Bigg Boss 19: Baseer Ali Clarifies He Had ‘No Rivalry’ With Abhishek Bajaj

In a recent social media interaction, Baseer Ali, a former contestant on Bigg Boss 19, addressed speculation about a rivalry with fellow housemate Abhishek Bajaj, stating that there was no animosity between them. This clarification comes after both contestants faced an unexpected double elimination from the Bigg Boss 19 house.

During an #AskBaseer session on X (formerly Twitter), fans questioned Baseer about his perceived conflicts with Abhishek. Baseer responded by saying that Bigg Boss is just a game. He added that he had no rivalry with Abhishek Bajaj, explaining that each was simply playing their part in the competition. "It's just a game; aggression happens in the game, and it keeps happening," he stated.

Despite Baseer's recent statement, their time in the Bigg Boss house was marked by disagreements. There were heated exchanges over captaincy and hygiene. In one instance, Baseer criticized Abhishek's leadership and cleanliness as captain, leading to a confrontation. During a captaincy task, the competition between them became physical, resulting in Baseer calling Abhishek a "loser" and throwing a blackboard into the swimming pool. Accusations of being a "puppet captain" were also thrown.

Adding to the drama, a promo showed Baseer blocking Abhishek during a task, which escalated into a physical altercation. Baseer accused Abhishek of physical aggression, while Abhishek defended his actions. These incidents contributed to the perception of a rivalry between the two contestants.

Despite the on-screen clashes, Baseer expressed openness to future collaborations with Abhishek. When a fan suggested they should work together, Baseer responded, "Let's see how things unfold in the future. Insha Allah, if a project comes our way, we'll definitely come together and make you all happy again".

Baseer's eviction from Bigg Boss 19 came as a surprise to many viewers. In an interview, he admitted that he saw his eviction coming, as he did not get feedback in the last nine weeks about where he was going wrong or right.

Some fans have criticized Bigg Boss 19 makers for the early eliminations of both Baseer and Abhishek. It has been reported that both have been offered roles in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 as compensation.

Baseer has also spoken about his friendships outside of the Bigg Boss house, mentioning Amaal Malik and Shehbaz Badesha as genuine friends who "truly miss" him. He conveyed that he hadn't watched many episodes post-eviction but noticed clips of Amaal and Shehbaz remembering him.

Bigg Boss 19 is expected to conclude next month, with the grand finale reportedly scheduled for December 7, 2025. The show features contestants such as Gaurav Khanna, Amaal Mallik, Ashnoor Kaur, and others.
