Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar Under Fire: Fans Question Salman Khan’s Neutrality

Bigg Boss 19: The Weekend Ka Vaar Episode of Bigg Boss 19 sparked controversy with viewers. Many criticised Salman Khan’s apparent favoritism toward contestant Kunickaa Sadanand. This weekend’s episode has drawn comparisons with previous seasons, where bias accusations were made.
After a week of intense drama in the Bigg Boss 19 house, the expectations for Weekend Ka Vaar were particularly high. The episode did not meet viewer expectations. Many fans expressed disappointment at what they felt was unfair treatment by the host of the show.
Salman Khan praised Kunickaa for her leadership skills, calling her captain-like, even though she did not hold an official position. Salman Khan’s seemingly innocent appreciation turned into a full-blown defense of Kunickaa when he dismissed all criticisms, including those from her fellow housemates.
Salman Khan sparked a controversy when he addressed the issue of Gaurav Khanna. He had expressed privately to Ashneer Kaur that he preferred her as house captain over Kunickaa. Tanya Mittal shared the information later with Kunickaa and described it as “a serious heartbreak.” Salman Khan, in the Weekend Ka Vaar Episode, sided with Kunickaa and portrayed Gaurav as a disloyal person, while ignoring the fact that Kunickaa had betrayed Gaurav before.
The pattern of favouritism that has been displayed in Bigg Boss 19 is reminiscent of previous editions, especially in relation to the treatment given to Pooja in those earlier seasons. Since the first two seasons of the show, many viewers have complained that the show is biased towards some contestants. Recent seasons seemed to have addressed these concerns. However, now many fans believe that Salman Khan has taken on this controversial role. Kunickaa Sadanand is this season’s contestant who appears most protected.
This criticism goes beyond individual incidents and extends to a pattern of preferential treatment that, according to viewers, undermines the credibility and fairness of the show. Many viewers have expressed frustration on social media over perceived bias that affects the integrity of the competition.
Experts in the industry note that these controversies can generate significant buzz for reality shows. However, they may also alienate viewers with longstanding expectations of fairness. Bigg Boss franchise was previously criticised for similar reasons, but now the presence of the host adds another dimension to this debate.
