In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 aired on October 2, 2025, the much-anticipated captaincy task ended abruptly in controversy and drama. The task, themed around dinosaurs, saw Ashnoor Kaur assigned as the "gatekeeper," but tensions rose when a past statement by singer Amaal Malik about Ashnoor triggered a dispute among the contestants. Several housemates demanded Bigg Boss intervene to clarify the issue before continuing, leading to a collective halt of the task by the contestants.

Despite attempts by the housemates to resume the task on their own, Bigg Boss reprimanded them for their unacceptable behavior of stalling the task and disrupted the game flow. Ultimately, Bigg Boss cancelled the entire captaincy task and decided that Farhana Bhatt, last week’s captain, will continue in her role for the upcoming week as well.

This decision stunned the contestants and sparked further arguments and blame games within the house. Farhana Bhatt's continued captaincy without having to compete this week has been seen as a big break for her. The atmosphere inside the house is tense, with rivalries and conflicts intensifying post the abrupt turn of events.

Key highlights from the episode include:

• Ashnoor Kaur acting as gatekeeper and being at the center of the controversy due to Amaal Malik’s past comments.

• A physical altercation where Abhishek Bajaj pushed Amaal Malik after heated exchanges.

• Divisions among the housemates with rising tensions between several groups.

• Farhana Bhatt’s remarks questioning Ashnoor’s upbringing leading to a major clash.

The cancellation of the captaincy task makes for a rare show moment where the power dynamics remain unchanged despite the intense competition, adding fresh unpredictability to Bigg Boss 19’s storyline.
