Bigg Boss 19: Neelam Giri hides 'golden biscuits' inside her T-shirt during task, male contestants furious

Mumbai — In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19, Neelam Giri sparked outrage among housemates after deploying a controversial strategy in the golden biscuit theft task.

The task required contestants to steal golden biscuits from the opposing team. Neelam, however, concealed several biscuits under her T-shirt, preventing the rivals from accessing them.

Her move triggered immediate backlash from fellow contestants Amaal Mallik, Gaurav Khanna, and Baseer Ali. Amaal, who was acting as referee, sternly warned Neelam that if anyone attempted to retrieve biscuits from her clothing, she alone would be held responsible since the tactic was her own idea. He stressed that every participant must take full responsibility for their strategies.

Neelam defended her actions, insisting she knew exactly what she was doing and would not resort to playing the “woman card” or “victim card.”

The incident drew comparisons to Bigg Boss 15, when Nikki Tamboli had hidden an oxygen mask inside her pants during a task to outwit Rahul Vaidya and secure immunity. At the time, host Salman Khan had severely reprimanded Nikki during Weekend Ka Vaar, questioning her on how she would have reacted had Rahul actually retrieved the mask from her pants. He had pointed out that Nikki might have accused Rahul of violating her, sparking a huge controversy.

Neelam’s tactics have now reminded viewers of that infamous episode, which brought Nikki widespread criticism from Salman Khan as well as social media trolling.
