Tensions flared in the Bigg Boss 19 house as Amaal Mallik, the current captain, got into a heated argument with Kunickaa Sadanand over kitchen duties. The fight began when Amaal took charge of the kitchen work, and Kunickaa responded sarcastically. Amaal, known for maintaining a composed demeanor, lost his cool due to Kunickaa's repeated interference in the kitchen, despite having stepped down from those responsibilities.
The conflict escalated when Kunickaa continued to linger in the kitchen and meddle with food preparations, causing confusion among the designated kitchen team. Amaal had repeatedly asked her to leave the area, but she disregarded his requests, leading to a heated exchange. A visibly frustrated Amaal lashed out, accusing Kunickaa of being rigid and disrupting the kitchen workflow in a strongly worded captain's letter. When confronted, Kunickaa refused to acknowledge the issue and instead instigated a direct fight with Amaal.
Amaal asserted that respecting her did not mean he should be taken advantage of or treated like a servant. He stated, "Respect doesn't mean behaving like a servant and doing whatever someone says". Kunickaa responded by saying she did not want his respect. This marked a rare emotional outburst from Amaal, who has generally maintained a calm presence in the house.
The argument also touched on past incidents. Previously, Kunickaa had mocked Tanya Mittal in the kitchen, leading to another argument. Shehbaz Badesha confronted Abhishek Bajaj for questioning Kunickaa's presence in the kitchen after she had been asked to make halwa, accusing him of being a hypocrite. This confrontation between Shehbaz and Abhishek escalated, with both pushing each other and exchanging heated words.
Adding to the kitchen chaos, Neelam Giri was seen sorting through rotten vegetables late at night. When Kunickaa asked Ashnoor Kaur to assist Neelam, Ashnoor refused, stating she had other tasks to attend to. Kunickaa's repeated comments about the lack of help for Neelam further fueled Amaal's anger, leading him to warn Kunickaa against entering the kitchen unless assigned a duty. Their verbal exchange worsened when Amaal stated that everyone would inform him of everything.
The fight between Amaal and Kunickaa highlights the shifting dynamics and simmering tensions within the Bigg Boss 19 house. It remains to be seen how the other contestants will react and whether Amaal can maintain his leadership under pressure.
