Tensions flared in the Bigg Boss 19 house when a heated argument between Abhishek Bajaj and Shehbaz Badeshah escalated, bringing Shehnaaz Gill into the fray. The confrontation began as a typical disagreement but took a turn when Abhishek accused Shehbaz of being fake, claiming Shehnaaz had advised him to do so.
According to reports, the fight began when Shehbaz was teasing Abhishek and Ashnoor while Abhishek was working out. Abhishek retaliated, calling Shehbaz "fake from top to bottom" and alleging that Shehbaz himself had said his sister told him to act fake on the show. This accusation angered Shehbaz, who insisted that Shehnaaz has always encouraged him to be authentic. He firmly warned Abhishek against involving his sister in their arguments.
Shehbaz clarified that Shehnaaz always advised him to stay real if he wanted to win hearts. He was seen warning Bajaj not to drag Shehnaaz Gill's name into the argument. Realizing his mistake, Abhishek quickly apologized. However, Shehbaz initially refused to accept, expressing his anger at his family being brought into the game. Other contestants intervened to defuse the situation, and Shehbaz warned that any further mention of Shehnaaz would not be tolerated.
Later, Shehbaz approached Abhishek in a calmer manner, stating that he considered everyone's family as his own and that mutual respect should be maintained. Abhishek also clarified that he wasn't speaking ill of Shehnaaz and was only referring to a statement Shehbaz made upon entering the show. He assured Shehbaz that he would not mention her name again. Despite this, Shehbaz remained furious, yelling at Abhishek and threatening physical violence. Abhishek then warned that he would retaliate if anyone became physically violent. Fellow contestants Baseer Ali, Pranit More, and Mridul Tiwari eventually brought the situation under control. Both Abhishek and Shehbaz later apologized and reconciled.
The October 1 episode also saw Farrhana Bhatt ranking the contestants, leading to a ration task. This task stirred up controversy and disagreements among the housemates. Additionally, there was a water-sprinkling incident involving Farrhana and Abhishek, which led to further arguments.
Shehnaaz Gill, Shehbaz's sister, gained fame during her time on Bigg Boss 13, winning hearts with her personality. Before entering Bigg Boss 19 as a wildcard contestant, Shehbaz had identified Abhishek Bajaj as the strongest contestant. He clarified that his definition of "strongest" referred to who was most loved by the audience, with Natalia being the weakest at that time.
This incident highlights the intensity of emotions and the importance of family connections within the Bigg Boss house. It also demonstrates how quickly disagreements can escalate and the role other contestants play in mediating conflicts.
