In a shocking mid-week elimination determined by live audience votes during a captaincy task, fan-favorite Mridul Tiwari was ousted from Bigg Boss 19, leading to emotional goodbyes and widespread social media outrage over an “unfair” and “rigged” exit.
November 13, 2025: The race to the Bigg Boss 19 finale took a sudden and emotional turn on Wednesday as contestant Mridul Tiwari was eliminated in a surprise mid-week eviction.
Mridul, known for playing the game with dignity and kindness, received the least number of votes from a live audience segment that entered the house as part of a high-stakes captaincy task. This unexpected exit has left both the remaining housemates and a substantial portion of the audience deeply disappointed.
Eviction Method Sparks Outcry
The elimination process saw a group of people entering the house for a captaincy task. After contestants delivered their campaigns, a secret ballot was held. Gaurav Khanna and Shehbaz Badesha secured the highest votes, becoming captaincy contenders. However, Mridul received the fewest votes, resulting in his immediate exit.
The move instantly sparked outrage online, with fans using platforms like X to declare, “NO MRIDUL NO BIGGBOSS.” Many viewers felt the twist was unjustly used to remove a genuine contestant who lacked the aggressive drama producers often seek.
Fan Comment (on social media): “Mridul Tiwari this show is not for you brother, you are too good to be in this house. Have a great life ahead its just a beginning for you.”
Another comment summarized the prevailing sentiment: “If the eviction had happened based on the power of voting [by the public], he would have remained in the house. This is an unfair eviction that only shows the makers’ favoritism.”
Emotional Exit
Despite his quiet game, Mridul’s genuine nature earned him respect within the house. His departure was marked by an emotional scene as almost every remaining contestant, including his main ally Gaurav Khanna, rushed to hug him goodbye, many with tears in their eyes. Even as he left, Mridul was seen apologizing and taking the blessings of contestants like Farrhana Bhatt and Kunickaa Sadanand, despite their harsh words toward him throughout the season.
Mridul Tiwari was an underdog right from the premiere, where he defeated current housemate and Wildcard contestant Shehbaz Badesha in a ‘Fans Ka Faisla’ public voting to secure his initial entry into the house.
His exit leaves nine contestants vying for the finale trophy, which is reportedly scheduled for December 7. The remaining housemates are Gaurav Khanna, Malti Chahar, Shehbaz Badesha, Amaal Mallik, Tanya Mittal, Ashnoor Kaur, Kunickaa Sadanand, Farrhana Bhatt, and Pranit More.
