Is Bigg Boss Playing Favorites? Sumbul Touqeer Khan Exposes the Show's Double Standards After Ashnoor Kaur's Shocking Eviction
Published on: November 30, 2025, 12:51 PM IST
In a move that has sparked intense debate among fans, television actor Ashnoor Kaur was abruptly evicted from the Bigg Boss 19 house just a week before the finale. The reason? She allegedly hit fellow contestant Tanya Mittal with a wooden plank during a heated task. While Ashnoor insisted it was an accident, host Salman Khan deemed it a severe rule violation and showed her the door. But here's where it gets controversial: former Bigg Boss 16 contestant Sumbul Touqeer Khan has slammed the show's decision, calling it unfair and hypocritical. And this is the part most people miss: Sumbul points out that physical altercations have occurred before without evictions, raising questions about the show's consistency.
The Incident That Led to Ashnoor's Eviction
During Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan addressed the altercation, claiming Ashnoor intentionally hit Tanya out of frustration for losing the Ticket to Finale task. Ashnoor, however, defended herself, explaining that her arms and shoulders were sore, causing her to drop the plank accidentally. Despite her pleas, Salman dismissed her explanation, labeling her actions as a major breach of house rules. Ashnoor's emotional exit left many viewers divided—was it a fair call, or was she unfairly targeted?
Sumbul Touqeer Khan's Scathing Critique
Taking to Instagram, Sumbul didn't hold back. She shared a photo of Kunickaa Sadanand physically restraining Ashnoor, captioning it, 'Isn’t this physical force? Isn’t this against the rules too?' She further questioned the show's selective enforcement of rules, pointing out instances where other contestants, including Tanya, had engaged in physical altercations without facing eviction. 'Were the rules suddenly more important this time?' she asked sarcastically. Sumbul clarified that she wasn't condoning violence but highlighting the show's hypocrisy. 'If every contestant who got physical was evicted, then Ashnoor’s eviction would’ve been fair,' she wrote.
A Pattern of Inconsistency?
This season has seen multiple physical confrontations, yet punishments have been inconsistent. Tanya Mittal, for instance, once kicked Nehal Chudasama and threatened her, while Amaal Mallik and Abhishek Bajaj got into a scuffle—all without evictions. Sumbul's critique raises a valid question: Is Bigg Boss playing favorites, or are the rules applied arbitrarily?
The Road to the Grand Finale
As the season nears its end, today marks the final Weekend Ka Vaar, with the top six contestants vying for the trophy. The grand finale is set for December 7, 2025, streaming on JioHotstar at 9 PM and airing on Colors TV at 10:30 PM. But amidst the excitement, Sumbul's allegations have cast a shadow over the show's integrity. What do you think? Was Ashnoor's eviction justified, or is Sumbul right about the show's double standards? Let us know in the comments—this debate is far from over!
