Bigg Boss 19 episode 48 HIGHLIGHTS: Nehal becomes captain amid fierce house drama

New Delhi: The Bigg Boss 19 house was full of vibrant energy on October 10, with everything from laughter and pranks to emotional revelations and tense confrontations. The day began with Kunickaa, Malti, and Amaal opening up emotionally about their personal lives.

Kunickaa surprised everyone when she revealed, “I’ve had two marriages, two live-in relationships, and four romances,” and added that she had never dated an actor because “they’re often too full of themselves.”  Dive in for details about Episode 48 of Bigg Boss season 19.

The captaincy contender task saw twists as Zeishan and Pranit failed to complete Kunickaa’s picture puzzle and were eliminated. The final contenders, Nehal, Ashnoor, Tanya, and Shehbaz, faced a new strategic test. After multiple elimination rounds and contestant votes, Nehal secured the fewest negative votes and was declared the new house captain.

Meanwhile, Abhishek brought humour into the kitchen. Under Kunickaa and Farrhana’s guidance, his noisy cooking led Mridul to quip, “Shor zyada ho raha hai, khana kam ban raha hai.” A funny chase unfolded when Pranit stole Abhishek and Ashnoor’s gajar ka halwa and was thrown into the swimming pool as revenge.

Tempers flared when Malti and Farrhana argued over sleeping habits, with Malti calling Farrhana “mad” and Farrhana responding that Malti was a “poor wild card choice.” Another disagreement arose when Malti refused to wash the utensils, leading to a heated exchange between Captain Nehal and Amaal about duty assignments.

In the Citroën task, Gaurav won the new Citroën Aircross X, earning seven votes. However, his win caused tension as Amaal’s speech ignored Tanya and Neelam, upsetting them both. The day ended with laughter, grudges, and alliances reshaping, keeping viewers hooked to the constant drama inside the Bigg Boss 19 house. Catch all the action on COLORS and JioHotstar.
