The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 was full of drama, with Gaurav Khanna's captaincy inciting anger among housemates.

During a conversation with Tanya Mittal, Sadanand claimed to be "fully sure" that Chahar is a lesbian, sparking widespread criticism online.
Reaction
Sadanand's comments were met with silence from Mittal
The controversial remarks were made after a task in which Mittal expressed her anger at Chahar for allegedly trying to hit her with a plate. Sadanand then walked over to Mittal and said, "Ek cheez bolna hai, toh aisa hai ye joh Malti madam na, I'm fully sure that she is a lesbian." "Her postures also look like that and the way she keeps saying things. Notice this haan."
Viewer backlash
Viewers expressed outrage over Sadanand's remarks
Viewers were not happy with Sadanand's comments on Chahar's sexuality. One user posted, "On what grounds did they even label #MaltiChahar a 'lesbian'? They're weaponizing the term as an insult, which is utterly senseless and disgraceful." While another said, "Wtf did they even call Malti 'Lesbian?' They are using this as a derogatory word. Are they even in their senses? NOT COOL CUNNING KUNICKAA. THIS SHOULD BE CALLED OUT ON WKV."
House intervention
Bigg Boss intervened after housemates' accusations
Meanwhile, after Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz Badesha accused Bigg Boss of being a "cheater," "unfair," and "biased," Bigg Boss decided to intervene. He called all housemates into the Assembly room and criticized them for their hypocrisy. Bigg Boss pointed out that no one had a problem with their weekly ration being cut or being nominated; their real issue was Khanna's captaincy. He then asked the housemates to vote again for captaincy, resulting in Badesha replacing Khanna as the new captain.
