The latest elimination from the Bigg Boss 19 house has ignited a significant controversy, with evicted contestant Baseer Ali and his close friend, Bigg Boss 9 winner Prince Narula, openly accusing the show’s makers of unfair conduct and an intentional conspiracy.
Baseer Ali was eliminated from the reality show, with the makers citing a “lack of votes” as the reason. Both Baseer and Prince Narula have vehemently rejected this explanation, suggesting a deliberate attempt to remove a strong player.
Baseer Ali: “The Numbers Speak for Themselves”
Addressing the media after his unexpected eviction, Baseer Ali expressed his deep disappointment and called the official reason for his exit “pure bullst.”**
Baseer argued that his performance and popularity within the same week contradicted the eviction: “The thing that they said, that you have been evicted because of lack of votes, is pure bulls**t. When I came out and checked my social media, the numbers speak for themselves, and the statistics are right in front of us.”
He highlighted the irony of his elimination, which occurred in the same week he had earned the titles of ‘Boss of the Week’ and ‘Mantri of the Week’. Flaunting his social media reach, Baseer claimed to have clocked 2 million story views, a number he asserts is unusually high for a current contestant. “I’ve asked quite a few people, and none of them have ever seen such reach themselves,” he added.
Baseer concluded by stating he had envisioned himself in the Top 5 or 6 and expressed a belief that the show’s creators were determined not to let him lift the winner’s trophy.
Prince Narula Slams Makers: “They’ll Make This Season a Flop”
Baseer’s sentiments were strongly echoed by his friend and former ‘Roadies’ co-star, Prince Narula. Narula, who is the winner of Bigg Boss 9, posted a video on his Instagram stories, outright slamming the channel and the Bigg Boss team.
“I was watching Bigg Boss only for Baseer,” Narula stated, adding, “Agar yeh news actually mein sach hai ki Baseer ko bahar nikaal diya hai… votes se toh woh bahar nahi jaa sakta kisi bhi haalat mein. Trend karraha tha woh.”
Prince Narula, a veteran of several reality shows, further accused the makers of engineering the removal. “Aur hum Roadies wale waise bhi kabhi bahar jaldi jaatein nahi hai. So, agar nikaal diya hai toh saajish se nikaal diya hai usko (And we Roadies contestants never get eliminated this early anyway. So if he’s been evicted, it’s because of a conspiracy).”
He concluded with a harsh criticism of the show’s future: “Flop season kardenge yeh kyunki uske ilawa koi khiladi tha bhi nahi (They’ll make this season a flop because, apart from him, there wasn’t any real player).”
The Double Eviction
The controversy stems from the eviction that took place following the Diwali week. Last week, four contestants—Gaurav Khanna, Nehal Chudasama, Pranit More, and Baseer Ali—were nominated. Since no eviction occurred during the Diwali celebrations, a double eviction was expected. While rumours of one contestant being sent to a secret room circulated, ultimately both Nehal Chudasama and Baseer Ali were eliminated, bringing their respective journeys to an end.
For the current week, the entire house is nominated for eviction, with the exceptions of Abhishek Bajaj, Mridul Tiwari, and Ashnoor Kaur. Bigg Boss 19 is available to watch at 9:30 pm on JioHotstar and 10:30 pm on Colors TV.
