Mumbai– The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 delivered a mix of career breakthroughs and comic relief during its star-packed Weekend Ka Vaar segment, as producer Ektaa Kapoor extended olive branches to two contestants while host Salman Khan provided the evening’s most memorable punchline.
Kapoor, known for her prolific output in television fiction, made a high-profile appearance to promote the impending launch of her Balaji Astro App, which has just wrapped its initial development phase. True to her longstanding custom of scouting talent from the reality show’s volatile environment, the filmmaker disclosed her selections for an upcoming daily soap—bypassing more established performers like Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur, and Kunickaa Sadanand in favor of fresh faces.
In a promo clip released ahead of the full broadcast, Kapoor shared the stage with Khan and announced her picks: musician Amaal Mallik, despite his non-acting background, and aspiring contestant Tanya Mittal, whom she playfully dubbed the one who has “shaken up this world.” Delving into astrological insights tied to her app, Kapoor explained, “It has been my tradition to cast someone from Sir’s show. There are actually two people I would love to cast. One of them is not an actor, Amaal, and the other person is the one who shook up this world… I would love to cast you, Tanya. Their Rahu is in the 10th house, and it’s said that those whose Rahu is in the 10th house rule the world.”

Mittal, visibly stunned and overjoyed, responded with heartfelt thanks: “It’s a dream come true, ma’am. Thank you so much.” This opportunity marks her entry into scripted television, a significant milestone for the wildcard entrant navigating the house’s intense dynamics.
Yet, it was Khan’s quick-witted interjection that sparked uproarious laughter across the set. Eyeing Mittal with mock seriousness, the Bollywood icon quipped, “But it’s a poor girl’s role, how will you play it?” The remark, highlighting the irony of Mittal’s bold persona clashing with a humble character archetype, instantly became the highlight, underscoring Khan’s knack for defusing tension with humor.
Kapoor’s history of integrating Bigg Boss alumni into her projects is well-documented; past seasons saw Tejasswi Prakash, Simba Nagpal, and Pratik Sehajpal starring in Naagin 6. She is currently gearing up for Naagin 7, led by season 16 standout Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, though an official premiere date remains under wraps.
As the episode builds toward its climax, the post-family week nominations have heightened stakes. With the finale looming in mere weeks, Khan is slated to reveal the latest eviction. All housemates except Shehbaz— including Amaal, Kunickaa Sadanand, Tanya Mittal, Ashnoor Kaur, Farrhana Bhatt, Pranit More, Malti Chahar, and Gaurav Khanna—are in the firing line this week. Speculation points to Kunickaa as the likely departure, but viewers will get confirmation only during the airing on JioCinema at 9:00 p.m. and Colors TV at 10:30 p.m.
The segment not only spotlights emerging opportunities within the entertainment circuit but also reinforces Bigg Boss‘ enduring role as a launchpad for new talent, blending drama, destiny, and a dash of levity.
