Bigg Boss 19: Hear me out. Mridul Tiwari has been evicted in a mid-week surprise eviction from the Bigg Boss 19 house. And while the act itself might not seem that surprising, one cannot help but marvel at the way it all played out - much to the disappointment of Mridul Tiwari fans. But the larger question here is whether Bigg Boss is craftily thinning the herd to a predictable finale where the choicest of housemates get a chance to take home the trophy. Kya Salman Khan hosted Bigg Boss reality show khel gaya with Mridul Tiwari’s eviction?Mridul Tiwari was ousted from the Salman Khan-hosted reality show after receiving the fewest votes from a live audience. The eviction unfolded on Wednesday during a special captaincy task, where live audience members,
who were invited into the house, cast their votes in person. After the contestants made their final pitches to win support, a secret ballot decided their fate.
Gaurav Khanna and Shehbaz Badesha garnered the highest number of votes, moving forward as the key contenders for captaincy - while Mridul, unfortunately, found himself at the bottom of the tally, resulting in his elimination.Also Read: Bigg Boss 19: Why Is Amaal Mallik Going On In A Loop About Tanya Mittal?But things might not be as simple as it seems. The contestants were already in pre-determined groups and had no idea how the tally would play out. While Kunickaa Sadanand, Tanya Mittal and Farhana Bhat banded together; Shehbaz found himself being pitched with Malti Chahar and Ashnoor Kaur. It seems fate did not favour Mridul, who was pitched, unwittingly and unknowingly against Gaurav Khanna and Pranit More, both of whom have a far larger clout among the audience than the Noida simpleton.What more, after the eviction played out and Mridul was sent packing home, one could not help but wonder about the nature of the eviction, which was eerily similar to the time Bigg Boss had almost nominated both Ashnoor Kaur and Abhishek Bajaj for disobeying house rules. While Gaurav, who was quick to understand, had championed the two – resulting in the rest of the house getting eliminated – and subsequently saw Abhishek and Neelam being shown the door, it seems Bigg Boss was not done with GK gang, and Gaurav himself had no inkling as to how the latest eviction would play out – until it was too late. The latest ousting feels more like an extension of all the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes where Salman Khan has been bashing Mridul Tiwari as being an undeserving member of the house.That Mridul Tiwari’s elimination was unexpected was very apparent in the way the house reacted to the poll tally. Mridul’s exit turned into an emotional moment inside the Bigg Boss 19 house, leaving several contestants in tears as they hugged him and bid him farewell. The recently evicted contestant expressed heartfelt gratitude and humility, apologising to his fellow housemates for any hurt caused during his journey. In response, the inmates showered him with affection and appreciation. While Shehbaz planted a peck on his cheek as a gesture of love, it was Mr Cool Gaurav Khanna who appeared the most heartbroken over the departure of his close friend and co-star.Also Read: Bigg Boss 19: What Is The Big Deal If Amaal And Malti Know Each Other From Before?The moment Bigg Boss announced Mridul as the latest in a long line of evictions in the house, a visibly shaken Gaurav could be seen completely shocked at the announcement.Mridul Tiwari’s eviction comes in a long list of contestant exits that fans have questioned this season. Baseer Ali, who was touted to be one of the finalists in the show was surprisingly shown the door, followed by Abhishek Bajaj, whose fandom claims he was supposed to lift the Bigg Boss 19 trophy. With Mridul Tiwari’s eviction, audience claims of the show being scripted has found new fillip.It remains to be seen how Gaurav Khanna will now navigate the new dynamics inside the house, with one of his closest and strongest supports being shown the door. Previews from the Bigg Boss house have already started painting the picture of a frazzled GK amidst a growing antagonistic house-crowd.Amaal Mallik, Gaurav Khanna, Farrhana Bhatt, Taniya Mittal, Kunickaa Sadanand, Pranit More and Malti Chahar remain to fight it out for the Bigg Boss 19 trophy.
