In recent weeks, Bigg Boss 19 has faced backlash from viewers due to housemates’ persistent efforts to save contestant Neelam Giri from nominations. This “Save Neelam from Nomination” saga peaked during the captaincy task last week, becoming a key reason behind Gaurva Khanna losing votes. Zeishan Qadari chose Farrhana Bhat over Gaurva, as Farrhana promised to use her special captain powers to protect Neelam. However, true to Bigg Boss twists, things didn’t go as planned in the latest episode.
On Day 37, which marked the fifth nomination process, the house buzzed with constant speculation about saving Neelam using Farrhana’s captaincy powers. Bigg Boss directly addressed the housemates, stating,
“Housemates, who will the leader of the house save in the nominations today? Everyone has started racing their minds over this.”The host then questioned previous captains about whether captains always receive special powers during nominations, and all responded with a no. Bigg Boss added,

“When no one even knows whether the captain will have any special power or not, what’s the point of this ‘Save Neelam’ movement that has been happening for the past two weeks?” The housemates reacted with hoots, and Nehal Chadasma commented, “This movement came out of fear.”
The host continued,
“So this ‘Save Neelam’ movement, which starts with every captain or before every nomination process for two weeks, does it even make any sense? You waste your own and the viewers’ valuable time discussing irrelevant powers about which you have zero information.

“Bigg Boss clarified that Farrhana would not have any special power to save anyone this week. Instead, she was instructed to nominate one contestant directly, and she chose Ashnoor Kaur. The other nominees this week are Amaal Mallik, Kunickka Sadanand, Nehal Chadasma, Pranit More, Tanya Mittal, Neelam Giri, and Zeishan Qadari.
