The episode began with Salman Khan addressing the careless behaviour of the contestants towards food wastage.

Highlighting the suffering of farmers communities known for feeding the nation, Salman urged everyone to come forward and contribute to relief efforts.

Shehbaz Badesha Becomes First Wild Card

A major highlight of the evening was the entry of Shehnaaz Gill, a beloved Bigg Boss 13 alumna, who requested Salman to let her brother Shehbaz Badesha join the house. Revealing that Shehbaz had been hospitalized due to dengue after the premiere, Shehnaaz said, “Sir, give him some work. It’s been his dream to be in the show for 7 years. Please fulfill his wish.” Salman agreed and officially welcomed Shehbaz as the first wild card contestant of Bigg Boss 19. ‘Bigg Boss 19’: Salman Khan Tells Amaal Mallik ‘Front Foot Man Has Become a Background Artist’.
