The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 has stirred up considerable drama, with a heated captaincy task leading to a major fallout between Amaal Mallik and Nehal Chudasama. The task, which involved contestants writing and erasing reasons why other housemates were unfit to be captain, quickly escalated into a physical altercation between the two.

Nehal Chudasama accused Amaal Mallik of physically harming her during the task, causing her to break down emotionally. She alleged that Amaal had hit her, and later confided to other female contestants that she was hit on her private parts, but hesitated to complain because it involved Amaal. Other housemates, however, defended Amaal, suggesting that any contact was unintentional and a result of the task's physical nature. Baseer Ali, in particular, stepped in to support Amaal, clarifying that there was no deliberate misconduct.

Amaal Mallik was visibly distressed by the accusations and repeatedly apologized to Nehal. Despite his apologies, Nehal remained upset, telling him that the task wasn't meant to be physical. She expressed that every push and shove during the task caused her harm.

The incident occurred during a captaincy task where housemates were divided into two teams, Red and Blue. Each team had a writer and a "duster," whose job was to wipe away the opposing team's reasons for disqualification. Abhishek Bajaj and Amaal Mallik were the writer and duster for Team Red, while Nehal Chudasama and Baseer Ali took on those roles for Team Blue. Awez Darbar and Nagma Mirajkar acted as supervisors for the round.

As the task commenced, Baseer and Abhishek engaged in a physical confrontation as Baseer attempted to erase Abhishek's writings, leading to a physical clash. Simultaneously, Nehal and Amaal also got into a heated argument, with Nehal accusing Amaal of physical harm. The situation spiraled when Baseer threw the board into the pool after Abhishek broke it, prompting Amaal to do the same.

Following the incident, Nehal sat in the garden, crying inconsolably. While Amaal attempted to apologize, she initially refused to acknowledge him. Later that night, they spoke, but Nehal remained upset, reiterating that he shouldn't have been physical.

The clash between Amaal and Nehal has sparked debate among viewers, with some criticizing Nehal for playing the "woman card". Some felt she overreacted, while others pointed out that she also climbed on top of Amaal during the task.

Despite the controversy, the captaincy task concluded with Amaal Mallik emerging as the new captain, defeating Mridul Tiwari in a tie-breaker. Prior to the task, Amaal had expressed trust issues with Nehal and Farhana Bhatt. He told Zeeshan Quadri that he felt Nehal and Farhana could turn on them at any moment.

This isn't the first time Nehal Chudasama has been involved in a physical altercation. In March 2025, she shared a personal experience of being physically attacked by a man she knew, highlighting her past trauma and potentially explaining her strong reaction during the Bigg Boss task.
