Bigg Boss 19 contestant Neelam Giri says she received no guidance from the makers during the show, calling Abhishek Bajaj’s eviction shocking but unplanned.

Bigg Boss 19’s evicted contestant Neelam Giri says she received no guidance from the makers.

Bigg Boss 19’s last Weekend Ka Vaar was shocking for everyone, as in a double eviction, Neelam Giri and Abhishek Bajaj were both asked to leave the Salman Khan-hosted reality show. While Neelam’s eviction didn’t come as a surprise, Abhishek Bajaj’s exit left viewers in shock.

Neelam Giri, who exited the show along with Bajaj, was also in shock when Abhishek was asked to leave. In an interview with Indian Express, Neelam reflected on whether she feels the makers are biased towards anyone.

While reacting to the chatter, Neelam said, “I don’t think the makers are biased. However, Abhishek’s eviction was shocking. Pranit could have saved Abhishek, but he came under so much pressure that he couldn’t think clearly. I don’t think Bigg Boss planned his eviction. I don’t think even the makers had anything to do with it. But I will say that I didn’t get any guidance at all from the makers. On Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman sir also explained as much as it was shown. We were never given a script as such.”

Speaking about whether she had any difficulty in coping initially, Neelam said, “In the first week, I was really scared. I wasn’t understanding anything in the game. For me, this was such a big platform, so I was also very nervous. I didn’t know what to do, but then I opened up and started being myself. My life has changed for the better after Bigg Boss; the show has brought me a lot of fame, and overall, it has had a very positive outcome. Now I hope to get some great projects too. I am ready to work on TV and in films. If there is a reality show, a song, I will happily take it up.”

With Neelam Giri and Abhishek Bajaj’s exit, the competition has narrowed down to the Top 10 contestants, Gaurav Khanna, Amaal Mallik, Kunickaa Sadanand, Tanya Mittal, Ashnoor Kaur, Farrhana Bhatt, Malti Chahar, Shehbaz Badesha, Mridul Tiwari, and Pranit More.

Neelam Giri’s journey, though short-lived, was eventful. She started off as the first contestant to be nominated, but despite repeated warnings from Salman Khan to be more active, she remained on the sidelines for much of the show. Her quiet presence and occasional moments of vulnerability kept her safe longer than many expected, but luck finally ran out this week.
