'Bigg Boss 19': Salman schools Neelam, calls her 'weak competitor'
What's the story
In the latest promo for Bigg Boss 19's Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan confronted contestant Neelam Giri over her refusal to cook after a disagreement with fellow housemate Gaurav Khanna. During a recent task, Khanna had made a comment about Giri only cooking and doing nothing else in the game. Although he later clarified that it was part of the task, Giri gave up her duty and refused to cook.
Confrontation
Why did Giri refuse to cook?
In the promo, Khan asked Giri, "Playground wale task mein karna kya tha?" (What were you supposed to do in the playground task?) To which she replied, "Bura bura bolna tha." (We had to say bad things.) Khan then questioned why she took her anger out on everyone for something Khanna did as part of the task. Giri said she didn't feel like cooking after that.
Criticism
Khan calls Giri a 'weak competitor'
Khan then criticized Giri for not voicing her opinions clearly, calling her a "weak competitor." He said, "Iss ghar mein aapka jo opinion hai, woh saamne aata hi nahi hai." "Sach kadwa hota hai. Ki aap ek aisi weak competitor ho, ki inko aapse koi khatra nahi hai." (This is exactly the problem, Neelam. In this house, your opinions never come forward. The truth is bitter...you're such a weak competitor that no one here sees you as a threat.)
