Bigg Boss is a test of emotional resilience as much as it is of physical and mental strength.
As manipulations and alliances collapse under the weight of the finale, this final Weekend Ka Vaar will be remembered for its raw emotional intensity.
Finale Preparations Underway: Who Will Lift the Trophy on December 7?
With just days left until the Grand Finale, speculation is at an all-time high. Bigg Boss will crown one of the six contestants as the winner.
Audience Trends So Far
Although voting patterns shift week to week, the overall trends on fan polls hint at three frontrunners:
- Gaurav Khanna
- Amaal Mallik
- Malti Chahar
But Bigg Boss finales are unpredictable. Silent players often emerge as surprise winners, and unexpected twists can change outcomes overnight.
What Makes the Media Round Such a Tough Battle?
The media round has been one of the most anticipated segments of Bigg Boss for years. It puts contestants in a real-world scenario where they face:
- Tough questions
- Harsh criticism
- Direct accusations
- Misconceptions from outside
- Perception gaps
- Reality checks
- Pressure to defend their behaviour
Unlike tasks where strategy matters, or Weekend Ka Vaar where Salman guides them, the media round is raw and unscripted. Contestants must face the consequences of their actions with clarity and composure.
This season’s questioning was particularly intense, reflecting the dramatic nature of the show’s 19th edition.
Why Gaurav’s Reaction Became the Talking Point of the Week
Throughout the season, Gaurav Khanna has maintained a:
- calm
- strategic
- silent-leader
- high-ethics
- low-abuse
persona.
But the “sher ki khaal mein lomdi” remark accused him of being:
- deceptive
- manipulative
- two-faced
- overly calculative
This was the first time we saw him emotionally shaken. And precisely because this was so uncharacteristic of him, the moment exploded online.
Social Media Reactions
Fans are divided:
Team Gaurav:
- “He has kept his integrity intact. The comment was too personal.”
- “Gaurav deserves the trophy. He’s played with dignity.”
- “He’s right — you don’t need to abuse to win Bigg Boss.”
Critics:
- “He cracked under pressure.”
- “This is the real Gaurav, not the calm mask he shows.”
- “Fox or lion? The finale will decide.”
The debate is only getting louder as finale night approaches.
A Finale Worth Looking Forward To
The top six contestants are gearing up for:
- final tasks
- alliances breaking
- new rivalries
- individual pitches
- emotional breakdowns
- surprises from Bigg Boss
- celebrity guests
- fan voting wars
With the Grand Finale scheduled for December 7, viewers are excited to see who ultimately walks away with the trophy, cash prize, and the title of Bigg Boss 19 Winner.
