The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 was an intense one with the entire house going against Gaurav Khanna as he became the captain of the house by nominating the entire house and sacrificing the weekly ration. However, the controversial part of the episode was when
Kunickaa Sadanand was seen discussing Malti Chahar's sexuality with Tanya Mittal.
After the sponsor task, Tanya was seen discussing Malti's behaviour with Kunickaa Sadanand. She shared that she was upset with Malti because she tried to hit her with a plate while tasting the chaat made during the task. Tanya expressed her anger and told how she reprimanded Malti for the same. Kunickaa walked towards Tanya and shared that she is confident, Malti is a lesbian. Kunickaa whispered, "Ek cheez bolna hai, toh aisa hai ye joh Malti madam na, I'm fully sure that she is a lesbian. Her postures also look like that and the way she keeps saying things. Notice this haan."
Tanya was taken aback and she did not react to the comment.
Viewers are not happy with Kunickaa's remark and for commenting about Malti's sexuality. A user wrote, "#KunickaaSadanand casually declaring Malti ‘lesbian’ on national TV is straight-up disgusting. Ages par comment ho toh victim mode, par dusron ki sexuality pe ‘expert’ ban jaati hai? This isn’t empowerment, this is pure insecurity + hypocrisy.”
In the episode, after Amaal and Shehbaz accused Bigg Boss of being a ‘cheater’, ‘unfair’, and biased, Bigg Boss decided to call out the housemates. He gathered everyone in the Assembly room and criticised them for being two-faced. Bigg Boss revealed that no one had a problem when their weekly ration was cut or when they were nominated, their actual issue was Gaurav becoming captain. Bigg Boss asked the housemates to overthrow Gaurav as the captain and choose a new one. He then made the housemates vote again for the captaincy, and this time, Shehbaz replaced Gaurav as the new captain.
