In a stunning turn of events just a week before the Bigg Boss 19 grand finale, host Salman Khan has made the decisive call to evict contestant Ashnoor Kaur. The television actress was removed from the house following a physical altercation during a competitive ‘ticket to finale’ task, where she allegedly struck Tanya Mittal with a wooden plank.
Salman Khan took center stage during the ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode to address the incident. He presented video footage that he claimed contradicted Ashnoor’s assertion of an unintentional hit. According to Salman, the video showed Ashnoor’s awareness of Tanya’s presence, suggesting the action stemmed from anger rather than a mishap. The seriousness of the alleged aggressive act led to the production’s decision to terminate Ashnoor’s journey on the show.
Opening the episode, Salman Khan engaged the housemates in a discussion about the proximity of the finale and the week’s events. When probed about recent conflicts, contestants like Shehbaz and Gaurav described escalating arguments and a general breakdown of harmony, referencing a broken plate as a minor incident in a larger series of clashes.
Pranit then recounted the moment Tanya was injured during the task, stating that a plank might have slipped from Ashnoor’s hand and hit Tanya. Salman, however, played the footage for all to see, directly confronting Ashnoor. He highlighted that the video appeared to show her acknowledging Tanya’s proximity and criticized her delayed response and failure to apologize. Ashnoor defended her actions, citing discomfort and an accidental strike, but Salman remained unconvinced by her explanation.
The narrative was further complicated by a mention of Ashnoor’s father’s advice during the family week. He had reportedly urged her to stand up for herself against perceived slights, including body-shaming allegations leveled by Tanya Mittal and others. This encouragement might have influenced Ashnoor’s assertive behavior that led to the confrontation.
