'Bigg Boss 19' First Nomination

Bigg Boss welcomed all housemates on Day 1 and immediately announced the first twist of the season by asking them to choose one person who would not be eligible to sleep in the bedroom, which has beds for 15 people. Mridul Tiwari volunteered his own name and nominated himself to sleep outside the bedroom. The housemates agreed to this decision and confirmed Mridul's name for the same.

Bigg Boss also schooled Mridul Tiwari for previously nominating himself and for sleeping outside. After this, the housemates collectively agreed to save Mridul and take someone else’s name. The majority of the housemates nominated Farrhana Bhatt, saying she had an attitude problem.

The Twist!

Bigg Boss later announced Farrhana Bhatt as the first contestant to be evicted from Bigg Boss 19 after the housemates' votes. As Farrhana left the house, the housemates were seen discussing why she had negative energy.

However, Bigg Boss spiced things up by sending her to the Secret Room, where she kept a close eye on the other housemates and heard their opinions. ‘Bigg Boss 19’: Shehnaaz Gill’s Brother Shehbaz Badesha To Get Another Chance To Enter Salman Khan’s Reality Show?
