BB19’s Zeishan Quadri questions Nehal and Farrhana’s secret room favouritism, asks ‘mujhe kyun nahi yaar?’

In an exclusive chat with India Forums after his eviction from Bigg Boss 19, actor and filmmaker Zeishan Quadri opened up about his abrupt exit from the show and claimed that the makers were unfair to him.

When asked whether he felt Salman Khan or the showrunners showed any favouritism towards Amaal Malik, Zeishan responded that while he didn’t completely understand why certain clips weren’t aired, Amaal too faced criticism from Salman. “Dekho meri yeh samajh nahi aaya ki kyun nahi bataya gaya Amaal mere baare mein kya bol raha hai, par biased yah jo ho jaaye, par Amaal ko dekho daant bhi bahut padti hai Salman sir se. Pata nahi yahaan kitna dikhaya gaya hai, abhi maine episodes nahi dekhe hai. Main bagal mein hi baitha tha, toh woh rone bhi laga tha un baaton se,” Zeeshan said.

The Gangs of Wasseypur writer continued by explaining why he believes the process was unfair. “Haan, main apne saath unfair bol sakta hoon. Aapko nahi lagta, par mujhe lagta hai yaar, kisi ko aapne nominate karke dusre din secret room bhej diya aur usko bula liya, aisa do baar aapne kar diya.”

Zeishan was referring to moments when contestants Farrhana Bhatt and Nehal Chudasama were evicted but later brought back via the secret room twist. He further questioned why he wasn’t given the same opportunity. “Aapne Kunickaa ji ko sabse kam vote pe aaya tha, aapne unko rakh liya aap room use karke, toh mujhe kyun nahi yaar? Main kaunsa backfoot pe khel raha tha, main kaunsa chup reh raha tha, main kaunsa ghar pe so raha tha? Mujhe bhi toh ek baar yeh chance dete uss time. Koi toh aake samajhta mujhe, asli chehra dikhta ghar walon ka.”

Zeishan Quadri expressed his frustration with Bigg Boss 19 makers, indirectly saying unlike Gauahar Khan and Kunickaa Sadanand's son, he wasn’t given guidance or second chances, which could have changed his strategy in the house.
