Bigg Boss season 19 has just started, but the show is already making headlines for heated arguments and controversies. In the very first week, a big clash happened between singer-composer Amaal Mallik and fellow contestant Abhishek, which has now become the talk of social media.
Amaal Mallik’s remark on Abhishek sparks controversy
The issue began during a task when Amaal Mallik placed Abhishek in the “follower” category instead of calling him a “leader.” This upset Abhishek deeply, as he considered Amaal a close friend inside the house. Abhishek questioned Amaal’s decision, feeling betrayed by someone he trusted. However, Amaal appeared irritated by Abhishek’s constant questioning and dismissed his concerns.

The matter turned worse when Amaal, while talking to Zeeshan Qadri in Abhishek’s absence, made a controversial remark. He said that if Abhishek wanted to complain about such small issues, he should go home, wear bangles, drape a saree, and put on a bindi. This statement did not sit well with the audience, especially female viewers, who felt that Amaal’s words were disrespectful and reinforced outdated gender stereotypes.

Many social media users criticized the comment, saying it equated showing emotions or being upset with being a woman, which is both insulting and regressive. Fans expressed that such statements should not be normalized on national television, particularly on a widely watched reality show like Bigg Boss.
The drama in the house has already been high, especially after contestant Farhana Bhatt returned from the secret room. Her re-entry shook the dynamics of the house, as she openly pointed out flaws in contestants’ relationships, which created more tension among housemates.
Bigg Boss is known for fights and controversies, but this particular remark by Amaal has sparked a bigger debate about respect, sensitivity, and the kind of language public figures should use. Viewers now wait to see whether host Salman Khan or the makers of the show will address this issue in the upcoming weekend episode.
