'BB 19': No evictions this week in absence of Salman
What's the story
A major twist is set to shake things up in Bigg Boss 19, as Rohit Shetty gears up to host Weekend Ka Vaar in Salman Khan's absence. As per a report by Bigg Boss Khabari, there will be no elimination from the house this week. This decision comes after Mridul Tiwari's shocking mid-week eviction earlier this week, leaving only nine contestants in the house.

'Bigg Boss 19' contestants to get a breather
With all contestants except Shehbaz Badesha nominated, the no-eviction week gives everyone time to regroup, strategize, and plan their next moves. The report also suggests that the contestants may face a possible mid-week eviction once again. This is because the voting lines weren't open to the viewers this week till Friday.
