From Gaurav Khanna being targetted to Farrhana's fiery re entry: Everything that happened in BB19's week one

The very first week of Bigg Boss 19 has set the tone for what promises to be one of the most unpredictable seasons yet. Within just a few days, the house has seen food wars, emotional meltdowns, fiery clashes and a shocking twist that changed the game overnight. With the Assembly Room and secret room already stirring things up, here’s a look at everything that kept fans glued to their screens in Week One.

Nehal Chudasama & Abhishek Bajaj's food feud:

The kitchen became the house’s first battlefield when Abhishek Bajaj and Nehal Chudasama locked horns over rationing. Nehal accused Abhishek of eating beyond his share, threatening to stop cooking altogether. Abhishek retaliated sharply, calling her names and refusing to be blamed. The argument escalated so quickly that other housemates, including Baseer, were drawn into the chaos. The fight proved how food politics will once again be a recurring trigger this season.

Gaurav vs Zeishaan Over Duties:

Another flashpoint came when Gaurav Khanna was accused of shirking responsibilities. Zeishaan Quadri openly mocked him for avoiding chores, while others complained about his habit of taking extra servings. Amaal Mallik, too, didn’t hold back, calling Gaurav’s behaviour attention-seeking. What started as a debate on duties soon spiralled into character judgments, putting Gaurav on the radar early in the game.

Farhana’s Exit, Secret room and return:

Farrhana Bhat became the season’s first evicted contestant, but the twist of her entering the secret room stunned everyone. From there, she observed housemates closely before making a dramatic return—thanks to Gaurav’s choice that cost the house its ration. Her comeback was fiery, especially when she clashed with Baseer Ali. The two hurled personal insults at each other, leaving the house divided over her presence.

Awez Darbar’s Emotional Breakdown:

The high-pressure environment got the better of Awez Darbar when he nominated Gaurav Khanna for eviction. Though firm in his decision, guilt hit him later, and he broke down in tears. Nagma Mirajkar was seen consoling him, but the moment revealed just how quickly the game can shake even the strongest personalities.

Gaurav Khanna in the Line of Fire:

Despite not being the loudest in the room, Gaurav emerged as an easy target for many contestants. He himself admitted that he expected to be nominated early, seeing it as proof that others viewed him as a threat. Whether his confidence pays off or isolates him further remains to be seen, but his journey has already become one of the season’s focal points.

Tanya Mittal Turns Up the Heat:

Tanya Mittal, on the other hand, has been all about making a statement. From asking fellow contestants to call her “boss” instead of by name, to proudly flaunting her saree look as a symbol of identity, she has ensured she’s never out of the spotlight. Her bold declarations—like claiming her presence alone makes others lose—have split opinions but kept conversations alive both inside and outside the house.

The First Captaincy Task:

The week wrapped up with a high-stakes captaincy task, where housemates had to back contenders by flipping coloured tiles. Strategy ruled the day, and ultimately, Kunickaa Sadanand, with Baseer as her chosen proxy, managed to outwit the others and became the first captain of Bigg Boss 19. The win not only gave her power but also established her as a player to watch.

If the first week is anything to go by, Bigg Boss 19 has already delivered on drama, strategy and unpredictability. With friendships cracking under pressure, new alliances forming in the shadows, and bold personalities refusing to step back, the stage is set for a rollercoaster ride ahead. The introduction of the Assembly Room and the secret room has added a new layer of intrigue, making trust a rare commodity inside the house. Contestants are already playing mind games, and loyalties are shifting faster than ever. One thing is certain — this season won’t let viewers look away even for a minute, and if Week One is just the beginning, what lies ahead might redefine the game completely.
