Bigg Boss 19 Episode 6: Kunickaa Sadanand Becomes First Captain, Gaurav Khanna Refuses Cooking Duty

The sixth episode of Bigg Boss 19 delivered high drama, heated confrontations, and a surprising twist in the captaincy race. Actor Kunickaa Sadanand emerged as the first captain of the season after Tanya Mittal exercised her authority to make the final decision.

Kunickaa Secures Captaincy
The captaincy task turned intense when contestants clashed over strategies and responsibilities. Zeishan Quadri and Kunickaa engaged in a sharp verbal duel, while tensions between Abhishek Bajaj and Baseer Ali nearly escalated into a physical fight. The altercation drew reactions from other housemates, including Amaal Mallik and Zeishan, who were seen mocking the situation.

Despite the chaos, Tanya justified her choice of Kunickaa, citing her ability to handle conflicts and manage strong personalities since the start of the show. She also expressed her desire to see a woman hold a position of power inside the house.

Gaurav Khanna Refuses to Cook
Soon after taking charge, Kunickaa assigned kitchen duties to Gaurav Khanna, who recently won Celebrity MasterChef. Surprisingly, Gaurav declined the task, claiming he did not know how to cook. He eventually agreed to clean toilets alongside Zeishan instead.

Secret Room Twist and Farrhana’s Return
The episode introduced an “App Room,” a new feature allowing trending contestants to access advantages—or disadvantages—based on their popularity. Farrhana Bhatt, previously in the secret room, was granted the power to select a contestant for the privilege. She chose Gaurav, who then faced a dilemma: allow Farrhana’s re-entry or take half the groceries.

Gaurav opted for Farrhana’s return, which sparked immediate conflict. Bigg Boss revealed that Farrhana had previously influenced the captaincy task by stopping Baseer from participating, leading to a heated argument between the two.

A Budding Connection?
Romance might be brewing in the house as Mridul confessed his liking for Natalia, describing her as his opposite but someone he enjoys talking to. Natalia responded by calling him “cute,” making Mridul blush. The lighthearted moment turned dramatic when Mridul appeared jealous after Baseer hugged Natalia.
