The grand finale of Bigg Boss 19, which took place on December 7, generated a lot of buzz due to its star-studded appearances and captivating performances. A notable moment that sparked controversy was Pranit More mocking Abhishek Bajaj, who had previously faced eviction, leading to widespread criticism from viewers online.
Conversations during the show included host Salman Khan teasing Bajaj about having been evicted by More. In a lighthearted exchange, Bajaj remarked about the irony of his situation, saying, “If I had won, I would have become the headline, but the way I lost, now I have become a story.” Salman’s humor continued as he connected the situation, hinting at past tensions between the two contestants. When Bajaj defended his actions regarding another contestant, Pranit continued to taunt him, further fueling the backlash.
Reactions on social media have been predominantly negative towards Pranit. Many Reddit users expressed disappointment at his lack of empathy, with comments highlighting his perceived insensitivity. One user criticized him for taking pride in his actions, while another pointed out that Bajaj’s distress was evident. The general consensus among commenters was that Pranit’s mocking was inappropriate, especially considering Bajaj’s vulnerability.
The context of Bajaj’s eviction adds further depth to this situation. Early in the season, he made a strategic decision during a task to lock the door to protect fellow contestant Nagma, which ultimately backfired, leading to her nomination and eventual eviction. In a later twist, Pranit had the opportunity to save either Bajaj or Ashnoor Kaur during a critical moment, and despite his earlier claims to prioritize Bajaj, he chose to save Kaur. This decision did not sit well with fans, who accused Pranit of tactical gameplay aimed at weakening his competitors.
As the finale concluded, Gaurav Khanna emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss 19, adding to the drama surrounding the show’s final moments. The interactions and decisions made throughout the season have left a lasting impact on viewers, particularly regarding the relationships and rivalries between contestants like Pranit More and Abhishek Bajaj.
