Bigg Boss 19 double elimination: Abhishek Bajaj and Neelam Giri out after heated clashes and weekend allegations

admin

Bigg Boss 19 delivered another one of its most dramatic turns this week with the double eviction of Abhishek Bajaj and Neelam Giri. Both contestants, who have been at the centre of multiple controversies since the beginning of the season, saw their journeys cut short after an intense round of nominations and weekend scrutiny. Neelam Giri’s stint inside the house was marked by frequent reprimands from host Salman Khan. The Bhojpuri actress was repeatedly cautioned for her conduct, including the episode where she was accused of body shaming fellow contestant Ashnoor Kaur. Her run also included a series of confrontations- from a heated fallout with Tanya Mittal, once considered her close ally, to a major clash with Farrhana Bhatt. Abhishek Bajaj’s journey wasn’t any less turbulent. During the recently aired Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan called him out once again, this time in the presence of Ashnoor Kaur, pointing out how her presence often gets overshadowed by Bajaj. The actor has also been embroiled in controversies linked to personal allegations made by his ex-wife Akanksha, who questioned his chemistry with Ashnoor and accused him of cheating during their marriage. His time in the house further saw repeated arguments with contestants like Baseer Ali and Shehbaz Gill.
